Fast flute technique isn’t about stronger fingers. It’s about creating enough balance and stability so the fingers are free to move without interference.

In this featured lesson segment, Marianne Gedigian explains how airflow and instrument balance work together to support finger coordination. When the hands stop compensating for instability, fingers move more evenly, speed increases naturally, and tension drops away.

You’ll also explore why slow practice with intentional listening prepares the brain for fast playing. This approach helps you hear every note clearly, even at higher tempos, and builds technique that feels reliable rather than rushed.
