For the most part yes, but some alternate fingerings may be more in tune than others.

Omg hi Niamh!!! Thank you, you’re a very good player and I enjoyed working with you guys.

Sadly I won’t be able to play for a little while, I snapped my calcium cells in my arm and in a cast😢

@@Niamhacorn10 oh no!

senior 🥸

Maybe cause your a violinist?

Yeah, basically! Just need to control that air through a tinier hole lol

@@awesomesauceaccount I thought so!! I think I’m gonna try it sometime

First of all, I'd suggest letting a piccolo player try to play on it, to see whether you or the instrument is the problem. If you don't know anyone, cover the end of the picc, close all keys and gently blow into the picc (not over it like you'd do while playing, you really want an airtight seal on the to see if some pads are leaking). As a flutist who started piccolo about a year ago I have some tips that worked in my experience. The embouchure is similar, you just have to make everything really small, the hole in my lip while playing is the size of a dry rice corn. Also the sides of my lips aren't spread to the sides like on regular flute, it's more in-between normal embouchure and whistling. You also have to hold the picc higher up your lips because the hole is smaller (for me it's just a few millimeters higher than flute, but you gotta try out what's best for you). To start I recommend playing notes between low g and middle d then slowly start building up your range. I also suggest starting with sheet music from when you were a flute beginner and continue up to your current flute level. If some pieces are too easy for you, play through them still, it's all about getting a stable embouchure you can rely on. Airstream direction and embouchure changes throughout different registers are similar to flute and should come pretty naturally. Just remember, the picc is waaay smaller then the flute and you small adjustments might caude huge differences. Anyway, have fun playing around and happy practicing. If you have any questions feel free to ask!

@@l.m.3926 omg thank you so much for all the details this is suuuuper helpful. I gave up for a bit, but reading this is encouraged me to try again! I'll let you know how it goes!

Finally, someone who plays both clarinet and trumpet!

@@lucassmythe4580I play clarinet, but my sudden urge to play the trumpet is unbearable. I'm literally suffering in desperation.

So true tho 😭 - Tenor sax player

Hi, I don't know if you already found your answer, but I find taking it slow and making the notes even when trilling before adding speed kind of helps with getting them. Then you slowly speed up while keeping the notes even (as in they get the same time) sorry I'm bad at explaining. I may be a good flute player but when it comes to explaining how to do things 😅 yeah... Hope this helps though!

It’s like a barcode. The distributor sent them like that 😭 I hate it too 😔

@@donovandunphy oh noo 😅 but great playing!

It's probably an inventory control tag if its a school owned asset.

#1 bae

wonderful tone by the way!!!

pun intended 😭💀

Seems like you’re a fan. Thanks for the views 😊

@@donovandunphy A lot of gay men play flute. In fact most of them are, but if you’re going to mindlessly call me homophobic you are wasting your time. It seems to me like you are the ignorant one if you can’t see that.

​​@@cilva7ableso you're saying men can't play flute, quite secist and homophobic

@@cilva7ableokay pal

Thank you! I’m planning on making a new pov video for this year!
