Nina Perlove on Articulation part 3

[Ninjamox]

I'm a beginner flutist and this was not making a lot of sense, nor was I able to sustain the note without breaks... until this video! It all just clicked and suddenly, with only a minor tongue movement, it feels natural and easy. Thankyou!

[loveloveme93]

thank you so much!, you were a great help <3

[Tohruxtan]

Hi Nina! Love your channel... it's helping me grow :) I had a quick question - do you have a video that explains flutter tongue?

[Midnightme3]

Thanks so much! I always had a problem with it sounding smooth (was kind of jumpy sounding when I double tongued) because I used Tah-Kah rather than Tee-Kee, but Tee-Kee works so well!

I love Nina's video's their awesome!! I sometimes watch them to learn what I can do to better myself. And shes really good at explaining how to do techniques in a simplistic form. Thanks Nina for your awesome videos. Look forward to learning more from you

[puroperu23]

Nina !! You are amazing !! thanks for such a good teaching. my tongue goes faster than my fingers causing the sound  not clear.

how can i practice to get my tongue as fast or as slow as my finger? thanks !!

[itzmanuelll]

[tigerus3]

total domination of the art. i´m not an artist but your videos shows a big one. you give a class so relaxing and so confident. that´s fantastic nina.

[Enriolyn]

WOW!

[fluterific00]

i have trouble getting my fingers to go with the tongue, so I don't do much double tonguing, I guess I just need to learn the phrases better first.

[rybmusic]

I´m in love with the Irish Flute and all I can say is that your advices are saving my life!!! Thank you so much...

[Tweeny83]

hehe...Just love this vid!! It just makes me want to get up and go to my practisingroom right away and practise! ... I have had problems with my double-tounging tecniques for years but thanks to your instructional video I feel that I have some new ways of approachin it!

[pinacoladathe4th]

nina, youtube has for some mysterious reason deleted my account (formerly pinacoladathe3rd) so here is my new subscription. thank you for your lessons :)

[nimeshapatel]

Thank you very much for these lesson-clips. I have missed some of the previous ones but hope to catch up soon.

[shiroshiroqq]

This is quite helpful!! Thank you!

[rsamsonpicc]

Thanks for this video Nina. The part where you state that we sometimes work too hard to articulate (double or triple) is what my teacher tells me. She said I articulate like my tongue is a hammer! Nice to have visuals I can view over and over and over! If you ever come to Nice France, I would love to have a lesson with you!!

[KennyWrites]

Just dropping by to say hi!  That was an interesting explanation. Keep up the good work; YouTube is a better place because you are here. =D

[ninaflute]

Thanks again Kenny.

[deathbynerds]

I just have to comment and say how thankful I am for your videos! I'm from a very small town with no one here available to teach flute.. so your videos are incredibly helpful for me! Thank youuu

[johnny102marvin]

This is amazing. Why have I never read about these concepts in beginning flute books? This is a little off the subject, but, I always get a fuller tone and a better vibrato when I blow from the Diaphragm in the same manner that I sing better when I sing from the Diaphragm. What are your thoughts about this?

[ninaflute]

I'm not sure what you mean by from the diaphragm but I breathe better and get a fuller sound when I hold the abdominal muscles inward. Watch my active breathing video. and tell me what you think.

[johnny102marvin]

When you sing from the diaphragm like an opera singer does, you have more air in your lungs. When you sing the diaphragm pushes the air up into your vocal cords and the result is you are not going to strain your vocal cords, and you have better resonance because you have a larger volume of air within the cavity of your body. Who can play a note for the longest amount of time? By sucking your stomach muscles inward or by bringing in extra air that pushes your diaphragm downward?

[joseluistubert]

Dear Nina, thank you. The video was very helpful. I'm sending you a longer message which doesn't fit here.

Wish you all the best. Jose Luis

[wdciii]

You would not believe how much I appreciate your willingness to share your expertise via YouTube! Thank You! -Dennis

[teichiboy]

Wow you are a prodigy And thanks I will remember that it helped me a lot

[heypearl]

Oh great, I wanted to aske you about the tongue moovement, but you were faster! Tell me is it true that for 1st octave tongue should moove less than in 3rd octave? In the past someone told me that and I'm doing it in my doubletonguing. If I moove less in 3rd octave, the articulation is not so cleare

[ninaflute]

I've personally never thought or felt that the tongue moves differently in different octaves. Anyone else have thoughts on this?

[Intermezzo411]

I've never felt that the tongue moves "differently" in different octaves, but I do find that my articulation is smoother in the lower octaves if I use the "d-g-d-g," as opposed to the higher octaves, where I switch to the "t-k-t-k." I tell my students to imagine that their tongue is "fat" or "thick" in the lower octaves, and "sharp" or "pointed" in the higher octaves. Seems to work. ~Marissa

[snufkin789]

remarkably helpful - i'm currently trying to improve my tongueing but always found that small tongue movement works so much more comfortable. thanks for this video and of course for the other ones, too. especially your ibert and telemann interpretations gained my affection =)
