Flute song is a style close to improvisation that arises from a structured space. The flute as a guide provides us with its intervallic structure. It will be necessary, however, to understand the intervallic structure of each type of flute to adapt the note positions, using “0” as a reference which is the fundamental note of the scale or tonic in the modal system.

The Flute Song Tablature is simply a synthesis of the melody. Once you locate the intervals on the flute, this tablature can be used for any flute or instrument, as the intervallic structure is revealed by the numbers.

So that you can focus on the interpretation and feeling of the song, our Flute Song approach is based on expressing the intrinsic pulse of the moment. That is why our tablature focuses on the melodic structure, leaving the note duration, articulations, and ornaments to the interpretation in the act of playing. Therefore, we do not use time figures, but suggest some tempo through the arrangement of notes and duration signs noted in the tablature, leaving room for your interpretation.

The most important thing is to internalize the melody of the flute song through your own singing. This activity will make your playing with the flute more natural and spontaneous. By humming the melodic movements, the deep and archaic memory is activated to unblock musical sensitivity.
