1. Start by playing the note that precedes the turn.
2. Quickly play the upper neighbor of the preceding note.
3. Immediately return to the preceding note.
4. Finally, play the note that follows the preceding note.
When playing a turn, it is important to articulate each note clearly and to maintain a consistent tempo. The turn should sound like a smooth and fluid ornament.
Here are a few tips for playing turns on the flute:
* Use a light and even pressure when fingering the notes.
* Keep your airstream steady and focused.
* Practice turns slowly at first until you develop the technique.
* Listen carefully to recordings of professional flute players to hear how they play turns.
With practice, you will be able to play turns beautifully and expressively on the flute.
