Finding Color in Your Musical Line - FluteTips 146

Do you change your tone color when you practice solos? Do you even think about it as you play? For that matter, what is tone color?

Using tone color in a solo or performance is something that separates the professional from the amateur. Knowing how and when to use tone color makes performances of the same piece differ from performer to performer. But it can be one of those ethereal ideas that one can’t possibly do without being gifted.

I am here to tell you that you too can use tone color. It is just a matter of understanding how to get a different color on the flute using vowel sounds, vibrato, and the angle of your air stream.

In this flute tip I take a particular line in a solo and explain how you can change your performance by changing the tone color.
