The Flute Channel omg! I can't...stop laughing at 2:12!! 😭😭😭
Hello! Love this channel! I find that when I attempt the high register, the notes sound stuck between the lower octave as well, especially g and I find that my embouchure sort of wavers a bit when I play
J'attend toujours pour les vidéos en français
The Flute Channel I can’t really get the low notes out as well as the higher notes.
😅
imagine having amelie as a flute teacher😍 imagine how amazing you would become
Aww amie thats very nice of you to say! If anyone like yourself ever want lessons. I offer online ones. Plus we have a special group lesson starting up once a month for everyone who wants to be in it for a very modest price. Stay tuned for that announcement video.
The Flute Channel Really???? Omg. I didn’t know!
Where are the online classes
@@flutechannelheyyyy I love ur videos (especially Winter four seasons)🎉❤
OMG, it worked!!!
The high G and its friend the F# are sounding chrystal clear and not like a herd of rats in a drainpipe any more, thanks to your advice, thank you for posting
Glad it helped!
LMFAO
That was funny
hahahaha
I came here to learn how to play a g7 because my lips go so tight together, my lips make a buzz noise 💀
Samee😭
Try play low G & name same lip shape, just play faster air (in an minor for best effect)
6 notes without moving your fingers? I love the flute.
it rocks right!?
After some practice, I can reach that high G on a vintage yamaha 24S. Thanks for the inspiring content!
oh wow thats great! if you ever want a lesson just let me know email me at info at theflutechannel.com
Brass have like a billion different notes with the same fingering
@@brycesusong6307 Me right there I play trumpet But I'm curenty learning flute
omg I can't stop laughing because of 2:12 😂😂
though you might like it! happy to see that!
@@flutechannel aaa
@@ivyhoskins5728 😂😂
Same lmaooo
Lol 😂
Yaaaasss!! Love 2:12!! Lol!!
soooo happy you find it funny! thanks!
Flute goals
My high C always gets me stuck.
With me is the high E
For some reason It never sounds nice
Same here. I can't get my C and C# to a higher octave :(( Idk if its me or my flute ;;;;
Lol I played for 2 years without realizing it was out of tune the whole time
Mine is the high F#... it has made me cry several times lmao ;~;
I've been playing the flute for 5 years and never knew you could play six notes on the low C fingering. Thanks! I'm definitely going to try out some of your techniques.
Happy to help!
U can play infinite theoretically
You can play harmonics on the other fingerings/notes as well, not only on the c1
I really don't know how to play high notes without sounding very LOUD. Could someone please help with that?
@Samara Booth dudeee LOUD IS GREATTTT but yeah, use faster air NOT more
Ive been a flute player for nearly 5 years now
And so basically the more air the louder it becomes, and the faster the air the higher the note
Well when I play high notes I blow straight and firm
Im in marching band, so loud is very good, so idk
i tried it and when i finally got it, i went to my friends house to show off i ended up forgetting how my mouth was formed
my friend was laughing
oh no! Keep practicing and then you'll get it! Sorry to have that happen to you!
That was very helpful. I was able to play the high notes, but was having difficulty with high notes when combined with large intervals. Practicing with harmonics gave a good guide for knowing exactly where to aim. I was a professional bassoonist who started on the flute, but after I quit the bassoon I've been playing my flute again.
Glad it helped!
Helped greatly. I'm an 8th grade flute player, and have been playing for 4 years. Recently I have been having trouble playing high F and G, and I've been freaking out since our concert is in early December. I tried playing the scale you were, where you play the note low, and then high, and it helped me play the notes I needed. Thank you! :)
super glad happy practicing!
I’ve been playing flute for 5 months now, and you’ve really helped me out! Thank you!
Great to hear!
1. Whoever edited the video did a great job. 2. This video also helps anyone who stopped playing the flute for years and wants to start anew (although I can attest in my case that I lost nothing except speed/dexterity).
I've been playing flute for 20 years, but recently got a new flute and can't get anything above high D to work. I'd never known about harmonics but OH MY GOODNESS! Just tried it and this is a game changer. Thank you!
happy to hear jacqueline!
Wow thanks for teaching everyone online you doing great work thanks 🙏👍
Thanks for example explaining how to do easy way less effort & struggle
Amelie, you are in a league if your own. It's always a treat to learn from you. You are my Master teacher
You are amazing! Thank you so much❤
No problem 😊
Excellent!! The breathing tips, relating it to singing and the visualizations were all immensely helpful!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Your channel has deeply impacted my understanding of music and singing as well as flute playing. I fell in love with the flute again and can visualize sound and frequency so much more, thanks to you!!! 🤗🙏😍🥰
Happy that you enjoyed it! Glad to see you back with music playing! Happy practicing!
Beautiful inside and out and so talented, I,m hoping that early 40s wasnt too late to get good on the flute, the high notes have set back a good start. This is inspiring though. Many thanks from Ireland'
I play a bamboo flute and the tip to try blowing in different vowels helped a lot!
I've been playing flute for almost 10 years. 6 notes without changing the fingering. Amazing! 💓
This is a perfect video for learning high notes. Been having issues with it. And this fixed my problem in just minutes .
Really happy it helped! Thanks for watching!
That was super helpful! I did the thing at 0:30 with my low G and it magically turned into a middle register G wtihout any effort! wow!
Glad it helped!
You are a wonderful+ calm teacher. You give me confidence I can find each note
Video starts at 2:12
Alessandro Ugarte no
Just no
I fell for it
Amlie, your channel is fantastic. You have answers to everything and, most importantly, those answers do work. I am long time multi-instrumentalist (means, I know where and how to start properly), so I decided to teach Flute to myself completely from scratch all alone. No, it isn't hard at all. It just like any other instrument: patience, practice and practice again. And patience. :-) You helped me for low register (mine is B-Foot, and I sounded like a teapot). Now you helped me with high register, where I sounded like a steam engine. Now I went through all chromatic diapason of the entire Flute and it does work! I still have to remove some air, equalise tone etc. But hey, it was just few days in total as I started. So I am totally fan of you. :-) Keep teaching Flute as your way is totally cool with no bulls***t! Love you.
A pleasure Bo, happy to be of help. All the best and happy practicing!
had a test in band on the C scale. after this, i was able to play high C easily. thank you so much, i love your channel.
That's great!
Super vidéo, c'est ça quand tu fais un avec ton instrument. Tu es incroyable. ça fait 25 ans que je joue mais je n'arrive pas à dépasser la 3ème octave. La théorie m'aide à comprendre sur quoi travailler. Merci!!!
I tried today this advice, and I was surprised how easy was for me to play the high notes. Thanks!
I WASNT READY FOR FLUTE LIFE! Girl, you're awesome!
My pleasure!
Omg when you did that “ you know the singers they go eeeeaaaahh”. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
YUP!
This helped me alot. I am learning to play the flute and I am having troubles getting the upper register clear. Thank you for this video
2:12 honestly this is the best youtuber that plays a flute lol. I play my flute everyday. Omg you’re so funny I LOVE YOU
aww thanks!
This was the first vid that actually helped me break into the higher register for the first time, thanks!
no problem! happy practicing!
Playing those high notes have become second nature to me now. And it's thanks to you!
awww ! Im so happy about that! Keep up the great work and soon will have even more tips to take those high notes to a whole new level!
Really? I can't wait! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. I'm just starting to learn the flute and was having troubles with high register notes. Didn't quite understand harmonics on the flute until your demonstration with low C. After about an hour of working on harmonics, I went back to try D-E-F in upper register and, sure enough, it happened with little effort and no straining of my face.
That makes me so happy to hear! keep that up, there are even more things you can do and will have new videos coming up soon that will make playing flute so much easier! talk soon and dont be shy if you have more questions or comments.
I love the way you explain how to play the upper register. I play alto sax and I reach a flute student who is having troubles in the upper register. This video helps, I will use it in my class. I did not know you could get the overtone series in flute. Also, your explanation of the use of vowels and the egg is what I use for my sax students. Thanks
Glad it was helpful Larry!
I love the way you visualise your thoughts on how to teach a certain technique :) Thank you for your videos! :) 🌷
Such pure tone you make. Wow.
Aww thank lucy! You can do it too! If you ever have any questions or comments just let me know!
Yet another fantastic vid ! Lots of golden tips, extremely helpful, even though it's NOT easy to make acceptable high register notes for a self-taught adult learner. Merci beaucoup Amélie et longue vie à TFC ;)
I had my second flute lesson, and I am not able to hit the higher notes yet but I keep trying. I enjoy watching your videos on technique they are very helpful in
Happy I could help Mark! Happy practicing!
Keep the note under you and ride the note. Thank you so much for the breathing tip!
Wow thank you so much! I've been playing for 2 years and your videos help me so much
So glad I could help Artemis! Be sure to keep watching and practicing!
Thank you soooo much!!! This helped a lot I've been playing for 3 years and my high notes just started to not come out but this helped a lot thank you!!!
my pleasure Gracie!
i am so so so so grateful for your video
this helped me to learn how to play higher notes on my dizi flute
thank you very very much
i am your humble and grateful subscriber for now on
I like how serious you are while explaining and funny at the sametime 😅😅
Thanks Jason!
Omg this helped me so much! My band director isn’t very good at helping with this type of stuff and I have a hard time reaching my high Eb and high F. You’ve made it really easy to understand and now I can hit the Eb with ease and sometimes the F! Thank you
Happy to help! Happy practicing!
What you playing i playing the flute
Hanaha Morgan
This really helped me! I'm self teaching and never knew to tense my abs, so thank you for that
my pleasure, glad i could help! always feel free to come back if you have any questions
Thank you for your assistance
This video helped me so much! It was much easier to reach the high notes and it sounded heaps better too ♥️
Glad it helped!
excellent teacher
Thank you! 😃
Great insight. The way our playing... somehow... translates itself into physical visualisation. It's a real kyneshetic thing.
Thank you for the video, very useful
Glad it was helpful!
you are amazing! Love the visuals (focusing down vs up. and the egg in the back of the mouth)
Really happy to help Paula! Wishing you all the best and happy practicing!
Semplicemente fantastica! Congratulazioni per il tuo lavoro! Grazie 🙏
omigod 2:12 😂 love these tips BTW , this will help me for my band concert! Subbed and liked!!!!
YAY Were so happy it could help! let me know how the concert goes! What pieces are you playing in band.
The Flute Channel , oh I play the flute 😃 too , it's on Thursday and I'll let you know :)
thanks for the tip. I managed to get all of them easily, now try to reach one more just for the challenge.
I’m just started to learn 3rd octave and this video helped me so much💕
So glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
0:28 sounds like the start of the intro to the old show 'Home Improvement' lol
The advice at 3:20 was totally helpful!!!
i feel like sometimes i try to make my aperture hole way too small and my lips vibrate(??) and it just ends up sounding horrible and i have absolutely no idea how to fix that lol but i’m trying
open your teeth! when your lips buzz, think about opening your mouth a bit and that gets rid of the brass buzz and helps get the note out.
Also, relax your jaw
Thank you for the tip on practicing with harmonics. That is really helpful. I am only starting back after a very long break. Had my flute cleaned and overhauled (not a lot needed doing as she only had me as one careful lady owner :) ) and I am chuffed how much I remember :) even though I do not sound great I enjoy the rediscovery. I practice the harmonics and hopefully my high register will improve :)
Glad it was helpful!
This helped a lot, thanks!
So simple - and works fantastic (on the Bansuri btw.)! Thank you very, very much!
Great to hear!
I feel so inspired! I am learning the flute and hope to sound as high as you! 😊
Very impressive that I can play the high G and not the low one 😎 I’m not gonna stress, I’m learning
She’s so funny I love her channel
Aww thanks so much!

You're very welcome!
Thank you this was very helpful💜. I have been playing for four years on the flute and the higher register has been more uncomfortable than the lower register for me. With these tips my higher register will improve
Best of luck Celeste! Happy practicing!
Thank you!

Hockey jokes I love it, 2:42! Thanks so much my lesson teacher kept criticizing me on my high notes and I did this for awhile went back to class and he said I improved so much!
So happy I could help! Happy practicing!
Thank you! It worked 😲 WoW amazing !! 🔥
Welcome 👍
Hello I loved your video very helpful I am experiencing an airy sound with some of my high register notes.
sorry for the late reply! Isolate those high notes and play them longer (not louder) than usual and listen. make them a tiny exercise and work on it. Let us know how it goes. Keep that air fast and concentrated will help.
Thank you very much for the video, your demonstration is very helpful for the beginner level players like me. My middle register sound is airy, i hope i can solve it. I will keep practising!
I hope you can too! Let us now in a few weeks how it goes. Thanks for watching! Were always here to ask any questions you have.
this helped me out so much!! thank you
Its a pleasure! So happy it helped!
Great tips warm smiles and funny explanations, Thanks!
thanks your so nice! If you ever have questions let me know.
The Flute Channel Thanks Marina, I have been learning flûte for 8 months, my right pinky always gets stiff. I tried to correct this by paying special attention to my pinky, but it didn't help much. Really appreciate you videos because you put so much effort into explaining important basic flûte knowledges. Thanks!
will be doing a video about the pinky finger and flute playing soon so subscribe and keep an eye out for that!
Wahaha the you see me rollin part was funny!
Happy you like it!
Thank you! This helps me so much I stopped flute lessons a few years ago cuz i didnt have enough money and time, but im planning to audition for first chair at my school this year (ive always been stuck at 2nd throughout). Im preparing with channel tho! ;)
Super glad to hear! Have fun auditioning and happy practicing!
Thank you!! This helps me very much!
My pleasure Helga.
You're so beautiful and talented! And I love your videos so much!!!!
Aww thanks Angel! Thanks so much for watching! Hope to hear from you again in the comments!
Really useful practices love it
Glad I could help!
Wonderful. Helpful. Encouraging and entertaining.
I have been practicing my high notes and felt I was making good progress. Rather than blowing harder, I worked on using the lips. Today nothing is working 😭 my low register sounds nice, I cannot get any high register at all 😭😭 And I don’t know what I’m doing wrong
Very very helpful video. The visualization part actually makes sense because when I tried to take my first high note I got all tense in my body and almost stepped on my toes because I wanted it so badly. You need to remain your calm I guess :D I'm going to try this out tomorrow because I have a hard time getting my high tones.
Totally, no need to be all tense. It can be achieved with calm collective practice. Don't be discouraged. I do hope it gets better. Let me know in a couple days how it goes. Thanks again for watching it means so much!
I'll do that and I will not get discouraged! I have not been this passionate about something for a long time and I have made huge progress in just 5 days I've played.
Thats tremendous news!
The Flute Channel It's been almost a week and I've been practicing on the high notes. I can tell that I have improved. I couldn't even play them 6 days ago but now I can! (Kind of) it's still inconsistent and the top 2 holes are very difficult. They are just too high and I can't get the right tone just yet. It feels like I'm getting the hang of it though.
Thats awesome! Makes me so happy! Keep it up! Thanks for keeping me in the loop
