YOU JUST SAVED MY LIFE.

...

just thought I'd let you know:)

[panicpanicpanicatthe]

OMG! NINA!!!! I HAVE to tell you after sooo many videos, it is NOT flutist *flu-tist*, it is FLOUTIST *flow-tist*

Phew!

[ninaflute]

@panicpanicpanicatthe Actually in the US FLUTIST is correct, see my blog entry from Oct 27th 2007 for an explanation: realfluteproject.blogspot dot com

[panicpanicpanicatthe]

@ninaflute Oh. Okay. Hmmmmm.... Interesting. I just always heard my teachers and friends say flautist not flutist.

[ninaflute]

@panicpanicpanicatthe yes, it is a common mistake - unless you live in the UK. From now on, tell them to check my blog or wikipedia for the answer!

Hey Nina! First of all I would like to say that i am a great fan of all of yer videos! I am a flutist myself but I play the recorder!  Must say that yer explanation of tht measure and how you can think the triplets was really helpful! I like to say Blue-ber-ry whenever a triplet occures! Makes it easier somewhat to keep it even! Thank you once again!

[BandMadeMeDoThis]

I was so excited when I saw that we had the same book! It made my entire day! :D But then I groaned when I saw the notes because I remember my flute instructor drilling that measure into me!

[GlenShannon]

Thank you! Very nicely demystified.

[jackielnoel]

I always think "Straw-ber-ry".

[jackielnoel]

I played this a few weeks ago and had so much trouble with the triplets. I wish this was out then! Thanks for the help. :)

[diKsuomynonA]

I hate when they don't put the triplet brackets in. They should always put the triplet bracket in.

[arelys]

tri-ple-et, ham-bur-ger, blue-ber-ry, straw-ber-ry .... basically anything w 3 syllables works =]

Great explanation video!

made everything so much more understandable

:D

[getsuga97]

In my class, we say "1 lolly, 2 lolly, etc." or the "tri-pe-let" version.

Nice explanation!

[OoMrBenoO]

I was wondering if you have heard of the Eastman counting system?

[TheRevelation0]

Yay, all state! I'm pumped.

[Baggs4299]

Nina, this is from Andersen Op. 33.

You are correct, BUT the WHOLE measure is basically 3 - eighth notes triplets.-to cover the 3 main quarter note beats. So, the third beat is also a triplet but isn't indicated as such in either of my printings of this piece. As a rule, flutists should always "do the math" with the rhythms in their measures so that they understand this better and because there are often mistakes in printed music.

[jaxonosu]

When I play this etude I really stretch the time in that measure, especially beat 3. One of my favorite andersen etudes. it's beautiful!

[pumpkin091]

thank you for clarifying!

[mozellagi]

Triplet, hamburger.... I like it..Excellent explanation and demonstration !

[catpiano1]

wow...being so responsible just for few of notes and beats. thx so much nina

waking up watching this video in the middle of the night :)

[Mainehorse]

I ike hamburger better . . . My teacher tells us to say 1 la lei 2 la lei, 3 la lei, and so on depending on which beat it falls on.
