    I was legit about to give up all hope and quit band but then I came across his lessons and I did everything correctly within 3 try’s. He is a great teacher

    My parents don't believe I can do it. They think it is a waste of money especially since I also play clarinet, oboe, saxophone, piano and guitar. So they won't give me lessons. Thank you soo sooo much!!!!! I am actually getting it. I love music and you have helped me to believe I might actually prove my parents wrong!!!!

    @IsabellaBegreen Před 7 lety +4

    Thank you :D I started with 10 years and made an eternally long break. Now
    I've got a flute again and would like to play it again, but especially
    the H and the D has made me so difficult, but now I watch your videos
    again and again and it folds again, now only the regular exercise is
    missing as you always say :D

  • @ashleyconnor8197
    @ashleyconnor8197 Před 7 lety +42

    If you've checked everything and it's still not working, press your fingers down as hard as you can and blow because if the slightest bit of air can cause a problem. :)

  • @thotdestroyer4j164
    @thotdestroyer4j164 Před 6 lety +8

    I can't figure this out! When I'm blowing into just the head joint, my embouchure sounds fine, but whenever I add the rest of the flute, the only sound it makes is the sound of air going into the flute! Help! I've tried directing my air differently and everything.

    So I'm at a bit of a loss here. I only started recently and so far, your lessons have been super helpful.
    But for some reason, I can't get the D working. I can get a nice, clear sound out of it when pressing all the home keys safe for the pinkies, but as soon as I let go of the first one, it's just air. Any advice on that?

    I have been playing 3rd octave D the same as 2nd octave for 8 years and I just found out when I recently changed schools that it's actually different. I took out a tuner and they sound almost identical. Do you think it's ok for me to play it like 2nd octave D since it is easier for me? I tried changing over but it's really confusing me! Please reply!!!

  • @LaurentLaborde
    @LaurentLaborde Před 8 lety +1

    woaaa ! MP ! Got my flute today. Fingering is ok. But couldn't produce a stable sound. For some reason i was trying the lowest notes first and was usually in overtone (i think it the right word). The D is much easier, but with the MP ? Pfffffft easy :D ! I have a question : can a dirt cheap flute (140€, brand new from factory) be a disadvantage to produce good note or is it just poor quality that will break in a few month ?

    I am in fifth grade and in fifth and six grade, we get a choice of band or orchestra. I picked the flute in band but I can't make a sound yet even though my band teacher says I can watch your video to start my first note. I don't know if this is the problem, but noticed that your flute has holes on the keys. Does that really matter?

  • @rainthebudgie4313

I've played the trumpet for 5 years but I've always wanted to learn to play flute. I don't know if there might be something wrong with the flute I have. The keys seem to work. Please help!!

  • @sleepmode8116
    @sleepmode8116 Před 6 lety

    i'm playing on a really old flute my grandpa found in the trash (in a case) but it was super tarnished and metallic smelling. I cleaned the outside with a polishing cloth but i couldn't get the inside. I can make a sound like yours with the mouth piece alone but when I try to play a d or anything else it sounds really "woody" (is that only a sax term lol?) and not clear at all. I am wondering if it improves the sound of the flute if I try to clean the inside or if there could be a problem with my pads? I sat here trying to made the D sound loud and clear for an hour with no luck and I don't know if it's me or this old flute. :S

I've been staying in for my outside time and I really want to be out with my friends so I really want to learn. My music teacher sent me a few tutoring places and my parents signed up for one but they keep canceling on us because they are high school students. Any suggestions?
