Practice everything with a metronome. That is always the key.

[@DoctorFlute]

Absolutely!

[@dcallan812]

Useful advice 2x👍 I like to play the phrase in long notesas first. Making trhem a bit shorter as you go but still all the same lenght. OnceI have that down I play them in totaly diffrent note lenghts. Then start on the phrase again as per the music.

[@DoctorFlute]

That sounds great! I like it.

I got my flute from school! I’m glad i found someone who does videos like this! I’m struggling with my embouchure, can u do a beginners one. That would help!

[@DoctorFlute]

Hi! Can you give me some more information? Are you a brand new flutist that has never played before? This video might help you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGLWXomjf5mnpc0

[@vlogs_editswmo]

@@DoctorFlute yes! I’ve never played before! I watch that video, i might need to watch it again, i didn’t know embouchure was the mouthing, lol! I, glad i found a channel who did how to videos! I’m in 6th grade! I’m getting better! You can check out my recent video, i just practiced playing.

[@DoctorFlute]

I just watched your video. First put down the fingers in the left hand so that you are fingering a G. That is one of the best notes to begin with. Then you are blowing too much. Let your air be slower and more gentle. I think your embouchure shape is good. You need to keep it somewhat firm don't let your lips and cheeks be floppy. So firm embouchure, finger and G and blow gently. See what that does for you. Let me know.

[@vlogs_editswmo]

@@DoctorFlute omg Tysm! This is going to help so much! I’ll practice it more tommorow! I’m so happy! Tysm for giving me tips!

[@DoctorFlute]
