Building Blocks: Right Thumb Position

Greetings,

In today's video I explain the use of foam blocks to help find the ideal, most balanced, position for the right thumb when playing the flute.

Best,

Chopstick and Tonguing

Greetings,

This video is a response to a subscriber request for more specific information about how to tongue with a chopstick in the mouth.

Please let me know if there is a specific topic you would like me to post a blog article or video about.

All the best,
Catherine

Let your toes give you a helping hand...

Greetings,

This video shows the use of an unexpected practice prop--a pedicure separator.

These medium density foam objects are perfectly designed to keep phalanges from cramping up.

For many years, I have found this to be a useful method for helping students experience a relaxed, open right hand position.

Inexpensive, and they come in fun colors!

Best,
Catherine
