Today am publishing new videos to the LeGrand Virtual Studio.
"Airplanes Exercise"(in Category C)I use the "Chopstick Exercise" as a "prelude" to teaching buzzing, especially for advanced flutists who are beginner buzzers.
My version of Keith Underwood's "Chopstick Exercise" which helps flutists learn to better organize their embouchures by playing with a chopstick in their mouths. Very weird exercise, with wonderful results! (in Categories B and C)
Practice "Bytes": short examples of using chopsticks and buzzing to improve embouchure function, tone , and breathing in musical excerpts. (under Advanced Lessons)
In the video I demonstrate the exercise, along with some buzzing and it's results, in short Practice "Bytes." Todays nibbles include:
* Texas High School All-State Band Flute Etudes:
Joachim Andersen, Op. 21 #10
Sigfrid Karg-Elert, Op. 107, #17
Theobald Boehm, Op. 26, #6
* Honegger’s Dance de la Chèvre (North Carolina High School All-District Piece)
For those of you who can't wait to download the files to watch them, here is the excerpt I am posting on the public blog.
More Practice "Bytes" will be posted in the near future. Send me requests for spots in your repertoire to chew on!
Bon appetit!
Catherine
