That's great to hear Catherine! Best of luck with getting back into it!

[@fionapereira5938]

Great information. Thank you

[@JaneFluteSchool]

thanks Fiona! Glad it's helpful :) Jane

[@chrispowemusic]

This video really helped me. I’m a saxophone player and I’m learning flute and this really cleared things up for me. Thank you for the practicing tips.

[@JaneFluteSchool]

That's excellent Christopher. Good on you. Jane

[@patriciabell-williams7847]

Christopher The Lord blessed me. I started playing flute first and transferred to the saxophone. My God. It was an easy transition. Now after playing the saxophone more, because I stopped playing the flute practically for over 50 years, I'm now listening to some of these flute lessons to brush up on my flute. God is really blessing me. Keep at it. Practice practice practice. It works

[@anitashipley4930]

Thanks a lot for this amazing lessons. By the way, what kind of flute do you have?

[@JaneFluteSchool]

Hi Anita, I have a Muramatsu flute. I love it. (Remember that the sound that you get on a flute is much more about how you blow, than the type of flute.) Good luck with your playing!

[@thewarhenk]

Jane, a lot of folks are teaching the flute embouchure on YT. I think yours is the most well thought-out and demonstrated!

[@JaneFluteSchool]

Oh wow thank you Warren. I'm so glad that you find it helpful. And that is an amazing compliment!

[@thewarhenk]

Thank YOU! Between you and my theory teacher (pianist who was a flute major), my embouchure is back on track.

[@JaneFluteSchool]

That is GREAT!

[@Maulon69]

I loved the “trombone moment” at 07’56’’!

[@JaneFluteSchool]

Glad you loved it! 😊

[@Maulon69]

I then tried myself. Almost fascinating.

[@plreeve]

Hi Jane, Like the video, I use to play the Clarinet about 48 years ago in the School Orchestra. Well, I got Myself a student flute to learn with, a Vivace 3 Karioshi. Just done the rice spitting and I can get the low and high Octave with the palm covering the end of the headjoint ! I am struggling with the high Octave with the palm away from the end of the headjoint, but I have managed it ! Just need to keep practicing yes ? I have sent you My E-mail address as I'm interested in learning, really only for My pleasure. Kind regards Paul.

[@JaneFluteSchool]

Hi Paul, how are you going with the higher notes now? I hope you managed to get a good sound! Jane

[@anitashipley4930]

When I play before I make a clear sound I make a kinda whispery blowing noise . How can I fix that?

[@JaneFluteSchool]

Hi Anita, check that the embouchure hole of the flute is lined up exactly with the hole in your mouth - rewatch the video if you need to. Hope that helps! Jane

[@samos824]

Hi Jane, I'm a (very long standing) trombone player and have just got myself a flute as a new interest and change of direction. I couldn't work out how to change the "brass" embouchure to the flute version until I watched your two "first go" videos and it all makes sense now. Thanks.... still a long way to go until I can get a good reliable sound but I'm on the way. Keep up the good work.

[@JaneFluteSchool]

Thanks Sam. And good work to you on it making sense now. Just remember - one step at a time and you'll get there.

[@coultermcintyre]

I'm trying to teach myself the flute and for a few hours I couldn't get anything out of my flute. Now when I play a note, it sounds like a legit flute! Thank you so much!!!

[@JaneFluteSchool]

So glad for you Coulter Mac! Good job :)

[@AmberYoungblood]

Thank you!! My daughter is just learning the flute, and since they aren't getting in class instruction with the band teacher, we really needed more instruction for her. These are perfect! Thanks!

[@JaneFluteSchool]

You are so welcome Amber! Glad it has helped her :)

[@peembee]

Fascinating, informative and really charming

[@JaneFluteSchool]

[@joselozanochica5624]

Qué pena que no esté en español

[@JaneFluteSchool]

Jose - I google translated your sentence :) Hope you can see something useful in the English demonstrations anyway. Jane

[@joselozanochica5624]

Agradezco de corazón tu respuesta y voy a intentar buscar la manera de traducir tus vídeos soy un principiante y me está costando mucho sostener la flauta entre mis manos es un instrumento muy bello pero algo complicado para mí saludos desde Granada España

[@joselozanochica5624]

@@JaneFluteSchool gracias por responder a mi mensaje intentaré buscarme la manera de traducir tus vídeos un saludo desde Granada España

[@daddylongles]

Thank you Jane! Spent about 5 hours going "pooh pooh pooh" yesterday and getting nowhere. Spent a few minutes looking at your videos and bingo! Weird for me as I'm a pro musician (guitarist) but this is my first serious wind instrument at the age of 65 and I couldn't believe how hard it is! I will persevere and look at your other videos. You're a wonderful teacher!!

[@JaneFluteSchool]

Oh thank you DLL for your compliment! The flute probably feels hard for you because of not quite getting the right embouchure yet. Hope you have worked it out now :) The flute will feel much easier after that. Jane

[@johnduheaume6650]

So what's the first tune we'll play Les? Speed the plough! Cheers John.
