Learn how to play a pan flute. MUSIC 105 The music you play will be as beautiful as you make it! Basic notes are like ugly ducklings - - you have to transform them into swans! You do this by employing the various techniques I show you in this video, such as tremolo, bending, articulation, slurring etc.. You need these and the other skills I teach you, to make your playing sparkle.
Notice examples of a slurred attack, syncopated phrasing, a bit of improvisation and silences in my vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGTXwaF_qtc
I play about 10 different instruments and I find the Pan Flute is the easiest of all to learn and play. It's a beautiful instrument and people just love to hear you play it! ~ I play classics, jazz, blues, ballads - and every genre of music you can think of.

Do go to YouTube's 'Search' - enter how to play the pan flute and you'll find many teachers posting videos. Look at all of them and learn as much as you can.
The essential thing is to PRACTICE. When practicing, if you start feeling tired or irked, stop ... and come back later. Dont get frustrated! You'll find, in the interim, your 'mind' continues to work on the 'problem' and when you come back you can manage much better. Practice a bit every day and soon and before you know it, you'll be playing beautifully and masterfully!
SOME IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PRACTICE ... YOUR BODY REMEMBERS WHATEVER IT REPEATS. This is called muscle memory. Every time you play something, right or wrong, your body is learning it. Take your time when you practice, do it slowly and CORRECTLY and play it many times, over and over, and over, slowly and CORRECTLY. This creates what is called a "good habit." DO NOT PRACTICE MISTAKES ! ! ! When you make a mistake STOP and play it over.
By the way ~ apologies for the slight distortion on some of the notes in this video. It's a Logitech web cam I'm using and it's a real chore to try to position it so it doesn't distort. As it is, the 'gain' is turned right down - - but it still distorts... O the trials of life!
Here is a mail that came in...
David, you seem like a fascinating man. Of all the teachers I've viewed here on the tube, you give the best lesson/instruction for my needs. So calm and patient and unhurried. I am going to commit my lessons with you and see myself evolve in learning this instrument. I'll keep you informed of my progress. Thank you for taking the time. Kevin
I replied: ~ Hey Kevin ~ just a few words of encouragement ~ to learn any new skill can be trying in the beginning. Just be patient with yourself ... don't get frustrated and give up! That's worth repeating ~ be patient with yourself ... don't get frustrated and give up! - you have the rest of your life to 'perfect' it ! ! !
