I started learning how to play the flute very recently, and nobody could teach me how to blow into it properly. I watched about 30 different videos online, read 50 articles but none of them helped. You are the first person that taught me how to properly do it. God bless you!
After watching many videos and reading many articles, it has come to 2 decisions for me: 1. Get flute lessons in real life 2. Trade my flute in for a clarinet or something I don't want to give up on the flute, but the clarinet sure seems tempting.
I played flute in elementary school. I stopped in middle school when my asthma got really bad. Now at 23 I've found my old flute and want to start playing again. I've forgotten everything except how to play f, the first note I ever learned. I look forward to watching your series, and hopefully rediscovering an old passion of mine!
I'm the only male freshmen in my highschool that plays flute and I had so much trouble trying to even make a noise. this helped so so much so I might end up actually joining the marching band for my school. thanks so much
omg thank you so much! im practiceing for my middle school band and i thought i would never be able to do this but thanks to your video i can now do it!!!
I just got a flute yesterday because of school band I'm in fourth grade. This is helpful and I can make a good sound of the head joint already.This was helpful.Thanks so much.
I'm making the sound, but it comes out a little weird and sqeaky. Is there something I need to do or do I just need to practice more? Thank you so much!
Omg thank you so much for this! I was not realizing why I was not making good quality sound and this video helped my find it! Great video! Very helpful!
Guitar Guy buys flute on a fluke. I got some sounds from my new (actually, 2nd hand 1962 model) flute off and on just by luck, like the way I hit a baseball. Your video helps a lot, so I can triple my results of actually making a sound. I guess now, I'm back to the old joke of the tourist lost in Manhattan who asked a local "How do I get to Carnegie Hall?" Local says "Practice, practice, practice."
I saw this vid 5 days ago and today I had to try out for flute and I remembered everything from this video and I got flute for band thank you so much 😁😁
Thank you! I just got my insterment and I have a test Very helpful and educational Now im sure ill nail that test beacuse of you Thank you youtbe and you keep helping people
That was super helpful, thx! I looked at like 20 videos for advice on getting started on flute (in my case Bonsuri) and all of them had the same terribly insensiitve flaw. They say, you may get it immediately, or you may take several weeks to get it, just keep trying. Come on, there must be better more precise advice, I thought. And I was right, you give lots of key tips for getting those first decent sounds and I was pretty much playing within 20 minutes of watching your video.
thx for making this video my class watched it today and i understood it, it is hard for me to learn because i have adhd, ocd, and ager issues. This ment a lot to me, thx for making thi vid!! :D
Thanks! I just received my fife today, and couldn't make a sound. After watching this video, and 5 minutes of noodling around I was able to play a very rough version of Angeline the Baker.
I'm a clarinet player just picking up flute. Is there any reason my tone sounds extremely flat compared to yours, or is it just because your embochure is stronger and you can control it?
I've been playing the flute for 4 years but took a break for 6 months and my embouchure was starting to become wonky. Thank for helping me get it back together!
I have never played an instrument except for my voice I have tried guitar and it didn’t work out same with piano...I found my moms flute and she helped get started so now I’m what you might say self learning/teaching
Awesome vid. Can you make a video on how to switch from a higher to a lower octave and vice versa. Please include the embouchure change and all that! Thanks

I'm a clarinet player just picking up flute. Is there any reason my tone sounds extremely flat compared to yours, or is it just because your embochure is stronger and you can control it?
