Hey! I need some help. Would love some tips. I want my tone to sound clear but I dont know how. My tone sounds kinda foggy and airy. Can you help me??

Open open open! You need more space between lips and teeth. The air won’t vibrate and create the foggy airy sound. Make more space than you think.

I'm an absolute beginner and I really want to learn how to play the piccolo. For my first one I am heavily considering this one by Guo but I am also considering the Pearl PFP-105E and The Piper. Would the Guo be a good choice for a beginner or would you recommend one of the other two instead?

Hi! I think you can’t go wrong with any of your choices. I do think the Guo would be a great choice for a beginner.

Piccolo range: D5 to C8 (according to google) Yamaha fife range: C5 to E7 (stock Yamaha fife fingering chart) I'm guessing notes above E7 are considered extended range.

Yes, of course as you and Galway say, it comes from the throat! Not hard, not complicated, and I’m no great Flute teacher at all -but all of my young students get it right away using the “snake hiss“ exercise; away from the Flute they practice Hissing sounds with the tongue powered by the throat slightly closing and opening just a little bit in different speeds. Most of them are producing vibrato on their flutes within minutes. No big deal, no big mystery, and so easy.

@DoctorFlute

Probably blow a lot less. Low register means low slow air.

Teacher, thank you for all your hard work. I have listened to many of your instructional videos. I'm not sure if this is your tone style, but your tone has a raspy tonal quality. I maybe using the wrong adjective. Is that on purpose? It does seem to be unique to you as I have not heard that color or tone from others here on YT.👍😁.

Since that isn’t normal I am going to suggest you have a technician look at your flute. Something is leaking and needs to be fixed.

Its odd because the notes in my third octave are not created equally. My G and A sound pretty crispy but my F sharp is barely audible and sometimes my F isnt very resonant.

Thank you! This is an amazing help. Do you by chance have a video that shows notation while you play a scale? Some things I have looked at say that piccolo music is written an octave lower. I am a flute player, and play in a concert band. I would like to play some little piccolo cues that are in some of our songs. I would really like to hear the octave that should be played for what is written.
@DoctorFlute
@DoctorFlute 4 ай бұрын
You are welcome! Glad it is helpful to you. The cues are probably written in the normal flute range. You can play them up the octave and see if it sounds good. When piccs play regular flute music they sound and octave higher. When playing music that is actually written for the picc the composer had taken this into account and writes it in the octave that he wants to hear for that piece of music. Does that clarify things?

I got a piccolo recently and have been playing flute for 4 years. I'm trying to learn piccolo, but can only play from 2nd octave D to third octave Eb. It's a struggle to get into the lower octaves, I don't know if its me or my piccolo. Help please?
@DoctorFlute
@DoctorFlute 4 ай бұрын
Is your piccolo new or used? Most likely you need someone to check the pic over. It is probably leaking in the high register. Pics are notoriously out of adjustment. If that is not the case then you just need more support, don’t squeeze, open more and tilt the picc slightly in.

I am just learning double tonguing and is having trouble playing the low notes while double tonguing. It cracks into the higher octave. What can I do to fix it?
@DoctorFlute
@DoctorFlute 4 ай бұрын
Open your embouchure, blow the air down and blow very little. Your problem is that the air stream is too high and you have too much air coming out. In the low register you need to barely blow. Double tongue with the feeling of almost holding your breath. Try it and tell me how you are doing.
