Thankyou Howard! Believe it or not, it was only yesterday that my realisation regarding 'ugly' sound really hit. I have a flute student with a beautiful sound, but a maximum dynamic of mp. All the cajoling in the world has not helped her play louder, until I asked her if it was because she was afraid it would sound ugly, to which she said yes.
Later that day, I had a small group of flautists with much the same problem. I immediately asked them to play a passage forte. A real forte, and not worry about the sound. We would fix that later. I have never heard such a robust sounding forte from young flute students in all my teaching days! What a revelation.
I think we try to take on too much at once sometimes in our quest to achieve, whereas if we break it down into components, we see that it is really not that difficult. Like practicing a passage of semiquavers and expecting to practice it by playing it straight through over and over again, instead of breaking it down into patterns and sections.
