Flute Embrochure Flexibility

by Matt Spencer

Playing octaves is difficult and requires much practice to master.

Here is an excercise that can help with that:

*Have special fingerings

œ #œ œ #œ œ #œ œ œ #œ
œ
& 42 œ #œ œ #œ
œ #œ œ #œ œ #œ œ œ #œ
œ #œ œ #œ œ
Ascending
* * * *

bœ œ œ bœ œ bœ œ bœ œ œ bœ
& bœ œ bœ
8
œ œ bœ œ bœ œ bœ œ œ
œ bœ œ bœ œ
Decening
* * * *

In many songs there are large "leaps" (Example: Telemann Fantasys).

This tecchnique practice helps a lot with those types of passages.
Progress on this and go faster and faster.
