Playing the Sylphyo

– try pronouncing syllables like

tu

,

ku

, or

du

, and make quick succes-

sions of them (

tukutukutuku

,

tukudu tukudu

),

– try rolling your tongue (

flu er-tonguing

).

These are some nuance and ar cula on techniques you can use to con-

trol your musical phrasing.

WITH

SYLPHYO BENCH

With the default preset,

1•Filtered Square

, you might want to change the mbre a

bit so as to be er perceive the shorter a acks of your breath. To do so, place your
right thumb near the bo om part of the slider while you play.

Fingerings

Now that you can shape notes and create rhythm, let’s focus on how

you can apply melody.

The default fingering of the

Sylphyo

is similar to a modern recorder (see

the

Fingerings

sec on for more details), so most notes require that you

touch an

octave key

in addi on to one or more

note keys

at the same

me. To get a feel of the different notes, you will learn a

major scale
