Field Trip: “About Vibrato” with Troy Paolantonio

Hi Flutists! Ai Goldsmith and the Flute Examiner go on a field trip to meet Troy Paolantonio and get a lowdown on how Troy produces beautiful vibrato on the upper register. The Paolantonio “Hee Haw” (so nicknamed by our friend Heidi) is the key to unlocking the vibrato on the upper register.
