For flutists, sound isn’t just about air and embouchure...it’s about how the body moves.

In this featured lesson segment from his tonebase course Sound and Articulation in the Classical Style, Philipp Jundt explores how understanding body weight and breath can transform phrasing in Baroque and Classical repertoire.

He demonstrates a simple “arm drop” exercise that reconnects sound to natural motion: lifting the arms as you inhale, then letting them fall as you exhale.

The result? A tone that feels effortless and expressive, rooted in the physical rhythm of the phrase itself.

Try this exercise and notice how your sound opens up. Then, dive deeper into Jundt’s full course to explore the art of phrasing across styles and centuries.
