The length of breath and the use of legato playing are addressed with carefully selected works (often orchestral excerpts), which permit the flutist to play with a tone and expression comparable to that of a singer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso covered are fundamental subjects such as support, vibrato, the column of air, the movement of the jaw, the timbre, and other nuances in the form of “notes” and “articles”.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour chapters address the following issues:\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1 — the energy of breath; airflow and airstream; quantity and intensity. Work focuses on the lower end of the air column. \u003cbr\u003eChapter 2 — a focus on embouchure – the top end of the air column. These lip awareness exercises aim at lip flexibility and aperture control in order to develop a broad dynamic range and to play long tones. \u003cbr\u003eChapter 3 — a synthesis of the first two chapters: modulating the air stream and controlling the lips to play long, nuanced phrases.\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4 — takes the previous chapter further with a focus on legato playing in lyrical pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gerard Billaudot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46966390227238,"sku":"9790043097082","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/3559\/5814\/products\/D009790043097082_d.jpg?v=1697475069","url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/bernold-p-le-souffle-le-son-the-wind-the-sound","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
