    Love the thought “if you do it once it’s a mistake. If you do it again it’s a technique

    searched for some inspiration and found it gladly.. yes it is super important to know who you are and to stay to it ... here in a place where playing native american flute is total unusual is it hard to fight against bias to convince ppl there is nothing bad with it to play it even if it means to be alone with playing these flutes which are healing for the soul ....
    if you have no self confidence it is easier said than done to have self awareness... your video gives alot of courage... especially if i have to play in front of a bigger group than usual and to play without shyness or nervosity ... thanks for the video... will take a look at your other ones and suscribe your channel...

    I do enjoy the song at the start to every video you have made. Learning how to play the flute from you. Enjoying that process. And in time will be able to play that song. What a wonderful moment/feeling that will be. I like your philosophy on life. Be well.

    Self awareness is how I basically self taught myself playing the flute, learning certain techniques and making them my own way of expressing my spirit within.

    Charlie ... Another educational and insightful video from BlueBearFlutes. Would you consider doing a video on the technique for vibrato on the Native American flute? My BlueBear eastern red cedar five hole flute is one of my prized possessions!!! Me and mine wish you and yours all things great and good; take care, be safe, all my best and God bless!!! Chuck Knight from Buffalo, Texas. 🤠🐩🖖✝️🙏☃️👍

    • @BlueBearFlutes
      @BlueBearFlutes  3 года назад +2

      Thank you my friend! That is a great honor for me! I do have one video on vibrato ruclips.net/video/QlcP-WFaYJA/видео.html and it is also an included lesson in my 12 week course (currently uploading) as well as in an upcoming video! Keep an eye out for it! The 12 week course is being added 1 lesson at a time to the website until all 12 lessons are there, then public on RUclips. You can still watch it for free on the site however! :)

    Charlie, the only way I can describe you is as a “spiritual realist”. Those two words don’t normally go together. You should teach classes on spiritual realism, with a side course on friendly sarcastic humor. All of your videos sparkle. 😊

    Hi. Is it possible to play for ex El Condor Pasa with the 5 whole flute or do I need another flute?

    • @BlueBearFlutes
      @BlueBearFlutes  Год назад +2

      Ahhh, one of my favorite old songs! It is possible, however much easier on a (modern) quena because of its design. I've been meaning to make a video of how to play it on these types of flutes and will some day!

    • @JosesGarage101
      @JosesGarage101 Год назад

      @BlueBearFlutes that sounds great, I hope to se that video anytime soon my friend. The modern flute could it be the 6 whole flute?

      There are calculators online which are not truly accurate. I have measurements for most flutes available in my book and on my RUclips channel.
