Let me begin with this: I am not a fue master.

​

I have, however, dedicated my life to flute performance. I also have two degrees specifically in playing flute. Beyond that, I have been studying fue for the past two years with someone who is certainly a master fue player - Kaoru Watanabe.

​

And what do I have to show for it? Above all things, I can make a great sound.

For fue (and flute, for that matter), the hardest thing to master is the production of good tone. Everyone knows what bad tone can sound like: airy, screechy, weak. Within the past three years of my studies, I have been asked time and time again by various taiko players throughout the region on tips for how I get my sound.

​

So I'm offering it to you. Everything you need to know about tone production. We'll get good sound throughout the first and second octave by the time we're through.
