by Rogier de Pijper Vanaf het moment dat we voor de eerste keer het lokaal van onze fluitdocent inlopen is het punt gestart waarop we op zoek gaan naar perfectie. Zo wordt ons bijvoorbeeld vanaf onze allereerste fluitles geleerd om een steeds mooiere klank te maken. Maar, wat is een ‘mooie klank’ eigenlijk en hoe weten we zeker dat…
Rogier de Pijper Het derde register van de fluit zorgt vaak voor stress bij fluitisten die ik tegenkom. Het wordt soms geassocieerd met moeilijk, hard en lelijk. Vooral leerlingen die in een harmonieorkest spelen krijgen meer dan eens te horen dat de fluiten te hard en lelijk klinken en dan vooral in het hoge register. Het gevolg is vaak…
By Eileen Gilligan Tone Development Through Interpretation by Marcel Moyse is an amazing resource he has given flute players. Not only is it full of inspirational extracts and exercises that develop subtleties and inflections in the player as well as a beautiful tone it opens the door to really looking at the flute as a musical voice. It took…
by Robert Cart This article introduces flutists to the imagery and physiological concepts of vocal pedagogy as presented by the great masters of bel canto singing (Lamperti, Garcia, Miller, et al), integrated with pedagogical approaches of the French school of flute playing as taught by Taffenel, Gaubert, Moyse, et al. The bel canto principles of appoggio, portamento, and messa…
by Eileen Gilligan It all started with the Boehm system flute and the French School of flute playing. The Boehm system made from metal and with larger tone holes enabled a bigger tone and more resonance than the Baroque wooden flute with few keys. The French School with Taffanel and Gaubert explored timbre, vibrato and a lyrical singing approach…
by Cate Hummel At face value, Marcel Moyse’s Tone Development Through Interpretation seems like a hodgepodge of random melodies with little attribution and very little guidance as to where the melodies come from, what Moyse was trying to teach us, and little to no idea what we are supposed to be practicing. A lot of the confusion stems from…
by Cate Hummel Marcel Moyse created an entire library of exercise and etude books over the course of his career. He admitted that he created them primarily for income in the summer months when he was on leave from his teaching and position at the Opera Comique. There are two books that really stand out from the crowd for…
by Alan Weiss A beautiful tone is born naturally and cultivated over time. You want to strive to always keep developing a wide palette of timbres. You can nurture and evolve your control to become the best you can be! I have always stressed my tonal concept: Sing, never scream! Slow down and savor the long tones! You do…
What value can we find today in Moyse’s legacy as a player and teacher for today’s flutists and wind players? As it turns out, there is plenty for us today in his legacy as a player, in the myriad accounts of his teaching, and in the many books he published.
The reasons for our inefficiency, of course, are many, and each has its own. Someone is doing great, but is afraid of the stage, someone’s parents were constantly compared with others, as a result, a person cannot fully enjoy their results, trying to do everything perfectly, someone does not have the energy and strength to work until the result,…
