I went to see Chicago band concert last night and one of the band members played the flute with vibrato and I couldn't figure out how he was doing that. Now I know. Thanks
Thank you so much! I’m from the US but I discovered you from the NEFLAC Lustrumconcert back in 2014. The 10 year anniversary of that specific concert was 6 days ago! I hope to become as skilled as you some day!!
Thank you! I actually have a question regarding that concert. It’s okay if you do not remember! I believe after the concert or during an intermission, you played a piece with another flautist. Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/doGxgO4BU74/видео.htmlsi=6i7y-yfBiqfEF1s_ Was this piece original or does it have a name? I would love to play it one day. Thank you very much!
This was really helpful!!! I've gotten to a point where I struggle to control my vibrato and play without it, so going back and thinking about how you create vibrato, along with your exercises, were really helpful:)
I love your classes, dear Emily! Teaching always with a lot of sympathy and great concepts! Besides, your important role as a professional. God bless you! Roberto Sion, senior professional flutist, Sao Paulo,Brasil.
Thank you so much for these videos. They are so helpful. I always feel like I'm doing my vibrato from my throat. So I'm going to work on using my abdominals instead
Hi Heidi! Well, the throat IS involved too... but shifting your focus to the abdominals will certainly help with control and variety! Let me know how you get on....
@@EmilyBeynonflute thank you for answering. Yesterday in my flute practicing time I started by doing the body mapping and then working through the vibrato exercises really concentrating on my throat being opened. Your instructional videos have already helped me so much. Thank you for taking the time to make them into share with them with those of us who don't have access to a wonderful flute teacher.
You are very welcome, Heidi - I’m so glad to hear that you are finding them helpful.... (but don’t underestimate the enormous help & support and individual teacher can give! 😉)
Awesome videoI always learn very valuable music things.from you as well explaining them.I tried the real flute but it's really tough for me to get a consistent sound I play the American Indian flute and I went to the real flute. The harmonica I got to and guitar also the flute is really tough....on getitng Consistency for me.with just working head joint
Is it normal for your belly to hurt when doing the pulsing vibrato exercises? Also, I realised I can make a sound very similar to vibrato from the throat, is it okay to do it or should I do the diaphram pulsations?
Thanks for your question, Delia. Do you mean your abdominal muscles? Well, they could be a bit sore if you’re not used to using them, yes. The throat does become part of the natural vibrato eventually but it’s very hard to control that way and can lead to a squeezed/pinched tone. So keep working on the pulsing (belly) vibrato for a few weeks and see how it develops. Good luck!
May I ask you a question from an amateur and therefore a bit naive about the vibrato. The rhythmic impulse can only come from the diaphragm and in no way and never from the throat. Is it correct ? Thank’s for all and more!
Hi Pierre, yes, as it gets faster, you will feel it more and more in your throat, that's fine... but the start is the diaphragm! Good luck - I hope you found it helpful.
All due respect to Ms. Beynon, it's physically impossible for flute-vibrato to be created in "the diaphragm." Regardless of its speed, vibrato is always created by gentle throat-pulses. Of course the air-support comes from the stomach muscles, but then again, so does every single note we play. Galway has even mentioned the odd tendency to explain flute vibrato incorrectly LOL !
With ALL due respect sincerely .... flute vibrato regardless of speed, is created by gentle throat-pulses. It doesn't somehow magically move upward from the stomach towards the throat LOL . The "hissing exercise" is a great way to teach flute vibrato as other experts have said.
Hi Ron, thanks for your comment. This video is meant to help flute players with developing a flexible vibrato. In my experience, I have found it most helpful to start from the belly, then allow it to move up the body as speed increases. Starting the action from the throat can lead to an undesirable ‘nanny-goat’ vibrato. I don’t know the hissing exercise you mention but as with so much of our art, “many roads lead to Rome”!
@@EmilyBeynonflute You are too kind and too awesome to reply, thanks! In his 1976 "Master Solos" (intermediate level) Dr. Gary Sigurdson outlined the "hissing" exercise in one specific mention of developing vibrato. Works great with beginners. Galway has also said "you can't train your diaphragm to do it" and "it comes from the throat." No flutist alive creates vibrato (with controlled speed/depth) using pulsating stomach-muscles, so why not cut right to the chase when teaching it? We find a similar collection of detours among voice-teachers who avoid the obvious "pitch-oscillation" vibrato approach (not for flute of course) in favor of their typical "it will naturally just develop from proper diaphragm-support" idea that's led to so much confusion and not much in the way of vibrato LOL!
I went to see Chicago band concert last night and one of the band members played the flute with vibrato and I couldn't figure out how he was doing that. Now I know. Thanks
Glad to help!! 😉
What a surprise! So much care has been taken in the creation of the sound!
Thanks Bobby - yes, vibrato can work wonders for a beautiful sound!
Thank you so much! I’m from the US but I discovered you from the NEFLAC Lustrumconcert back in 2014. The 10 year anniversary of that specific concert was 6 days ago! I hope to become as skilled as you some day!!
So cool! 😎 Happy music making!

All that baroque music i've been listening got you on my feed. Who are you? And are all those books yours?
Hi Jorge, thanks for viewing my video. You can find more information about me on my website, emilybeynon.com.
I feel like my vibrato on flute makes you sound a little bit more stronger, projective, and just like it doesn’t sound, muted, or stuck
Yes, I agree - movement in the air helps it sound alive! ☺️
Thank you! This was very informative.
Galway could learn a lot from this...
Thanks for watching - glad you enjoyed it and found it imformative.
