A5 Instruction

Congratulations on your acquisition of the remarkable CLARYTONE.  If you can hum or breathe out through your NOSE you will be able to start playing any tune or melody you have in your head WITHIN A MATTER OF MINUTES !!

Follow these simple instructions and in no time you will be sounding the music that is in your head and heart

  1. Hold the Clarytone using your thumb and index finger at the narrowest point of the flute. Position it on your face as shown in diagram making sure it is comfortably sealed below your nose and over your mouth
  2. Open your mouth by sounding “OOH” and keep it in this position all the time. Your bottom lip must be below the slit (fipple) which is positioned in the center of the Clarytone.
  3. Take a breath and softly blow through your nose using both nostrils and ensuring your mouth is open, bottom lip is below the fipple and that the flute is sealed under your nose and around your mouth.
  4. You can breathe in whenever you need to through your mouth, nose, or both, without removing the flute from your face
    You may initially experience some dizziness which will stop when you breathe normally.
  5. If the nose flute is not sounding persist and try the following ….. blowing softer and longer…. Making minor adjustments in the shape and tension of your mouth…… ensuring you are blowing down into the flute….that you are not obstructing the fipple with your fingers/hand in any way.
  6. Avoid blowing too hard or too short……just relax and keep blowing down into the Clarytone until it starts producing sounds. Like singing and whistling high and low notes are produced by subtle changes in pressure and tension changes in your lips, mouth and throat. Higher notes require harder blowing and lower notes softer blowing on the Clarytone.

Once you can create sounds on the Clarytone try going up and down the musical scale. Then start playing tunes you know and once you can do this play along with your favourite songs. Also try imitating bird calls you know.  For further information contact Dr Bruce Copley at  :  www.aahalearning.com  or  tel +27  028 273 8261
