Ormistons' Part 1

Hello!

One of the very first tunes I wrote for wooden flute today. It's a really long tune and it comes in two parts, so today is part 1. It's a jig with 6 parts, but it's not that tricky. It's called Ormistons' because that was the maker of the flute that I played at that time, so the flute gave me the tune.

Enjoy!

Hälleforsnäspolskan

Hello!
It's time for a Swedish tune today - a slängpolska. Easily played on the silver flute - I'm playing it on my wooden flute, but you will need keys to play it on a wooden flute. You need to be able to cross finger a C natural and you'll need an F natural key.
Enjoy!

Flute Basics Part 3

Hello!
This video deals with putting your flute together - being careful of your keys if you have any. How to align the holes and making your first tentative notes with the whole flute assembled. If you've followed part 1 and part 2 you'll notice that the whole flute takes a lot more air!
Beautiful notes is the key to this video - listen carefully to yourself!

Hello!
Today we have a tune on the silver Boehm system flute. It was written by Jonny Dyer many many years ago! It cracks along at quite a pace!
Enjoy!

Flute Basics Part 2

Hello!
Part 2 is about how we approach starting the note. We use the tongue to give the start of the note a nudge. Watch the video! Then get ready for part 3!

To Catch a Cat

Hello!
One of my tunes today. To Catch a Cat. It's a jig I wrote many years ago when I was trying to catch a cat that was coming into the house. A big black cat - I never did catch it, but I did get a great jig out of it! Dots are below and also a link to our recording of this on spotify.
Enjoy!
