Thanks everyone! What's your favorite glissando in your music? I played mine a few times in this video! It was the glissando lick in Piazzolla's music!
@@christophertsiliacos8958 Nice!
i have a few glissandos in “locomotive chase”. interesting song, pretty much just making the band sound like a train but still cool 😂
*sweats in oboe*
same
you’re rare. there’s two oboes in my band 😅.
“If you practise your chromatic scales” well I’ll show myself out
You are the only flute channel that helps me with glissando! All the other ones talk about this “glissando head-joint” and they don’t talk about how to do a glissando without it. Thank you
Oh, I have been practicing chromatic scales, but it is hard for me, especially when going down...
Thank you for a very easy flute lesson, I bought a flute to learn how to play with the hope that it helps to calm my trembling fingers.
Super happy I could help! Be well and happy practicing!
Wow your timing is amazing I literally searched how to gliss this morning thank you!
**glissandos easily on the violin**
ur one of the luckies :(((
This is sacrilegious
@@user-xy2iu9xn6t it's Lung Lung approved.
@@flutechannel lung lung lmao!
Hello, I have a slight issue. You see, tomorrow I have a playing exam in front of the whole class where we play a solo she picked. I’m also a section leader so I had to help everyone around me, and I barely got practice time. The other section leader decided to work with the person who can play well. I’m extremely nervous, so if anyone had any advice, I sure could need it.
Edit: Also great video, very informational
Take the music and read it in bed and finger your parts. Get that music in your head. Also silent practice with your flute can help a lot if you can play normally. Best of luck.
The Flute Channel Thank you for the advice!
How did it go!!
I found glissando's on flute were very difficult for me. This is a great tutorial. I remember the first piece I had to learn a flute glissando was in our symphonic wind ensemble's performance of The Charge of The Light Brigade. 👍 🎶
So happy I could help! Happy practicing!
Excellent lesson! Merci!
thank you for this tips, I just practicing one piece including Glissando technique!😍
Really a useful video! I wanted to thank you because your videos are teaching me a lot. Even if I'm 25 and working I'm trying to enter conservatory, I followed your videos for a while and they are great! Really professional and keep up the good work!
Thats super to hear! Best of luck on auditions! It's great that you're going for it! If you ever need a lesson email me and I can help.
Nice explanation with open holes!
thank you!
Can you please explain how to do a gliss down and fade, like in jazz? You hear this a lot in sax solos where a phrase ends with a short fade out and gliss down. In Pink Panther theme, it's prominent in the beginning. I can never get this right. Chromatically, I can approach it, but how to fade out so perfectly is beyond me. You are not glissing down to s specific note (I don't think) but fading out with a slight gliss down. Thanks! - Mike
I play jazz on an open hole flute and combine sliding my fingers across the holes while bending the pitch and playing chromaticaly. Originally I did this to cheat my way to the correct pitch while improvising. I don't think many people caught on. Honestly I have no idea how to do it on a sax. Air speed? Clamp and release the reed? Bends in Plas Johnson's solo are so precise that it's scary.
@@unclewaynestrains6812 Thanks, Wayne!
Thanx! ❤
Rhapsody in Blue - fab glissando in that!
Totally! Love that piece!
Hello from Brazil, very happy because I founded this channel
Happy to have you here Juan! Thanks for watching.
Thank you for video
This was super cool! I was just working on a piece with glissandos, it's so nice to know how you perform them. Thanks!
No problem! Glad you liked it! What are you working on?
@@flutechannel I'm actually working on a piece for my band to play right now, and I was using some glissandos, so it actually happened to be relevant to what I was working on.
I tried the Glissando Headjoint by Robert Dick and after a while I was amazed how kool it was and no its not meant for classical music but with practice maybe lol
For some reason, whenever I hear or play a short gliss, like that from F to F#, it reminds me of the sound the vacuum cleaner makes when I’m cleaning 🤷🏻♂️ anyways, I love TFC’s videos 👌🏻 Amélie is very talented and has a sense of humor
Thanks Ernie!
The Flute Channel thanks to you 😉
thx for making dis video
Toight
Interesting...I’ve only known of doing this using scales... never knew how to use the holes. Thanks
Happy to help Kerri!
@3:13 your flute headjoint looks like it is made out of gold😂
I wish!
Great like all of your videos. Been a jazz dilettante for 50 years and you're helping me to learn some of the basics I blew off as a kid. Is there ever a time I should play a glissando in the key of the tune or with attention to the chord I'm playing against?
Hey Wayne! So happy to help! Glissandos in classical music is done chromatically unless stated by the composer. But try both ways and hear how it sounds to you. Its all about your own taste in most cases. Have fun!
wow first COOL THANKS!
my pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Love that u did this video, not many people have had info on traditional glissandos, they often do the second one u did. Anyways I'd love if u did a part 2 for traditional glissandos that don't end on a second note but just gliss downwards (or upwards) if u know what I mean?
Sure I think so. Ones that just go from one note only?
The Flute Channel yes like say a written f and then it has that squiggly line symbol for glissando. There is no other note written at the other end
@@jarofjam3967 Yup! So its implied that you gradually decrescendo while you go up for the duration of the time given.
The Flute Channel okie! Thanks so much
My favourite at the moment is The Pink Panther glisando! :)
How do you do this
thanks
You're welcome!
Does the flute need to have hole to do the glissando properly ?
Nope! You can have closed holes and still do the version I mentioned in the video at the beginning.
Hello, can you recommend a resource (a graphic illustration, ideally) showing composers and arrangers what intervals we can write glissandi within? I'm working on a Bolling-inspired "jazz" suite and so far I've used many glissandi that I'm sure a flutist will not be able to play.
IMO, provided you’re writing glissandi like she plays at the beginning of the video (rather than the ones with sliding your fingers off the keys) a flutist should be able to manage pretty much any gliss as long as it’s written within the range of the instrument, maybe excepting the extreme low (lower than low D) or extreme high (higher than, I dunno, high B). The main thing to keep in mind is that he bigger the gliss, the more time you need to allow the performer to travel between the starting and ending note. For example, a gliss between two notes a fifth apart can be pulled off much faster than a gliss like two octaves apart. The former could be done between quarter notes, but the latter would either need a very slow tempo or would need to be placed between two whole notes probably? I hope that makes sense. View it like driving. If your destination is close by, you don’t need long to get there. If the destination is far away, you need more time to get there.
1:03
Could you produce a satisfactory glissando with harmonics?
It might be possible but not throughout the whole range of the flute, there might be limitations. I'll explore more.
Idk why but the way the second version sounded was scary lol
2:30 io quando suono 😂
*laughs in trombone*
Amelie, is Nick still around ?
Of course! :)
@@flutechannel
Coolness. He's gorgeous. 😊🎵💕
@@willistaylor4077 I'll let him know.
Yeah uh I'm a bit to early for this will come back a year....
It's been a year come back
That's when you realise that you're never going to be able to play that
Proper glissendo and sliding ornamentations are impossible on the Boehm flute.
I understand that Boehm's design was necessary for ease of playing in fast chromatic classsical music. However, it simple ruined the essence and spirit of the flute and created a portable piano with a "flute-like" sound.
That's why, you will usually only hear Chinese dizi, Irish whistle, Turkish ney, Indian bansuri, or similar traditional instruments in best instrumental music such as newage, meditation music, etc. In contrast, the sound of Boehm flute is too mechanical, devoid of any spritual effect.
In this regard, simple system flutes of the 19th century are far superior than the Boehm flute. There is a need to return back to these conical flutes, which are nowadays used only for Irish folk music. What a pity!
Fr I play dizi and was watching this like 👁👄👁 it's so easy for us lol
thank you !
You're welcome!
