thank you so much, the hissing tip was fantastic I was struggly with the concept of incresing support and air spead, this made it totally intuitive!

Thanks again! It's tough around E and F. . But this works well!

[@lotsabirds]

Thank you! I'm starting the middle register! It should be fun.

[@gwenkelso-fundamentallyflu9386]

Wonderful!

[@Conta_Google]

It was mind-blowing!!!

[@lotsabirds]

Yes, yes! I'm very new! I'm a retired tenor, choir director who decided to learn flute in my old age! Lol! Well, not that old!😂

[@gwenkelso-fundamentallyflu9386]

Oh good luck! The voice is so closely related to flute playing, you’ll be an expert in no time!

@@gwenkelso-fundamentallyflu9386 I'm seeing how breathing, throat and mouth positioning will be similar! I'm enjoying the journey! Thanks again!

I'm sorry I didn't quite get the pro clip part. Could you please elaborate on that a little bit? 🙂

[@gwenkelso-fundamentallyflu9386]

Ah- thanks for reaching out. The pneumo pro is an amazing tool that helps fix air speed/direction really quickly. Here’s the video showing you kzbin.info/www/bejne/joWkpX5onr5gotUsi=OliJjePJ834cOjVq 😊

C and csharp been difficult after taking a long break for years. C sounds bit squashed at times

[@gwenkelso-fundamentallyflu9386]

Do you mean in the middle register? Check that the flute isn't turned in towards your mouth too much. You want to keep the top lip well away from the hole. I hope that this helps 🙂

[@scarlettrhettforever]

@@gwenkelso-fundamentallyflu9386 yes Middle register.

[@Kjhd9987hy]

3rd register is super easy for me, and low is pretty easy, wish i had more volue, but the middle is wobbly in and out between 3rd or 1st

[@gwenkelso-fundamentallyflu9386]

Keep working at it Daniel, it'll come! Just make sure that your jaw isn't tight and you can shift the direction of the air as well as the speed. 😊
