Developing, after a break of 30!! Years... I stopped because of frustration, but continued dreaming of playing beautifully, but I always thought I was just too bad. Now, a few weeks ago, bought me a flûte, somewhere I got confident to get over my old frustration. So now I'm unlearning and learning the good way. Thank you Tatiana, your videos are much more helpful than what I've 'learned' 30 years ago. I'm ready now to go through, to get over my feelings of being unable 💓 it's amazing!!! I already sound better than ever 🥰
Scale practice is like taking vitamins ~~ it really pays off. I had a teacher in grade 9 who introduced me to playing extended scales. In a year my level increased to show-off. I really wish I still had the breath capacity I did then. I could play a 3 octave chromatic scale in one breath. Super fast and even. I am forever grateful tho, to my first private teacher (for my second year of playing) who had me memorize a new major scale each week. I cooperated an when 4 years later I learned extended scales tonic up to high C or C# then down to ditto, back up to the tonic, it was easy. She also taught me to play the scales with different articulation patterns, which made practicing scales much more interesting and useful. Music is largely made from scales and arpeggios~ the runs usually don’t begin or end on the tonic. When I got to the Cleveland Institute of Music, Mr Sharp taught me to analyze runs before I sight read ~ one of the best things I learned from him. This works well for most baroque, classical, and baroque period repertoire. Tchaikovsky’s music is scalar, but not major or minor. Greek modes?? Just have to woodshed. I’m still playing as much as I can at 69.
Scales are really good, I use to couldn’t play certain 2nd octave notes easily, but since I learned most of my scales and tried to perfect them, I find it a lot easier to play those notes. Not to mention chromatic is also key
Intermediate. Been back to flute 4 weeks ago, after a 30 years leave. Played the flute 5 years in high school. I practice 1 hour per day. Also, been playing the clarinet 4 years (still playing).
I used to sit with my back against the chair and the flute on my shoulder, PLUS I blew really hard (if you know you know 😭) but I'd say I'm between Developing and Intermediate.. Also I have a concert tommorow 😅
After fifty five years I ‘m a jazz flute player who can blow! I could be a show off but I find that to be in bad taste. What I work on is making my approach totally and uniquely mine. I achieve this by adding grace (blues) notes, playing with an octave above attack on the note, finding ways of connecting notes with chromatic slurs and adding synthesizer like chiffs to notes.
Ha! I love how after “Virtuoso” (i.e. show off) is “Show Off” :D Based on this, I’m towards the bottom end of “advanced” but I don’t feel like that term describes where I am… so now I’m confused.
i mean the last three are just kinda depending on my mood- sometimes i wanna play staccato fast, sometimes i wanna play slow and keep my breath steady, yk whatever sorry if i couldnt explain it better lol, english isnt my first language
I’m in the beginner stage but try to practice my scales throughout the week as much as I can it’s get frustrating at times but I know I will be able to do it by working it on constantly
When I was playing-virtuoso but still had a long way to go and would actually only consider what you showed as "virtuoso" as being "advanced". I stopped for ten (long story) years (had stopped for eight years at some point before that too, again long story). I'm 54 now and am just going to have to go into salvage mode if I'm going to play again. I'm miserable without it.
I’m about intermediate- I’ve been playing since the summer in between 5th and 6th grade and I’m in 8th grade now, I have band lessons and private lessons, and I’ve had years of piano experience before playing it
After playing the flute for 3 days now I consider myself developing... I am a fast learner with three years of experience in recorder, to about grade 8, also three years of experience with guitar which I do now teach. Have been playing organ for ten years now and have had plenty of lessons and still have organ lessons. For the other instruments it's with the help of a few RUclips videos and info I found online (primarily a fingering chart). I'm excited to see how fast I'll grow on the flute, being a multi-instrumentalist and experienced with wind instruments I guess I'm in for a fast route to amateur flute as well!
You must be practicing a lot! One of the reasons student books go so slowly at first is that students are learning to read notes, memorizing fingerings (so many of which are the same as recorder), learning to articulate, as well as the breathing. Because you’ve learned how to “learn” instruments, you’re applying all of those strategies you figured out on your own, to learning the flute. IMO try out some lessons with a flutist so you can have further guidance re: flute specific stuff and repertoire.
seven months ago I was intermediate that’s what I commented, and now I can say confidently I’m advanced🎉 guys I promise if you practice consistently and work hard you can get better
Nice play and I do believe that they do that when they're in beginner I seen a kid do that before while playing the flute it's like they were scared of doing scales😂😂❤
I happen (after 4 years of lessons and practice) to be between Intermediate and Advanced, leaning slightly towards Advanced (very humble here guys)… I am a HS sophomore.
I think I’m advanced but I only started again recently after barely playing for the past 3 years because of college. But I have a lot of technical work to do to get to the next level as my teacher was never big on scales and exercises.
Well, according to this video I am a show off virtuoso with straightforward scales like F! However, give me scales in thirds or G# minor and I’m instantly back down to intermediate!!
Not me wanting to play the flute because I’m almost in 8th grade and having been in Chorus for two years knowing that I won’t have to start at the beginning for breathing exercises
I am a new adult learner, just got a Nuvo 2.0. Things going well. I got the Nuvo because I hope my 7 year old will play it in a few years. I got her at toot to learn on first. ❤️

After praticing scales A LOT ( A L O T ) now i can proudly announce that my level is in the middle from developing to intermediate 🤣
Wooohoooo!
That’s awesome!
Is it hard to learn to play? I’m thinking about buying a flute
@@20vannesa if you take lesson is not that hard, but if you try to develop the correct embochure all by yourself well, consider the learning hard.
@@PaoloFraniTroutandOutdoor I will need to learn online then. Thanks
"Show off": your face: priceless 😂
Hehe…the awkward part that technically, while recording I was really showing off to myself 🙈🙈🙈

You should totally try! Imagine your spitting a watermelon seed over the top of your mouth piece but hold the wind for a long time.

I've been playing flute for almost 40 years (yes, I am a humble show off). I dig your channel. Never too old to learn.
Noice
But can you play a staccato c major scale at 180bpm???

This is fantastic to show students the difference between unstable sound, good tone and agile fingering. Brilliant

Clarinet is fun. I miss clarinet.
I am an Intermediate player, enrolled in your Scales Workshop program!.....:)
Woohooo!
I'm also an intermediate flute player, I've been playing the flute for 5 years.
at this point I'm somewhere between intermediate and advanced which I'm proud of myself for achieving in a year (I learned on my own)
Almost two years of playing flute for me between intermediate and advanced!
I’ve been playing for 7years and yet somehow I feel like my tone sounds closer to novice than anything else😅
Same here.
I feel I’m intermediate on the flute
Can you teach me
I’m leaning more towards the advanced stage! I’m so glad my hard work has payed off!
I am in Show off stage, actually Show off Pro Max Ultra Lite Stage 🤣
😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂 best comment!
Same. To the point of boredom. Took up bagpipes and keyless Irish Flute just for the challenge that Boehm flute didn't give me.
I'm the show-off 😭
Virtuoso i play a lot on my flute 4 years. I love it so much !!😇😇😇😇😇😍😍😘😘😙😚😚
I used to sit with my back against the chair and the flute on my shoulder, PLUS I blew really hard (if you know you know 😭) but I'd say I'm between Developing and Intermediate.. Also I have a concert tommorow 😅
What do you mean by blowing really hard? is to get out normal notes or getting out high notes in general
proud to say after 5 years i am confident enough to say im advanced! i am still working and practice practice practice is key

Between intermediate and advanced.
I’m developing I wasn’t confident in myself but now I am and I’m paying attention more in band and now I’m getting better
i’ve played flute for three years and i’m currently right in between intermediate and advanced :)
i’ve been slaying flute for a good 3 years (started late because of covid) and i’d say i’m about intermediate going onto advanced.
Definitely Show-off ... or "the one that starts nervously playing chromatic scales before a concert to the utter annoyance of her ensemble".
i mean the last three are just kinda depending on my mood- sometimes i wanna play staccato fast, sometimes i wanna play slow and keep my breath steady, yk whatever
sorry if i couldnt explain it better lol, english isnt my first language
I’m a freshman in high school and Ig advanced. I practice everyday, especially on technique exercises
I’m inbetween developing and intermediate after 2 months of band at school every other day + flute lessons 👍
I’m in the beginner stage but try to practice my scales throughout the week as much as I can it’s get frustrating at times but I know I will be able to do it by working it on constantly
im at the stage "advanced" and definitely sometimes a "show-off", i have to say :)
Intermediate been okay flute for over 2 years🥚
After 20 years, we're at advanced, and that's where we're gonna stay.
I can't work any harder. Hats off to those of you who can put in the hours.
Nahh beginner was literally trying to get sound out for me cause i play the flute

I'm in-between begginner and novice and I've been playing for 11 months now
beginner cause I just started band 1 month ago and I chose the flute so yea 😅
Wooohooo! That is so exciting!
I'm a beginner I'm also learning how to play the flute for instrumental at high school.
For playing flute for like 6 years, I’m kind of on the cusp of advanced and intermediate
I’m in ninth grade and I’ve been playing flute since fourth, proud to consider myself in the advanced category
Intermediate just started playing at the beginning of school!! 😊
Getting into advanced. This is my 5th year playing.
Probably between intermediate and advanced because i can go up to a C4 but i cant always go super fast
Showoff-
I feel called out lol
advanced!
I’ve been playing for a year now, and I’m advanced😅
I’ve been playing flute for over 5 months and in my opinion I reached between intermediate and advanced

Probably level 5 I also play the violin and piano
nearly intermediate, i've been playing for three years now!
The virtuoso was harder than the show off because of the staccato
Between intermediate and advanced, I can play 2 octave scales and go comfortably up to and including high b

Frrrr been there
Im like novice and beginners together
after 8 years i can say that i am level advanced
As a trumpet player I would call myself an advanced player without having a flute or touched one before
I can do intermediate but not in one breath, I’ve been playing for one year at my school middle school band.
Between intermediate and the next lvl I forgot
Novice hahah nice how you categorize the levels. That shows clearly what to aim as a next step. Thanks.
I'm in level intermediate ❤
I would say maybe advanced for me? I don’t do technical work often tho so my lung capacity solely relies on the pieces I play 😅
Not me wanting to play the flute because I’m almost in 8th grade and having been in Chorus for two years knowing that I won’t have to start at the beginning for breathing exercises
😅😅😅 love this!!!
Advanced but show off if I can slur and not triple tongue
I think secretly, most are in this camp! Hehe…my triple tonguing needs some work!
I am at intermediate level in north Indian flute.
3 weeks into my life of Fluting, I'd say 'developing' according to your examples.
Win!
I’m in between intermediate and advanced only because of those high notes
My teacher says I’m not supposed to tongue whilst I’m doing my scales down so I’m surprised to see someone doing it 😂
Been playing for 5 years and I'm about Advanced
Pov you just got 1000 dollar flute but are in the beginner level
Great video !
I’m probably developing! I don’t like scales and that is why I have improved much lol 😅
I just started learning the flute today
DEVELOPING! LETS GO!
show off is sluring, the one before it is hardest due to tounging
Im at level "show off"
But only in my dreams. In reality i dont have a flute and have only a few ideas on where to get one 😂
Show off because i practice much and im playing it 10 years
i’m somewhere between developing and intermediate i started the flute in 4th grade now i’m in 8th grad
I am at the "developing" level, but I am practicing to be "intermediate"! :)
Time, patience, intelligent work. You will get there!
I am a new adult learner, just got a Nuvo 2.0. Things going well. I got the Nuvo because I hope my 7 year old will play it in a few years. I got her at toot to learn on first. ❤️
Beautiful flute sound to listen. Like👍
For me I can play a wide range and have clear sound I just need more air compacity
I learned the scale c major scale the first week of band
Like show off but when i play it just sounds pew pew pew
5 as a sophmore. sometimes 6
I’m a violinist who went to flute I’ve been playing for 2 months and I think I’m at developing or novice so far
apparently i’m advanced! i only started learning flute last year so i’m surprised
between developing and intermediate
In between Developing and Intermediate; I’ve been playing for 3 years but only really worked on it this year.
That show off had me hollering 😂😂
Guess I never made it past novice in Middle School 😂😂😂 but I loved playing the flute even though it was a very short time😂
I can play up to F3 right now (so close to being an intermediate!)
Between intermediate and advanced currently
I’m not trying to brag but I’ve been playing the flute for 3 months and I’m already an intermediate
I don't know. Everyday I play differently. So... all of them?!
