La Prononciation

Articulation – pronunciation – is an essential element of flute playing. Mastering articulation helps bring the performance alive by adding variety, color, and clearly defined intentions to the musical discourse. Articulation on the flute occurs when the flutist's tongue stops the note, similarly to a singer's words interrupting a melodic line. Explore the many possibilities of expression through two series of major and minor scales as well as several exercises and orchestral excerpts.
