I was legit about to give up all hope and quit band but then I came across his lessons and I did everything correctly within 3 try’s. He is a great teacher
My parents don't believe I can do it. They think it is a waste of money especially since I also play clarinet, oboe, saxophone, piano and guitar. So they won't give me lessons. Thank you soo sooo much!!!!! I am actually getting it. I love music and you have helped me to believe I might actually prove my parents wrong!!!!
Dear Mr.Selfridge, before i met you i thought both of my hands faced to me i look crazy but then i met you and now im playing better than everyone in my class and i just got my flute a few weeks ago and they have had a flute for 2 years ILYSM!!!
I got my flute a few weeks ago and found your videos and have done so well, I am working on Uptown Funk now. Thank you so much for helping me expand my musical abilities and try a new instrument.
Thank you :D I started with 10 years and made an eternally long break. Now I've got a flute again and would like to play it again, but especially the H and the D has made me so difficult, but now I watch your videos again and again and it folds again, now only the regular exercise is missing as you always say :D
Wow, I'm pretty intermediate at flute but was really struggling with D and _Eb_ , but just after watching this video I can play them easily Subscribed!
If you've checked everything and it's still not working, press your fingers down as hard as you can and blow because if the slightest bit of air can cause a problem. :)
used to play flute in sixth grade and liked it but didn't keep going. freshman in high school now and wish I stuck with it, I love playing instruments :)
I got my transversal flute few weeks ago, at first i was soo confuse but then i found your channel. And now its getting easier. This vid was really helpfull!You deserve more subscribers! :D
I can't figure this out! When I'm blowing into just the head joint, my embouchure sounds fine, but whenever I add the rest of the flute, the only sound it makes is the sound of air going into the flute! Help! I've tried directing my air differently and everything.
Thanks! I'm joining band to play a flute ( was going to be saxophone but we live in a townhouse ) . On Monday, my teacher will show me the flute I can rent. Thanks! Can't wait to play the flute. By the way, have you heard a song called Land Down Under? The flute sounds amazing!
This so helpful but my sound it hard to came out it not helpful right now for me but thank you teaching goodly your nice and kind hope you have a wonderful day and be happily ever after for your life sir.
So I'm at a bit of a loss here. I only started recently and so far, your lessons have been super helpful. But for some reason, I can't get the D working. I can get a nice, clear sound out of it when pressing all the home keys safe for the pinkies, but as soon as I let go of the first one, it's just air. Any advice on that?
I wish I could play the flute (I think my mom might let me), though her concern is that I have to many hobbies and I play the piano and ukulele already
My flute just got delivered today I’m 16 years old I know it’s too late to learn a new instrument but I’m trying. What do u guys think should I keep going?
Thanks for the first lesson, my name Hanung from Indonesia. I am beginner and im very happy when I can sound one pitch. Im followed your instruction and play it, but i found the difference. You can make pitch D, but with the same fingering I make pitch Eb. Can you help my problem Mr?
I have been playing 3rd octave D the same as 2nd octave for 8 years and I just found out when I recently changed schools that it's actually different. I took out a tuner and they sound almost identical. Do you think it's ok for me to play it like 2nd octave D since it is easier for me? I tried changing over but it's really confusing me! Please reply!!!
I had band but I quit I was pretty good but I had to give my flute back but I got a flute for Christmas so I hav been trying to learn again but I always get light headed..
I'm from brazil and my flute has just two circle keys in the last piece . I can play other notes but not this one . Might the problem be with my flute or with the kind of flute ?
I played flute for one year which was last year I remember some things but not a lot I need help with time signature does b(flat) count as 2 counts instead of 4 counts since b(flat) lowers the pitch of a note ? I'm kinda confused 😔
woaaa ! MP ! Got my flute today. Fingering is ok. But couldn't produce a stable sound. For some reason i was trying the lowest notes first and was usually in overtone (i think it the right word). The D is much easier, but with the MP ? Pfffffft easy :D ! I have a question : can a dirt cheap flute (140€, brand new from factory) be a disadvantage to produce good note or is it just poor quality that will break in a few month ?
Can you you please help, I checked everything but no matter how hard I try I can't play D or Eb but I can play Bb, C and F. By the way, can you please make more lessons? I've only played for 2 weeks with one lesson.
Hi so I am new I got a flute today and at 2:37 when on the fingering chart it said to press that one button at the bottom it makes it lower but when i put my thumb up for it then it sounded like the note you played
I just got my flute and i was really confused how to do a d note. for the thumb there is the keys, so do we press the circle or the whole thing. and thx for showing me how to blow. the mp really worked
I am in fifth grade and in fifth and six grade, we get a choice of band or orchestra. I picked the flute in band but I can't make a sound yet even though my band teacher says I can watch your video to start my first note. I don't know if this is the problem, but noticed that your flute has holes on the keys. Does that really matter?
I can play the piano and guitar im starting to play the flute again I stopped cause I was in a wheelchair and the band director hated me I also want to try the violin
i'm playing on a really old flute my grandpa found in the trash (in a case) but it was super tarnished and metallic smelling. I cleaned the outside with a polishing cloth but i couldn't get the inside. I can make a sound like yours with the mouth piece alone but when I try to play a d or anything else it sounds really "woody" (is that only a sax term lol?) and not clear at all. I am wondering if it improves the sound of the flute if I try to clean the inside or if there could be a problem with my pads? I sat here trying to made the D sound loud and clear for an hour with no luck and I don't know if it's me or this old flute. :S
My D note keeps shooting up too high and no matter how many times I check everything, it still does the same thing. I've played the trumpet for 5 years but I've always wanted to learn to play flute. I don't know if there might be something wrong with the flute I have. The keys seem to work. Please help!!
I was legit about to give up all hope and quit band but then I came across his lessons and I did everything correctly within 3 try’s. He is a great teacher

Thank you soo sooo much!!!!! I am actually getting it. I love music and you have helped me to believe I might actually prove my parents wrong!!!!
I'm a beginning flute player for my school band. I missed a huge chunk of the class where we learned the D note. This is very helpful. Thank you!
I used to play the flute back in middle school but took a long break when I started high school . 3 years later, I feel like a beginner again.
Dear Mr.Selfridge,
before i met you i thought both of my hands faced to me i look crazy but then i met you and now im playing better than everyone in my class and i just got my flute a few weeks ago and they have had a flute for 2 years ILYSM!!!

those are some of the hardests notes. even for pros at times.
Its funny going back on beginning videos as an advanced player and just remember what it was like lurning how to play.
i'm in middle school band I got my flute yesterday i'm already here :D

If you've checked everything and it's still not working, press your fingers down as hard as you can and blow because if the slightest bit of air can cause a problem. :)

I can't figure this out! When I'm blowing into just the head joint, my embouchure sounds fine, but whenever I add the rest of the flute, the only sound it makes is the sound of air going into the flute! Help! I've tried directing my air differently and everything.
Thanks for all these lessons 🤗🤗😎

Do u need to press the left hand pinky finger always?
I mean the left hand thumb finger

I don't know if there might be something wrong with the flute I have. The keys seem to work. Please help!!
QueenOf _PaleVille no
You don't say anything about changing the embouchure when doing the lower notes
I did it
Does the flute have to be left I am a right
