@XxDaughterOfHadesxX First off, it's not a song...it's a piece.. like the title implies on the link. "Piece for Solo Flute" or in the french title "Piece pour flute seule."
People, songs have lyrics, text. This is not a song, it's a piece, or work.
Technique (thumbs up). Musicality (thumbs down). You need to try and understand this piece. It should flow like a stream. You make it sound like the soundtrack to a bad dream. It's not a psychodrama.
@sk8er1370 As a proud owner of a pearl 665 RBE quantz coda I think that they are the best deal that one could get especially if you are looking for a semi professional at a good price. obviously miyazawa and burkhart's speak better but the price for them are something to behold. Pearls are great flutes.
OOO you did that Nina!! You played the piece that piece like a warm up! Look at you, being all experienced and professional lol Great job I loved just the crystal clear tone and beautiful sound.
I envy your tone! Even in the high notes it's great. I was wondering if there is anything you do to make it better, or if it becomes better with more experience. You play so pretty ^.^
That "Jazzy"element you talk about... it's there, its sounds awesome!!! It's amazing how we can apply different elements or how I would call it > interpretative feelings and in this casa from another music genre completely. I wonder what Ibert would say about this kind of phrasing, I think he would love it!!! (I think that's the purose of all flute solo repertoire, to project the most amount of expression and present sound and beautiful tone.
OMG!!!!!!!!! Awesomeness! I start band this year. Not sure if I'll be playing flute or clarinet so I'm checking out videos of both. This is totally insperational in my case!
As someone who is always told to play louder even though I feel that I am already playing my brains out. I admire her ability to project so well. Wish i could do it that well.
@teskataftaba - I know this is old, but I must add that it is hard to hear what something actually sounds like on a recording. I've recorded myself many times, and depending on the microphone, you can get drastically different results. I would personally want to add a greater dynamic range, but don't think a flute can ever get too loud when it comes to expressing strong emotional content. The "harshness" comes from the microphone + speakers + harmonic distortion. Nina did a great job! ;)
Hi Nina! If I can express my opinion, as you ask for, I guess that your interpretation could be a little more delicate and intimate. It's just a flute that you play, not a trombone! But very good tecnique. Good practicing!
i think it is beautiful and that sometimes it is ok to play loudly. (but I am probably bein weird, I am used to playin loudly cuz though I play flute, and can't really play solo in front of a camera, I am in the jazz band) and we are the opposite, our trombone needs to play louder
Wow, really nice playing. Your tone and vibrato are flawless! I loved it. I play flute also and if you could check out my video and give me any suggestions, comments, or advice tI would greatly appreciate it! You're wonderful!
wow. you are defiantly AMAZING. no one is as good as you. lol. haha well that i've heard of so far. I'm hoping with everything that when i get in high school(yay! one more year). =D i can sign up for band and play the flute. ughh i want to play it soo bad after watching you play yours. it must be great. by the way...love your videos.
@midnight222777 Those are very nice comments you've made. However, I would urge you to broaden your senses by listening to many different flutists before making such a very large judgment. There are literally dozens of very fine flutists out there today, Ms. Perlove of course being one of them. But my point is that keep listening to lots of flutists and their varying styles of playing will help you immensely in developing your own unique flute playing style. Do not limit yourself too much.
Since i don't really have a teacher or anything, how exactly do you go about getting a quiet sound on the flute, i always seem to be loud.
Also, getting high notes, do I tighten embrochure? Or use faster air? Or both? It seems like when i try to get a '*third' octave E, i end up doing an A?
**Third octave, meaning the third octave the flute can do, low c (or B) being the 'first octave'**
For a quiet sound, do not slow the air stream but make it less intense.
For high note, try to make a very small embrochure and don't tighten up. Also, the note E is a tricky one, it has a tendency to drop down to A so that's normal. To help play in tune, open your throat up.
i think if you "use faster air" you just blow harder and that makes the high notes really loud and bleh. lol.
i think the best thing is to get a teacher!!
lol
but i guess the embouchure needs to be a little bit tense for higher notes, but only a little bit because you're making it smaller really. play around with different embouchures and stuff till you come up with what you want
To get that "good sound" she says to act like a beginner playing and just blow.You will find after about a week at practicing this, your upper register will improve drastically.[[:
yea, most importantly, u have to shift urself comfotably, it doesn't necessary have to raise ur arms so straight all the time. Slight slanting doesnt hurt.
you hold your flute how ever it is most comfortable for you and you get your best quality.. i was also in band for 7 years and yes they tell you to hold it up but if you get a better sound with some slant then go ahead.. and she is solo performing so she can do what ever gets her the best performance. damn,
you can hold your flute wherever you want as long as its parallel to your lips. i HATE HATE HATE how band teachers say "hold it parallel to the ground" because thats wrong, it should be parallel to your lips. if it isnt parallel to your lips it just makes it airy and flat.
when starting soft to high, um, do you use a small amount of air? How do you play without people hearing the air that is passing your embrochure hole, I need a lot of advices because my sister says I'm annoying when i play the flute, and I don't know where I went wrong on the flute...
Its hard to master flute as well as Nina, just work on your embecure (sp?)
Mabey if you made a video ( You can just record and upload it as well.) and allow others to hear it and tell you whats wrong? Be sure to ask around a lot. I just got my flute today and I don't hear much air on my high notes...?
You look like my french teacher but thats off topic your a very amazing player I wish I could play like that but only that type of genius come with years of experience I have only around 8 years of experience and so many more to go. Keep playing and never stop its too beautiful to end
it is slanted a touch... and just because you were in "BAND" doesn't mean you know your facts. You'd be surprised how little you actually learn in band.
You see, the angle of the flute can help, or hurt pitch and intonation, which im SURE you knew from your major experience with fine arts. In this case, she may need to have 'hurt' the tone, for the song to be played well.
I CHALLENGE U TO A FLUTE COMPETITION X3 just kidding ur too good,im still in middle skool and learning,but i can play realy well,im at a rely good level,people say
If I may, I believe Verne Powell flutes are one of the finest. I play Haynes, but my teacher who has played for 40+ yrs plays Powell and has a $40,000 gold Jean-Pierre Rampal commemorative french open-hole low "b" axe that is as sweet as a warm spring morning! I'll bet Nina plays Powells or Miramatsus......Michael of The Flutes
Wow Wow came across your videos this evening. You are brilliant. I have just started playing after a very long break of about 10 years. I used to be not bad really but i think i sound awfull now lol!! These videos will help so much. I am having problems producing clean non breathy notes in the top octive, ( see my vids) any chance you can do something on producing a clear sound in the top range please? I am having real trouble finding a teacher near me :( So thanks so much for these!!
The only criticism I can offer is that sometimes you let the end of your flute dip too low, which can effect your sound and pitch. Try putting your stand up higher when playing. This almost forces you to hold the flute higher so you can see the music. You probably had it lower so we could see you :), so maybe put the camera on a side view?
I'm pretty sure, that she is a professional flute player, so I don't think she's gonna let her sound and pitch be affected, she teaches at Northern Kentucky...
I received a flute as a christmas gift and have been despairing at producing any kind of sound from it let alone something so astonishingly beautiful!!!
Yu rock soo much! I play flute too! I am the best in my internatiol school (not to brag) p.s. have you ever heard of someone called Tami? She is soo good! I think you should try playing Squirrels on your fute and post it. It would sound soo good!
Beautiful sound. My sister plays the flute- I'll direct you to your channel so she can see your how-to videos!
A question for you: what's your motivation in posting free flute advice? For me, posting violin instruction videos is a hobby I just decided to start on YouTube last month. How has the response been overall for you? Keep up the fantastic work- I'm subscribing!
Amazing. I hope my son will be playing like that someday. He is only 13, started two years ago and he has a lot of strength, good tone, and fast fingers, said the teacher.
Hello, I have played flute for about 4 years. I have a total and complete passion for it. I have never heard something more moving and inspirational to me. I love your playing. I believe you are officialy now my inspiration.. I love the flute...Id love for you to teach me a few things
I completely agree on your views on REAL playing...I`m also a flutist and I´ve seen so many talented people deserting music because they´re not able to cope with the perfectionism-frenzy. Really love the way you play; thanks for posting such beautiful pieces, a rarity in utube. ;-)
What talent you have Nina. I just love watching your videos. This one really blew me away. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us in your teaching videos. I should have called myself the Tennessee Dreamer after hearing the rest of you play. Thanks again for sharing your talent.
I'd guess that what you're noticing is the B foot. Some flutes have an extra key on the foot joint for playing low B (below the C just below the staff). Beginners' flutes don't tend to have these, since low B can be difficult to play.
amazing!!! soothing....i could listne to it all day and my problems would melt away. your a wonderful flute player!!! i hope one day to be as good as you!
I second that. She is a wonderful flute player. Lovely tone. Have she done Syrinx? Haven't checked. Another nice one is called (?) - "Morning" (I think). Maybe Nina knows it - in 6/8? Have to find the sheet music here somewhere to get more details.
Nina. You're awesome. I was playing along with you on my flute (doing variations, of course). Let me know if you're ever in Victoria, BC (Canada). We'll have you up on stage in a jiffy. The conservatory here has a nice auditorium (an old church).
Whats the name of the piece of muzic?? amazing flute playing.. :D
lovely song, in my opinion :D

Okay, So I take lesson from Dr. Andree Martin who has taken under

NOT tighten up my embrochure.If anything, that I should make it as
relaxed as possibe.
She has me do an exercise where you start at your "weakest note"
mine being the E3 and you hold it for as long as you can with that
good sound.

If I may, I believe Verne Powell flutes are one of the finest. I play Haynes, but my teacher who has played for 40+ yrs plays Powell and has a $40,000 gold Jean-Pierre Rampal commemorative french open-hole low "b" axe that is as sweet as a warm spring morning! I'll bet Nina plays Powells or Miramatsus......Michael of The Flutes

Holy cow... Do you have a CD? (if not you should!)
I really like your interpretation, I'm probably playing this for a solo competition in May and it's nice to hear different interpretations of pieces.

Wow Wow came across your videos this evening. You are brilliant. I have just started playing after a very long break of about 10 years. I used to be not bad really but i think i sound awfull now lol!! These videos will help so much. I am having problems producing clean non breathy notes in the top octive, ( see my vids) any chance you can do something on producing a clear sound in the top range please? I am having real trouble finding a teacher near me :( So thanks so much for these!!

lol! with the right use of diaphragm you can make flutes extremely loud!! its wonderful isnt it? :D
yanpan16 4 years ago
The only criticism I can offer is that sometimes you let the end of your flute dip too low, which can effect your sound and pitch. Try putting your stand up higher when playing. This almost forces you to hold the flute higher so you can see the music. You probably had it lower so we could see you :), so maybe put the camera on a side view?

I'm pretty sure, that she is a professional flute player, so I don't think she's gonna let her sound and pitch be affected, she teaches at Northern Kentucky...

Yu rock soo much! I play flute too! I am the best in my internatiol school (not to brag) p.s. have you ever heard of someone called Tami? She is soo good! I think you should try playing Squirrels on your fute and post it. It would sound soo good!

Beautiful sound. My sister plays the flute- I'll direct you to your channel so she can see your how-to videos!
A question for you: what's your motivation in posting free flute advice? For me, posting violin instruction videos is a hobby I just decided to start on YouTube last month. How has the response been overall for you? Keep up the fantastic work- I'm subscribing!

Amazing. I hope my son will be playing like that someday. He is only 13, started two years ago and he has a lot of strength, good tone, and fast fingers, said the teacher.

Hello, I have played flute for about 4 years. I have a total and complete passion for it. I have never heard something more moving and inspirational to me. I love your playing. I believe you are officialy now my inspiration.. I love the flute...Id love for you to teach me a few things

I completely agree on your views on REAL playing...I`m also a flutist and I´ve seen so many talented people deserting music because they´re not able to cope with the perfectionism-frenzy. Really love the way you play; thanks for posting such beautiful pieces, a rarity in utube. ;-)

What talent you have Nina. I just love watching your videos. This one really blew me away. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us in your teaching videos. I should have called myself the Tennessee Dreamer after hearing the rest of you play. Thanks again for sharing your talent.

You really nailed that one Nina! Try get yourself a recording contract - just solo flute.
I redid my bossa novas and reposted (just for you). One of them wasn't quite harmonically correct on the improvisation. Now it's a little better ...

i think i'm compulsively obsessed with you videos-i mean, they just sound so incredible!!
i have one question: do flutes tend to get longer as they get higher and higher in quality?
my flute is a just a beginning one and yours seems to be much longer!
patinsglacealltheway 4 years ago
I'd guess that what you're noticing is the B foot. Some flutes have an extra key on the foot joint for playing low B (below the C just below the staff). Beginners' flutes don't tend to have these, since low B can be difficult to play.

I second that. She is a wonderful flute player. Lovely tone. Have she done Syrinx? Haven't checked. Another nice one is called (?) - "Morning" (I think). Maybe Nina knows it - in 6/8? Have to find the sheet music here somewhere to get more details.

Nina. You're awesome. I was playing along with you on my flute (doing variations, of course). Let me know if you're ever in Victoria, BC (Canada). We'll have you up on stage in a jiffy. The conservatory here has a nice auditorium (an old church).

whenever I play this i go for a little bit of a paler tone color in some of the softer/more feminine parts
i agree with johny102marvin, you should make a CD
