Reviews
A good walk through, gets all around the flute. Nice way to be reminded of all the small bad habits you might have, and an excellent opportunity to get it right (again)! :)
Excellent video. I would buy 10 more just like it! For me, having a professional like Pahud talk intelligently about *just* technique, as he does in this video, is incredibly useful. The flute world needs more videos like this.
This video gives a different perspective on the fundamentals of playing flute. It is very interesting to experiment with Pahud's pedagogy on the fundamentals of flute playing!
As a true beginner, at a late age (65), I found this to be exactly what I was looking for, and needed, to start playing the flute. I had no idea how or where to begin, and this video showed me what I needed to know. I continue to use it as a guide as I progress. It's almost like having a friend, who happens to be an expert, always available to answer my questions and keep me on the right track.
This is a must product if you are a teacher or a student looking to improve your sound/skills. The video covers the basics of flute taught by one of the most important flutists of this era, Emmanuel Pahud. Do not hesitate in buying...you'll get lots of advice and won't regret it!!!
These is one of the most valuable videos for all flutists, beginners or pro. These tips are really helpful and accurate in flute playing, most of them completely ignored but they make a HUGE difference in playing, it covers everything (tone, sound, projection, breathing, possition, etc). this is a MUST HAVE!! 5 stars
It is the best video which helped me to have the big picture about what it means flute playing. Every time when I feel like -I need more motivation- than I just "have" a lesson about the fundementals and it`s done. Every flute player must experience it !
