This is a song called Basie's Blues that I am playing from a jazz flute book by Jim Snidero. The songs are beautiful and I love them. There is professional accompanyment that came with the book and it is in the background. :)

Take a look...the sound is sometimes weird with my webcam but it works and the music is there. YAY!

  • Thanks to all commenters! I have improved greatly. Posture, tone and soul. ^.^ Unfortunately, I don't have the time to post anything new. :( At the time that I posted these vids, I had been playing only about three months. :) Thanks yous to everyone!

  • no virbrato? , really air-y ur hole in ur embouchure is too big

  • I'm a saxophonist, but I guess that's no excuse. I taught myself how to play the flute in 6 hours. I've had no actual instruction. At the time, I had been playing for a short period of time.

  • oops i just realised that you've discussed and sorted that problem on comments on a different one of your songs. sorry!

  • That's okay. I recently played in a Jazz Bar with The Oakville Jazz Ensemble and I fortunately remembered to tilt my head properly. It makes for a better sound. :) Yeah!

    Thanks for the comment! :)

  • @shibihuntress GO SAXOPHONES!

  • Sounds good kid, keep practicing, practice holding long notes with vibrato.

    All the best and keep up the great work!

    Peace~

  • i love these books, recognized the etude the second I put it one. Never heard the flute one, who plays on that one? For sax I think it's the great Eric Alexander, he phrases the best I think.

  • @shibihuntress epic...

  • keep on jammin. love the flute : )

  • PORSEAAAAAA

  • How long have you been playing for?

    Just wondering :P

  • bananaanna.. have you ever seen some GREAT flutist playing? flute straight is sooo classical. there are no rules for music. i never do it to be honest! Fluting freely is the way you really get the vibe into it ;) No rule .. just you and the flute! Carry on!

  • I should first introduce that I've been playing the flute for close to ten years now. Just a little advice to you, Try holding your flute up. You will deffinitly notice a difference in your sound and in your tone. Also, You want your head to up straight. Kinking it to the side restricts the air flow which is causing other problems in your sound. You also have a strong tendency to play sharp. Try working with a tuner to solve this problem. On a positive note, your rhythm is good!

  • that´s very cool =)
