The way you close your mouth when you should be listening to the teacher in class, but instead, you are daydreaming. I tell the students to close their mouth completely, but not tightly. The student should put their lips together naturally.
The top lip should not be over the opening of the flute. The opening in the lips is a result of blowing the air, not making any special shape. Do not pucker the lips, nor smile.
Center the flute and then tell them when to blow. Instruct them not to blow until you tell them. The frequency of its use does vary considerably from one musician to another, for some tonguing is scarcely noticeable, while for others such as HP Chaurasia, passages of rapid tonguing, and the very rapid repeated notes of Jhalla are one of the hallmarks of his style.The teacher should place the headjoint up to the student’s lip. Making the First SoundThe use of the tongue in articulating notes is as much an integral part of bansuri playing as it is in the western concert flute.
They are scared to death that they will not get a sound, so be encouraging. Praise any sound they get. It does not need to be a perfect sound. When they make a sound, praise them. If the student has a tear drop lip, you may need to move the head-joint into a position that will allow for a better sound. This will keep the aperture as small as possible.
Be positive! Holding the Flute ProperlyTake the instrument from them. They made a good sound at school, and it will happen again. If they do not get a sound when they get home, not to worry, just keep trying. Tell them to practice every day. Then, I will challenge them to try it over the next week.
Adjust the foot so the little finger will comfortably reach the Eb key. Place their right thumb under the body between the F & E keys. Adjust their hand position as necessary to help them balance the flute. The finger should bend so the flute will rest on the knuckle while the first finger raps around the flute so the first key can be depressed. Bend their fingers slightly so you will be able to place the flute in the palm of their hand with the body resting on the knuckle of their first finger.
Just tell the students to make it sound high. It is easy to play high at first. Some beginner books have a pre-first lesson for the flutes with low B, A, G. Also, these notes will make the students have a much larger aperture. These are difficult notes to produce a sound, and they are difficult fingerings. Many flutes books start out with F, Eb, D, or D, Eb, C.
That is when teaching is fun for both student and teacher.This article sponsored by Northeastern Music Publications, Inc. Sharing your joy of music with them is the real art of teaching. The students trust you, and they will try very hard for you if you show your enthusiasm for their progress. They will do it if they keep practicing. Even if a student does not get a tone on the first lesson, be encouraging.
