Manhattan School Faculty Linda Chesis's Flute Lesson

[alampi4]

An amazing teacher and kind person! I am studying with her starting fall 2011 at the pre-college program.

[RadicalGolferAce]

Wow - not only is the student really good, but she is really HOT!

[FluteStar09]

love love love this video!!!

[JaneRutterFan]

Linda you are a fantastic teacher. It is great to see you at work... please post more I agree with you about the tongue. Yes start with the tongue forward and then it tongue moves back so one can be focussed on the vocal line/air stream. Great to hear you play in Paris last month. It was a wonderful performance!

Here's the Partita I wrote in memory of Alain Marion 3rd Movt .. all the best

Something I'm still learning how to do - those pulsations. If you watch Nina Perlove's video, she talks about the little rushes of sound that Alain Marion used to teach - not a forward tonguing technique. I'm doing "jazzy-improv" things right now but the teaching is still valid. Many thanks.

The exercise is a single tonguing from page 213 of a French book called: Altes,

"Celebre Methode Complete de Flute", Volume number 2.

Publisher is Alphonse Leduc

Author is Altes.

[rashand23]

Linda is not scary at all,

met her this past week at NFA,

she's very nice, and a good teacher.

In a few mins, she was able to change a girl's tone completely.

(there, a nice comment for u! :P)

but, seriously she does have alot to offer,

so if u can get a lesson from her, DO IT!

ty for the advises Linda :)

i'll be practicing my Altes from now on.

[anthropofagos]

only because the woman scared me so much

=)

[frostishosti]

[ThisIsSmella]

Sorry but, who is this Linda??

[witherwings14]

linda chesis, faculty at the renowned MSM-manhattan school of music

[dasteufelhund]

good lord...look at Linda's embrouchure plate, it's really turned in, whereas Amy's is rolled out.

[jrbrook76]

Many flutists turn in. I position the headjoint where it best feels for my hands holding the flute, not putting the headjoint in 1 position trying to "conform" to it because it's where some say is "proper". When my headjnt is turned in like Linda's, I'm still rolling the entire flute outward, so my embouchure isn't changing in relation to the turned in headjoint position, but how my hands and arms hold the flute. Every mouth, hand, lip, tongue, lung is different, right?

[dasteufelhund]

I suppose in context with the player, however the flute is placed can give her/m the best sound, works.

[jrbrook76]

Yes, but not always about the sound as to where we place the headjoint, but about how it affects ergonomics. If your headjoint is turned out and you have to roll the instrument in to support the embouchure, wrists can dip under and that causes strain. I turn headjoint in so that I'm turning the flute out, and if anything there's an arch to my (r) wrist, much more natural hand position, no strain, AND gives a better shot at having the fingers move freely without tension in the top of your hand.

[dasteufelhund]

In terms of the physical ergonomics, there is a lot of room to work with in hand/wrist and body, but I am talking about the placement of air and the embouchure. My flute needs to be played from a higher angle so I need to turn it out and almost tuck my lower lip under so the air to split for the optimum sound. If the h/j is in, then I get powerful low and weak high. I think the hand/wrist problem is much more easier to solve then finding the right h/j angle.

GREAT!

It's a tonguing exercise from a method book by Altes. It's a really amazing exercise actually.

[steffmasterp]

what is this song??

[Blakeandhisviola]

Fantaisie bY Gabriel Faure

[graham915]

No, this is NOT Gabriel Fauré's Fanasie for flute! Im not sure of the title of this piece but i am certain it is not fauré Fantaisie.

[graham915]

No this song performed here is not Fauré's Fantaisie! I don't know what it is called but I know it's not Fantasy.

[steffmasterp]

Excellent,I wish was that good

[cheezbawl2003]

My flute teacher out here in Riverside graduated from MSOM... Pamela Vliek (now Marchev), and she is fantastic. I'd just like to ask if you're working out of an etude book or if this is one of your own inventions.

Also, the mic on the camera is blurring and fuzzing the flute sound. I'm fighting with my mic setup for my own videos too :(

Sounds great! (to the student... Obviously the teacher sounds good, but you rock too!)

:D

Pam was my woodwind quintet coach over a year ago and I LOVED her. That's awesome that you study with her. She's a first rate performer and teacher. =)
