Nina Perlove vlog: How to use my teaching videos

[ajienolasco]

Hi, Nina! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I am so inspired by your way of playing and teaching that I actually took a formal training in flute playing. Your videos are a great help, thank you very much!

Dear julyanation20:

Good job!

[MoElyassi]

i am absolutely addicted to the way you play !

and i don't know why !!! i mean.. it's so obvious that you play just wonderful.. but there is something else about it.. i don't know what's that... it's like.. your music has a color.. and smell.. it's just ... just something new.. some new env... takes a while to get in to it...but once you get in to that world.. it's just.. amazing..

Hi Nina

Congratulations on your videos. I am a beginner and unfortunately at the moment I cannot have a real teacher so I seek for advice on Internet. I would be greatful if you could help me with a little problem I am having now. Should I use different fingerings for F# / Gb and A# / Bb when I play their correspondent scales?

[obieflute]

You are a very noble woman and excellent musician, I have adopted your theory about the flute being lower on the china dn have found wonderful results =]

[snotjello]

Nina, Thank you so much for these video lessons. I've been teaching myself flute from books and the internet for a couple years now. It's just so cool that people like you are generous enough to share what they know.

[snotjello]

Also, as a singer and a professional artist (painter/illustrator), I heartily agree with your philosophy that the end result and what looks/sounds good to each artist are what's important, regardless of what some may say is correct or incorrect.

These are some good just musical morals in general. Thanks for this mind opening "vlog." Cause this can apply to any instrument!

[musicman944]

Yes. Einstein's Theory of Relativity for music: E=Fb  :-)

Nina: Thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience to help us become better flutists. I've watched all of your videos and they are absolutely wonderful and extremely helpful.

hahaha i have soo many bad habits

[lietzen]

and in addition, I forgot, there are really bad ways to play the flute, I have seen and heard a lot. Please do not say "all is right if you (think you) like it", this is only true if you have reached a certain standard - but who should define this???? The private teacher? you? me? fluteloophost? hahahahaha

[lietzen]

Hi Nina, sounds like the theory of relativity for the flute ;-)

I did enjoy flute playing for ever, when I did it.

But - to try new thins or old things from a new point of view - why not? And you helped me with that.

Okay - but - my flute always sounds like my flute - and this is not bad at all ;-)

[rebflute]

Many Thanks Nina.

"..open ear and heart..." as you say

practice and enjoy.

[guzguitar]

Hi, I think you should post your videos on your Myspace site! they are really helpful!!!

[guzguitar]

Yeah, thank you, I'll aply that to singing and instruments =) I'll just open my ears

[KennyWrites]

Excellent video! I don't play the flute but some of what you said can be applied to life in general. Thanks for putting your music and helpful instruction on YouTube!

[lietzen]

Yes - you are right. But this is all relative, all relative, hahahaha.

And I like strong opinions on flute playing from a personal perspective, and that is what you get from Nina Perlove, if you like it; and that is great!

Same thing with James Galway! Great too! Everyone can decide what he likes. I like more perspectives.
