Playing Tremolo

[wkzh]

Haha snoring. I guess whichever fluttertonguing is more common depends on a geographical thing? It'd be something interesting to research on!

When I said control, I meant that most people who do the uvular flutter reduce it to a gargle rather than a controlled, steady trill. And if you've ever heard a flute choir do a mass fluttertongue... you'll know that it really sounds... queer as compared to a violin section do a tremolo together. Of course, there are ways to tame the alveolar trill too. It's good to know both.

It will be as long as we practice more.

I just found this thread, after posting a question on how one can play the tremolos in Flight of the Bumblebee.

I have heard flute performances, where the tremolos sound just like a buzzing insect.

This thread alludes to two techniques, but does not explain how to learn to do them.

I would be appreciative of suggestions or resource references.

I will eventually ask my flute coach, but right now she is unavailable because of surgeries.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

I wonder if Ling-Ling would be able to answer that... (Two Set Violin channel on YouTube)...

I have no idea, I’m sorry...
