Be Still My Soul

I've just ordered the sheet music for this piece, however I wanted to get started on the beginning part, where Rhonda is singing and playing at the same time. This has been real tricky for me, as you can tell through my facial expressions! I would really appreciate tips anyone has to offer!

Obviously I will need more practice period. I just started today, but this technique is still new for me.

This is what it's SUPPOSED to sound like - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMG2_ltyWGw

Wow! You'd do better than me! Hell, you're doing good so far. I've seen this before, but it looks very tricky! Keep up the good work!

now this is an interesting idea! i think ill give it a shot,but i know you'll be the one to cream me when it comes down to it, so good luck!

Try saying "Ooo" as in "Ooo, I'm telling mom." Keep the airstream present and strong; that'll give you the proper hum&play feel. Now put the flute to your face and do it again(not playing yet). Now form your embouchure around the air stream while steal humming and you'll have it!
