[@flutechannel]

Did you know there are three Bb fingerings? Which is your favorite? Let me know in the comments.

The Flute Channel Hi Amelie , I didn’t know about the Bb with the trill key glad I do now Thanks ! I have used the other two as you said based on what notes come before and after so it is any easier transition. Great video Amelie !

[@flutechannel]

Thats awesome, Im so glad I could help out! Be sure to tell all your other flute friends about it! Thanks for watching and talk to you next time.

[@KittyKittyFaith]

The Flute Channel thank you 😀

Recently I have been trying to use the trill key more often for my Bb's and have been getting a lot more used to it! It can be quite helpful, but it truly is all about the context of the piece, arpeggio, scale, etc. you are tying to play. Thanks for the helpful videos!

[@flutechannel]

Your welcome Hector. Thanks so much for watching!

[@indy4202]

Thank you so much! I was having trouble with the first way. But using the b-flat key was easier to make a sound for me.

[@dawn8674]

Thank you so much for explaining this so clearly and succinctly! Some channels want to take 20 minutes plus!!

[@flutechannel]

Glad it was helpful!

[@cheeslyy6121]

Yay! I’m so happy you made this video. Really helped me think more about being versatile and technical with my flute playing.

Im a drummer and i will to study flute again. I prefer the B Flat with the right hand. Excellent channel, greetings from Brazil!

[@flutechannel]

Thats awesome! I wish you all the best in your new journey. Happy practicing and do let me know if you ever have any questions

[@edelweiss-lotus5697]

Thanks a lot Amélie, as usual. Could you talk about the alternative fingering, like for medium C#, for example? It helped me a lot to keep my flute stable while playing it very quickly after a third octave D. Under stressm the flute may move too much and the sound quality is lost... And in your opinion, when is it accurate to start learning them, in case if...

[@micahandrews8459]

I love watching your videos

[@flutechannel]

Aww thanks Micah! it means the world that your watching! Thanks!

[@christianelouca5031]

I was only using the one which I move the thumb from B to Bb. I tried the 3 ways you showed in the video, the trill key is a little hard. Maybe when I get the flute gels and add them it will be easier. Can you make a video or videos to show us the other notes that have more than 1 fingering? Thanks, God bless you :)

[@flutechannel]

Of course! Great idea

[@donnafranklin7908]

Amelie, can you show the 3rd b flat fingering ( trill key) as its difficult to see/ understand...thank you.

[@amelie.b6747]

I think you unterstand French, so I'm going to say in French, it's easier for me... Je préfère faire celui avec la clé du pouce, même quand il y a des Bb et des B dans le même morceau ou la même phrase, j'arrive assez bien à faire glisser mon pouce... A vrai dire je n'utilisais jamais ceux avec la main droite, jusqu'à ce que mon prof de flûte me dise , très récemment, que dans un morceau que je joue il faut que je fasse avec la main droite... je trouve ça assez difficile, car je n'ai pas l'habitude. C'est assez contre intuitif, car pour la plus part des notes à la flûte, les doigts sont baissés successivement, il y a rarement de doigt levé entre deux doigts baissés (en dehors du petit doigt droit) à part pour le F# et les notes plus aiguës dont j'ai encore du mal à enchaîner les doigtés, du coup j'ai encore du mal à faire le Bb comme ça.

[@leemonroe6526]

Amélie.B You speak French? I'm learning French, do you think you could help me learn?

[@michaellee2731]

Are you using a professional flu or a student model flute

[@flutechannel]

professional flute

[@migarciart]

I wish I could be good at those kind of instruments... I'm good at Piano but I love flute :)

[@flutechannel]

Thats okay! I love piano as much as flute. Both rock! Thanks for watching Min! it means the world to me!

[@migarciart]

The Flute Channel omg so cute, I like your way to explain, your voice looks just so calm, it's relaxing ^^ And Yas u have a Brazilian fan hahahaha

[@emmawilding886]

Min Xiumonster im the complete opposite! I love piano but I just can’t get the hang of it. Flute is my soul instrument.

[@migarciart]

Emma Wilding woah, Ppl with this kind of gift are lucky 😂😆

[@flutechannel]

Wow, we've had like over 100 Brazilian fans tell us this month! We gotta go down there.
