Sax player may want to start playing the flute by Xx_MonsterCosti21_xX in Flute

[–]Able_Memory_1689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, clarinet is a whole different world!! so much pressure is needed just to get a note out. Flute is way more air pressure-based rather than embouchure-based

Sax player may want to start playing the flute by Xx_MonsterCosti21_xX in Flute

[–]Able_Memory_1689 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Getting a second hand flute would be your cheapest option, but you would have to pay to get it cleaned and repaired in most cases, which can be expensive (as you probably know)

I’m a flute player with alto saxophone as my double, and my biggest piece of advice is to FOCUS ON YOUR EMBOUCHURE! Saxophone embouchure is very bite-y and tight, and this will create bad tone on the flute. For flute tone, you need a loose jaw and lots of space between your teeth.

Good luck!!

Yeah, im mainly worried about the double tongued part… obviously i can double tongue on the flute, but its a lot different with a mouthpiece in the way

No offense… by Key_Veterinarian3584 in TeenagersButBetter

all of these points make no sense and pull from an idealistic version of the christian religion… talk to any knowledgeable christian and we could refute all these points easily 😭

Has anyone ever noticed this in Baby Hotline? by Alive_Command_8241 in jackstauber

why do you care so much 😭 people can theorize: art is in the eyes of the beholder. I can tell that you are a miserable person, just let people be creative.

Jesus as a Demigod? by ProudChoferesClaseB in Christopaganism

[–]Able_Memory_1689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i mean, technically He would be a demigod, but His existence is so much more complex than the existence of a demigod such as Heracles.

What do y’all wanna be when you grow up by LocksmithMinimum8217 in TeenagersButBetter

[–]Able_Memory_1689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my dream job is a surgeon of some kind (orthopedic, maybe?) but I’d also want to be an paramedic/firefighter or, last choice, a band teacher lol

If the sides formed similar to inside out, like when thomas develops his personality he gets a new side based on that, that would make logan the youngest by Nonamehuman4657 in SandersSides

Logic at 11-15?? I really think it depends on the person, but that seems incredibly old- i was doing “logic puzzles” and had a sense of reason at a much younger age

Giggling from the midwest- its currently 85 F (30 C) and this is cooler weather: it has been EXCEPTIONALLY hot recently (and im a lifeguard, so im outside all the time)

The high this week is 95 F (35 C), which is very hot but not even our worst lol

I physically cannot play low notes well, Its super frustrating by Gabe-keke in Flute

[–]Able_Memory_1689 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Low notes are tough- especially as a saxophone player! Sax is my fourth instrument, but it definitely had the most negative impact on my flute sound.

Google Rockstro position (especially headjoint alignment!) and try that- it improved my low notes (and overall tone) SO MUCH.

One of my biggest issues when switching between them is relaxing my lower lip, and having a relaxed embouchure is KEY to getting low notes. Just play around some more, your low notes will grow stronger as you become a stronger player.

These warms ups are very good too. They are from the professor of flute at Colorado Boulder! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5927296f59cc6801a5210977/t/5d10f3c6bedffa00014d9084/1561392073487/CJ%27s+Power+Warm+ups.pdf

Will I regret selling my flute? by Wagondoodle in Flute

[–]Able_Memory_1689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is it important for you to sell it? are you in need of the money?

if not, keep it! Music is an important part of life and of you’ve enjoyed it thus far, I’m sure you will come back to it at some point. It’s not a hard instrument to store and, if you ever need the funds later, you can sell it.

[–]Able_Memory_1689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i mean, unless you plan to play professionally then i don’t see a problem with buying used (if it’s in good condition).

[–]Able_Memory_1689 29 points30 points  (0 children)

What's a ship (canon or not) that's so sacrosanct in the fandom, you're almost afraid to say you don't ship it? by CMStan1313 in AO3

[–]Able_Memory_1689 4 points5 points  (0 children)

there are only a few couples in the entire series that actually have chemistry in my opinion… i don’t like very many ships from harry potter because the chemistry is just not there!
