Nina Perlove - flute articulation/double tonguing part 1
Музыка
Introduction to double tonguing. Practice with and without your flute. Remember to play with a good sound even while articulating fast. Use a metronome for EVEN articulation. Try to equalize the tongue (T or K) and throat (K or G) strokes. Play the exercise with:
2/4 TTT-KKK-TKTKT-KTKTK
4/4 TTTTTTT-KKKKKKK-TKTKTKTKTKTKT-KTKTKTKTKTKTK.
Post your video responses and be sure to watch the rest of my articulation videos

Thanks Nina. You are a wonderful flute player, a very good teacher and a very beautiful lady. Im a flute and saxophone player and college profesor in San Juan P.R. and Im using your videos with my students with very good response. It would be great to have you visiting us for master classes!
Your tone is so clear and flawless. I'm a pianist, but i loved watching this video, cause you're so fun to watch!
Nina, you're a God send. Because of you I wanna learn flute!
Thanks Nina. Your lessons are great. I am just learning to play, and I just love your lessons.
This was VERY helpful!! I already knew how to double tongue, but I'm unable to do it fast and for lengthened amounts of time, so I needed to learn how to practice it - this really helped me out! :) Thanks so much!!
Thanks for your helpful video! Your explanation is exceptionally clear, thumbs up for you!
Thanks,Nina for "saving" my flute playing. You are always an inspiration.
very helpful! I am finding double tounging very difficult so these tips were very useful
Wow! Thank you! That was really helpful! I needed particular help on double-tonguing.
That's an excellent video Nina! thanks for that...I hope you to put more videos like this in youtube!!!...
Fabulous practice advice - I can't wait to start trying it - thanks!
Thanks Nina. I had a flute like yours but it hass broken. Then i have tryed a bansuri flute (from north India). I have seen your videos ans i bought a new flute yesterday. So, I wil practice withnmy new flute. I hope post a video playing it soon. Yours videos have estimulate me.
Nice, I like how you introduce starting with the throat stroke to. Something I also do with my students.
Thank you, Nina, this is the breakthrough I've been looking for, and on the clarinet, too! I've never had this explained to me before; I just always figured I was one of those poor souls who just "didn't get it". I still need lots and lots of practice, but this helps so much!
You are amazing. Thanks for the tips!
thankyou so much for posting this, its helped me immensly, i love especially the ttt, kkk, tktkt, ktktk exercise because i wasnt sure how to practice it other than outside of flute practice and in scales going tk tk on each note or t on one note and k on the nest etc. but i incorporated this into my normal practice routine and its already helped after only a couple of days!! you're the best
Nina, your the greatest! and so beautiful! thanks for all these tips...
You are so correct ..if the articulation gets uneven the whole edifice can come tumbling down!
Thanks for sharing this ... Very helpful !
C'est vraiment formidable! merci beaucoup!
Thank you very much! Useful advice.
Very helpful!! I can single tongue very very fast (I played the fast part of the Faure Fantasie with single tonguing) so learning double tonguing was something I always happily avoided.. however, now that I'm entering my second year B.Mus I've learned I can't get away with not doing it anymore haha. This has been an excellent excessive for me.. thanks bunches!! (:
Thanks you so much, I couldn't get the hang of it before really!
Thanks for offering such useful advice! As a saxophonist, I've have had a hard time adapting to flute articulation and vibrato. I've already seen great progress in my playing from your tips. Peace
Very useful, thanx a lot lady ^^
My dream is to one day be as good as you, and teach as good as you do...
2:55 Nice! Very good lesson, and I wish I could play a double tongue that good! I've been thinking about learning to double on the flute (from sax) for big band music. I'll have to watch all of your vids for sure! You play awesome, AND can explain it well. 10 for 10!
Ots great!!!!!! I need more!!
Thank you so much!
Brilliant. We're both using this!
Thank you so much, it really helped! I couldn't get the hang of it before really!

Beka White it helped me as well
Beautiful...
thanks for the vid :D -cheers!
you are really good! It helped me with my double tounging thx! Ive been playing the flute since forth grade and its still hard for me but after this video ive been getting better. please add me
thats what my friend and i did in class when we tried to learn this... we literally went "ta KKAAA! ta KKAAA!" .. . . good times
thanks you so much, very helpfull :)
:) my applogies for offending your feelings. you are right - you're most likely better than me. you got to be great flutists, i'm just a pitiful amateur. enjoy the music. stop fighting. you're the best :) peace, maestro!
she is so great,i will practice what she said
Thanks!!!
WOW just wow.
awsome ^^ same thing i did but when i tried explaining it to snother srudent, i didn't knwo how. but now i know to say ta and ka
I'm just gunna take the head of my flute and practice then, thnx for the help : )
userlD20: yes, tee-kee is fine. watch my other articulation videos where I talk about using tee kee tuh kuh dee gee duh guh etc.
wow your good!
wow., thanks!
not a bad idea for control you articulation,good experience.
Nearly fell off my seat laughing when you showed the board with the Martian language !
I would suggest: Play the passage slurred first. Then play it articulated using the same air quantity or even less, but the air SPEED must remain fast enough to get the upper register notes to speak. Try it and let me know.
Very very useful video. :) I'm having some problems though, it's difficult to do these articulations AND play... I mean, it's weird, we don't hear any "T" or "K" when I play, but we hear lot of air, especially on the "K"...
thanks
I get the concept but when i get the tu ku tu ku sound over and over again, I get slower and i cant help it HELP!
nikaeda: I do a lot of practice with breath articulation and I will be uploading a video on how I use the Bach C major sonata as one example of this kind of practice. Stay tuned...
Its all good, I haven't really got it down quite yet though. Too much work on my part lol.
@littleblackdog0618 both, alternating
dear harkflute: it sounds like a basic embouchure and air angling problem. Try adjusting the emb position and I really recommend singing and playing, a LOT. I have a video on that. That is the most I can say without hearing/seeing you.
Watch video #3 about keeping the air moving between notes, say tee-kee tee-kee with a LONG vowel sound. Play slurred first then just add a SMALL tongue. I'll also be uploading a video soon about avoiding a "marching band " staccato. Good luck.
Watch my 2nd articulation video which discusses that- it is already posted. Click "see all Ninaflute's videos.
Nina this is very nices but what key are you doing when you are doing the sound or it does not metter? And thanks for your answer on tune up the flute!!
Ooh I have to double tongue in the Poulenc piece too :( I'm having heaps of trouble though, getting the high F# out on double tongue :(
Hello Nina, I often use the "on the lip"/"spitting rice" articulation for getting a clear beginning to notes in the 3rd octave. Can this technique be expanded and used as the basic single tonguing stroke for both legato and detache playing? Can it also be used in multiple tonguing i.e. lip-guh" or "lip-guh-lip"?
I would like to get reacquainted with the flute after many years and have been watching your videos. Would a Haynes or an Armstrong be good to practice on? or take lessons with?
To incorporate double tonguing and triple tonguing in the high register, does one use more air? I noticed, when I played, that its harder to double tongue in the high register and also at a softer dynamic like (p)and (pp).
Thx this helped me for my grade 7 what I am practising this year I am a grade 6
c scale up and down, d scale up and down, e scale up and down, f scale and so on
I've been practicing, I have problems with the Ks. It's killing me lol!
can you please help me,what articulation is best for V ittorio Monti- Monti Čardaš,dagadaga,or takataka double or triple help me please,when you see it you will know on what part do i meen. spe.on a allegro vivace part.
What kinf of flute do you own i own a Armstrong 303B Open Hole Flute i have been playing for about 6 years but im thinking to cange my flute what king do you think i should get
whats the difference between an open-holed flute and a closed one?...I know the open-holed flute has open keys...but is it different in sound wise?...and I've only played flute for about one year...and that is hard to play...my band teacher tols us to try it out.
Nina, i was wondering if you know the "Thick as a Brick" piece and could help me with a question. In Part 2, from 6:25 to 7:10, the flute part, is that double tonguing or some kind of effect? I'm just kinda curious, that sound way too fast for double tonguing, but who knows! ps: i don't even have a flute yet but i'm going to buy one asap! :).
do you ever use dig-a or dug-a for more leggato passages?
Hello Dr. Perlove, I have a concern about practicing double tonguing slowly, in the Trevor Wye books, he states that practicing slowly "... has little value..." "slow practice is akin to learning to run slowly or jump in the air in slow motion; not much use!" (Trevor Wye, Book 2, Articulation) What would be the most appropriate way of practicing double tonguing???
I have to Double tongue in allegro malinconico by Poulenc. This helps :)
Is double tonguing the same as just tonguing. My teacher has always told me to use "too" when tonguing. It is wrong to use "too" for regular tonguing? Or with double and triple tonguing? Do you have any tips for an easy transition for the high ledger notes down to high A or F?
I can double tongue but it sound to staccto-ish (sounds like i'm playing staccto notes.) Do you know how i can improve this?
I'm having a hard time articulating the stacatto eighth notes and I can't play clear enough for the chromatic notes A to high C. no matter how I practice it, I still can't get it right and its pissing me off. How can I fix it?
Do you have any tips for slurring? I always have trouble keep my notes seperate. When I slur, the notes always sound like they're "slooping" and running into each other.
how do use the "ka" when playing the flute?
can this be applied to other instruments as well? I play the clarinet. =)
When I increase speed it feels like the tongue is getting in the way of the airflow. How do I make it sound less breathy?
je trouve you tube magnifique dans sa présentation surtout quand on est musicien
this is hard! Well for me anyway, since im not using a flute, im using a picc. and i normally play the clarinet. I Find that using the throat method, i can get legato on the clarinet though =)
petrapana: I use both, but mostly tah kah and tee kee. Only too koo rarely
I find my attack on the notes is very woolly when practising double-tonguing. Is this normal? How can I address this problem...? Thanks.
I have my Grade 8 in a month and I've never been able to double tongue but now one of my pieces has it and I'm freaking out to say the least

Evie Albany-Ward Hey hi. how long have you been learning Flute now?
When I double tongue it's hard for me to change notes and it ends up slurring :(
Wow
nina, how do we practice single tonguing?
Its gonna take me weeks to learn that
See my articulation video part 2
so when double tonguing you actually tongue t-t-t k-k-k t-k-t-k-t k-t-k-t-k while playing through your flute? or is it just ta tonguing all the way through?
Could you do a video on triple tonguing

Perry Harris that would be awesome
Yep, you called it. That is not appropriate. Do you have anything else to say about the subject of this video? HUGS!

I thought it was just me that found it hard. I'm trying tho. Just gotta keep practicing
hi nina, I am a fun of yours! I posted a duet video response with one of my friends entitled TO RESCUE A SINNER LIKE ME its a christian song that we played here at church. I am having difficulty in playng the 2nd to 3rd octaves bt my friend does and viceversa. I wud appreciate it much if you could please leave a few comments, suggestion or recomendation for further improvement. Thank you very much! hoping to hear from you soon! God bless! -joshua Francisco-
so my friend said to me that you dont need to say t or k this is jst a reference to play... if u say "K" you will hear lot of air...the imortant is the moviment of your toungue!!!!

runner157: ha ha, someone else told me that this week.
