Thoughts and Ideas on Creating Your Tone...

Thoughts on Tone
Every note resonates inside our body and somewhere in the flute... ~ The Rampal School

  • Some thoughts and ideas on creating your sound, your tone...

  • The creation of your tone, your sound is the artist in you. Your heart, mind, body self are unique and whole. So is your tone. It takes a lot of energy to create your unique tone and it is worth it!
  • You have a treasure chest of jewels inside of you waiting to be opened and expressed. Your tone is like this treasure chest, full of multi faceted beautiful jewels waiting to be discovered and uncovered. 
  • Get curious about Tone! Educate yourself. What makes a beautiful, whole, exquisite sound? Begin by listening to great flutists, string players and vocalists. You will begin to refine your ear and to define what is is you are hearing and like in great tone. Keep listening to what you hear and how can you play what you hear.
  • Your tone is a one of a kind, piece of art created by you! So what kind of art are you making?
  • Know, grow and love your sound!
What do you like about your sound?
What would you like to enhance in your tone?
What would you like to change about your sound?
What are some specific ways you can do this?

Heartfully,
