Hi Jayden, E natural and E flat are two different notes, they are a half step apart and require different fingerings to play the notes correctly. Are you wondering how these notes are different or how the fingerings are different as you play these notes on your flute?

@@LearnFluteOnline Yes, I am hoping to get a head start on fingerings for band this year. Sorry if i came off as a little rude

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

Hi! Those upper octave notes are tricky. Without actually seeing you try to play this note, it's difficult for me to diagnose what the problem is. Do you have a hard time playing the 3rd octave E or G as well? Or is it only the 3rd octave F? -Rebecca

@@LearnFluteOnline I have same problem with 3rd octave G, I've been able to get the 3rd octave E out but still very airy

Hi! I provide the sheet music for this piece on my membership website, along with tutorial videos on how to play it. Hop on over and take a look at learnfluteonline.com -Rebecca

Hi! I'm so glad you enjoyed this video and found it helpful. Please send me an email at Rebecca@learnfluteonline.com I would love to help you get started in the intermediate lessons right away so I can help you fix your practicing problems and give you a little more guidance so you can continue to progress in your flute playing. To answer your question about q-tips, yes you can use them anywhere as long as you are careful to not mess up the tiny springs and mechanism around the keys. I also always caution students to never try and clean their flute pads (under the keys) with a q-tip or cloth or anything similar. Flute pads are much too sensitive for those items. Hope to hear from you soon! -Rebecca

@@LearnFluteOnline Email sent! Thanks so much!

Thank you so much Scott! I love his music as well. -Rebecca

This is the concert flute :) -Rebecca

You're welcome! Haha and thanks :) -Rebecca

It's called Norwegian Wood, a beautiful piece. I teach it on my website LearnFluteOnline.com if you're interested in learning it. Hope to see you there soon! -Rebecca

Thank you so much! How could I forget this Beatles song? I’ll be definitely checking that piece out ❤

Thank you so much! -Rebecca

Sweet! A student flute is perfect for learning how to play the flute. -Rebecca

Hi Anna, this video has the best tips and tricks to playing the flute with braces. It sounds like the tightening of your lips/embouchure is a separate problem, unrelated to the braces. I have taught many students who originated in band and have struggled with a tense mouth and stiffness. This really effects tone and is difficult to reverse. You really have to be aware of yourself when it's happening and slowly unlearn the whole process. I would love to help you with this process more, check out my website at LearnFluteOnline.com and get started today. I'll help you :) -Rebecca

I'm so glad you were able to identify your leak! Way to go. -Rebecca

Yay! I'm so happy to hear that this video helped you and that your flute is back to playing like normal. Happy Fluting! -Rebecca

You're welcome! I hope this video has helped you. -Rebecca

Haha you're so sweet. But yes I am very happily married. -Rebecca

You're welcome! I'm glad you found this video helpful. I usually tell my students that the first week of getting braces you will be very sore and may not want to try and play your flute. However, you definitely can! Best of luck! -Rebecca

@@LearnFluteOnline thank you very much!❤️❤️❤️

You're right! Good work. -Rebecca

Hi Glenn, thank you! I'm glad you liked it. -Rebecca

Hi yes, I did edit this video. All my students send in their own videos. I use Screenflow as a video software and it does get tricky when working with so many videos. I just love the result, so we make it work. -Rebecca

I'm sorry you are having troubles with you flute. If the leak is in the barrel instead of in the keys of your flute you will definitely need to take your flute to a technician to have it repaired. Best of luck! -Rebecca

Thank you!

Hi Paul, I'm so glad you enjoyed this video, thank you for your kind comment. -Rebecca

It is tricky to move to making a sound on your entire flute at the beginning. Spend some time looking in the mirror as you play and make a sound on your headjoint. Then put the whole flute together and watch yourself again. Can you notice any differences? My guess is that your lip is not in the same place or your air stream is not blowing in the same direction exactly. Best of luck! -Rebecca

Hi Beth, I have many videos here on my CZcams Channel that teach the specific fingering for notes on the flute. Here is one video for example: czcams.com/video/xN5Z8edo4HI/video.html If you're looking for more flute instruction take a look at my website LearnFluteOnline.com where I have hundreds of learning videos and more! -Rebecca

Hi, great question! Circular breathing is an advanced but very cool technique to elevate playing. It is difficult for flutists, and is more common in brass instruments such as trumpet and french horn. However it is definitely possible! -Rebecca

Hi Alyse, I'm so glad this video helped you! Making that first sound on flute is definitely essential to beginning learning. Happy fluting! -Rebecca

Hi Beth, I'm glad you found this video and I hope it helped give you the refresher you were looking for. If you'd like more instruction and flute tips, check out my website for lots more info! (learnfluteonline.com) Hope to see you there soon. -Rebecca
