Ah thank you so much! I was so confused because I can play the notes with the right fingering, but I’d play in the wrong octave, and I’d be confused if the fingerings I was using were off. That cleared my confusion. But I still can’t play the E in the second octave, the one on the forth space. It comes out sounding like the E on the first line.
Hi! Sometimes it takes a bit to get the hang of it, but keep on trying! It sounds to me like you might be pinching/ tightening your embouchure to get those high notes out. Try to relax your cheek muscles and instead of tightening to get the high notes, simply make your embouchure (small hole where the air comes out) a little bit smaller. Then blow a little harder to produce a thin but forceful air stream. All the while keeping your mouth relaxed. Let me know if this helps :) Make sure to check out my other videos that can help you.

I have just started playing the flute and even though my D note sounds clear and focused, the E note sounds very airy ( 2nd octave) even though they are very close to each other. I tried different things but I can't get a good sound. Is the technique so different when approaching these notes or it might be something wrong with my flute?

This is really great question. Thanks for asking. That third octave E has the “A” as its undertone. It sounds like you’re not quite blowing hard enough. Blow much faster air through your flute and you’ll find the right pitch. Come to learnfluteonline.com for more tips and exact details on how to accomplish this high E easily. Happy fluting! - Rebecca
Hi, I have the same issue. What I do now, is I play either High F or High D and go right into High E as a slur. When I do this, I hit it every time. Then, I will play High F and then High E separately.. I hit high E more often now. I have found the when I try to play High F and High E (or high D and high E) with the same breath using my tongue to separate notes, I have much more trouble. High E is very difficult. Your embouchure has to be perfect or it will come out as A.

Hi Izzy, there are a couple of reasons for the pinky on the foot joint (you've asked a good question). Some of the notes are out of tune if you don't use the pinky (even if you can't hear the difference yet, just do it anyway). Also, there are important things that happen with your balance when you use the pinky- this helps you have nice, clear tone. :) Come take the lessons in perfect learning order: learnfluteonline.com See you soon! ~Rebecca
i still can't play the highest e. im blowing more air but its just being stupid and sounding like a trill. I'll just ask my sister for help she plays flute.
I don’t know why but for some reason I can’t produce the high E (3), it just comes out the same as the second high E. I keep blowing really quickly into the flute as I thought that might be the issue but it just won’t work
Hi Jai, did you try blowing really hard and fast air? Attempt to make a big squeak .. if you can achieve this, then you can adjust your air stream speed to find the correct pitch. It takes some trial and error but you can do it. :) Are you using the tongue technique I teach? this will really help.

Your embouchure might be incorrect. In my experience, it helped to have a slightly more open embouchure (but be wary of tuning); as you may be a beginner, make sure that you aren't overblowing the low E.
Hi, Great question. Yes, the notes on the flute can sound 'high' or 'low' depending on your air speed and fingering position. Most likely the reason you're hearing a higher pitch is because you're blowing harder than you need to or you have your lip plate tipped towards you too much. Blow a little softer and think 'warm air' and you'll get it soon. Thanks for asking! Happy fluting! -Rebecca
We use a combination of air speed, air pressure, and lip shape to make our high notes come out easily. Also using the correct fingering is important as well as a flute that is in good condition. I would love to help you learn more, visit me at learnfluteonline.com - Rebecca
Yes, the low E can be a tricky one, and will come as you continue practicing. If it doesn't, yes, you might need to take it to a good flute technician to have it checked out. You can also find some troubleshooting resources on my website at LearnFluteOnline.com. ~Rebecca
Ah yes, the high E is kind of a squeakier note on the flute. You have to get it just right. Also, depending on your exact instrument your high E may want to be played with the right hand pinky 'off'.

Hi Jayden, E natural and E flat are two different notes, they are a half step apart and require different fingerings to play the notes correctly. Are you wondering how these notes are different or how the fingerings are different as you play these notes on your flute?
Whenever I try to play it, I cant make a sound, the only way I can is by taking my left thumb off the key. And I have a assessment for the flute soon. Oh no
I'm so sorry that your flute is having troubles, I'd love to help you with your assessment Have you tried playing the head joint only? This is a good place to start in discovering mechanical issues with your flute. If your head joint plays well, put the flute together and start with the note C#, then C, B, Bb etc. all the way down the chromatic scale. You'll be able to find the keys that are giving you troubles this way. Good luck, I'm sure your teacher will understand. - Rebecca | learnfluteonline.com
Don't worry I'm here to help! Could you be a little bit more specific, that way I can help you get the note just right. Are you struggling with a specific octave? or just the note in general? ~Rebecca
+ramprasad Ram Actually, my lessons are for the concert flute (silver, transversal). I don't have a current recommendation for the bansuri. I hope you find one though. :)
Wendi, great job! That is definitely an accomplishment and something to be proud of. The low E is a tricky one and will come as you continue practicing. So keep at it, I'm cheering you on :) ~Rebecca
Hi, I'm glad you realize this finger positioning is not practical. My fingers are placed this way for demonstration purposes only. Just so viewers can clearly see the fingers that are used. Happy Fluting! -Rebecca
Thats a very bad hand position you never put your fingers on the botton of the flute. You always put them up against your keys.iam i the only one who cares about hand position here?
Hi Eddie, thanks for pointing the hand position out. I don't mention it in every video, but I move my fingers out of the way so you can tell which keys are being pressed. I definitely don't play the flute with this hand position. This is only for demonstration so you can 'see' clearly what is being used. Thanks for asking for clarification. Good luck this week with your flute. :) -Rebecca
Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you're noticing the different flute "lingo". Some people refer to the their fingers as numbers, and others get a little confused because the finger numbering is different than piano hands. Because of this we sometimes us the finger names as well. Glad you're learning to play the flute! Have fun with this note. ~Rebecca

Good luck this week with your flute. :) -Rebecca
I can't play the high note e
+Boey Chan It's a squeaky note. Are you sure you're blowing the correct speed (airstream speed)? And, check your fingerings again. ~Rebecca
It's a great video but sorta annoying how she skips between 1st 2nd 3rd finger sorta thing and thumb index finger, middle finger etc.
Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you're noticing the different flute "lingo". Some people refer to the their fingers as numbers, and others get a little confused because the finger numbering is different than piano hands. Because of this we sometimes us the finger names as well. Glad you're learning to play the flute! Have fun with this note.

Thanks!!!
