Excellent video. I would buy 10 more just like it. For me, having a professional like Pahud talk intelligently about *just* technique, as he does in this video, is much more useful than watching him step conservatory students through perfecting a piece that I'll never play. The flute world needs more videos like this.

Brenden Goff

This video gives a different perspective on the fundamentals of playing flute. It is very interesting to experiment with Pahud's pedagogy on the fundamentals of flute playing!

Gary Fidel

As a true beginner, at a late age (65), I found this to be exactly what I was looking for, and needed, to start playing the flute. I had no idea how or where to begin, and this video showed me what I needed to know. I continue to use it as a guide as I progress. It's almost like having a friend, who happens to be an expert, always available to answer my questions and keep me on the right track.

These is one of the most valuable videos for all flutists, beginners or pro. These tips are really helpful and accurate in flute playing, most of them completely ignored but they make a HUGE difference in playing, it covers everything (tone, sound, projection, breathing, possition, etc). this is a MUST HAVE!! 5 stars
