A technique often used in music for solo flute is the combination of melody and accompaniment by one player. To practice this technique, often used in Baroque music and in the Romantic period, I have arranged this study and added wind sounds to make the difference between the two musical lines clearer.
I like wind sounds, especially alternated with regular flute sound. The feeling of flexibility and freedom cannot be described. If you play a traditional flute piece after practicing this flexibility exercise, it will be with much more control.
Every bow needs a bit of decrescendo. The best way to practise this is by playing wind sounds. By moving your lower lip forward you gradually go from regular sound to wind sound. An excellent workout for practising decrescendo.
In this arrangement we use the wind sounds to practise decrescendi. Playing from regular sound to wind sound gradually is a true workout for practising the decrescendo movement of the embouchure. Once you practise your decrescendi like this, the regular ones will be very easy!
This Flute Colors arrangement of a study by Luigi Hugues helps you to improve the co-ordination between fingers, tongue and abdomen. After practising this arrangement your legato playing will be better and the finger movement will be more precise.
Practising harmonics can help you develop embouchure control, aural skills, better legato playing, better air control and support. That’s quite a lot. So have fun with this Flute Colors arrangement of the study by Köhler!
Practising wind sound helps you to develop the movement you need to play a controled crescendo and decrescendo. It also is useful to make your embouchure very flexibel and it helps you to improve your sound.
