  • Love this piece, man! You came to WBHS on Jan. 19, didn't you?

  • @Skinker

    yep :)

  • Why was there a trill that lasted like half a minute?

  • It is written in the music. On this trill you have to use circular breathing, it could be as long as you want.

  • wow this actually sounds like a train!!! ian clarke is a legend. the first time i heard maya i cried. circular breathing is impossible btw!!! then again i don't play the flute...:)

    this flute player is scarily good!!!!

  • You basically store small amounts of air slowly in your cheeks as you blow out, then you inhale through your nose while pressing the air out between your cheeks. It's already difficult enough, but on the flute, it's even harder because keeping your embouchure while your cheeks are puffed out is nearly impossible for some people.

  • this is super awesome!! ive been playing flute since the 5th grade. im getting better. what the heck is circular breathing!!!!????? i heard this song for the first time at Blue Lake!!

  • love your temperament, your musical ideas and your interpretation in general! nice job!

  • 2:50 SERIOUS CIRCULAR BREATHING

  • @PresunCello um it's called polyphonics. It's incredibly hard to do -__- ka;sldfjk in my belief i think you have to divert your air in different areas to make that partial sound..

  • HOLY MOLY this song sounds impossible!

  • How to make it? "Chords in the flute"

  • 0:25-29 sounds a little bit like the show goes on just a little bit though......
