The tongue is the flute’s unseen conductor, directing each note before it’s born.
Jennifer Grim opens the curtain on this inner motion, revealing how precision and artistry begin long before the air leaves your lips.
She demonstrates simple exercises that reveal when your tongue is tense, how to keep the middle of it low for resonance, and why efficient movement creates a more even sound.
Grim also shares a method that trains you to keep the jaw, lips, and chin still so the air does the work, not unnecessary motion.
Inside, you’ll learn:
- The “spoon-shaped” tongue position that opens your sound
- How to balance air flow and tongue contact for seamless attacks
- Exercises for single, double, and relaxed repeated tonguing
