when i was 13yrs young, i joiedn the school band bcoz i wanted to learn to play flute...but ....they freaking force a clarinet on me and told me that boys dont play flute.....now i am near my 50s....i saw your videos and bought a cheap flute to fulfill my lost dream of learning to play a flute....
@@LanceSuzuki Dear Lance, thank you for your encouragements and great videos.I am trying my best on the new arrived beginner flute this few days, but i have queries, for certain fingering i dont know am i getting the right tone as sometimes the tone is low sounding and sometimes it sounds 1 octave higher on the same fingering. example is the fingering for f#...i am confused...
That’s totally normal. Many notes (E through C#) have the same fingerings in first and second octaves. Part of learning the flute is figuring out how to get the correct octave to speak.
@@LanceSuzuki Thank you very much for clearing up my confusion. Keep the video coming, i feel your videos are really helpful and i look forward to watch them. thank you again.
I had the same thing happen to me but I was sent to the French horn section and carried something bigger than me for 6 years. I am 60 years young and finally learning the flute.
So glad I found you, I'm having so much fun! I played the flute in elementary school for a few months and now decades later I have such a passion to play, especially for the Lord. Thank you so much!!
Super excited to have a flute in my hands. My first flute song was hot cross buns, haha. That was over 20 years ago, though. It's been a while. This is awesome!
Thank you for these awesome videos!! They are a great help this is my second day of playing flute and my parents are very impressed at how good I am doing. Thank you so much!
Oh my ! This is the first video that gave me exactly what I needed in a way I could understand and retain you are a wonderful teacher thank you for sharing your knowledge and teaching skills
Thanks so much! It’s wonderful that you are coming back to the flute and I wish you all the best. Please let me know if there are any other topics you are interested in.
thank you very much for these clear and easy-going lessons! Are these lessons going to continue? I really want to practice a little bit harder :) please upload :D
Hi thanks for these informative videos.I have been playing sax for 2-3 years now I have added a flute .My question is playing flute will affect my sax playing in a bad way or not ?thank you
It definitely takes more air to get the low notes to resonate. At this stage, don't worry too much about airy sound. Focus instead on resonance and make sure the tube of your flute is vibrating.
@@samwilson5544 probably due to a tight or smiley embouchure. at first i thought my flute may even be broken but after loosening up and fixing my flutes position they started coming out much easier
I'm over here rehashing the basics. I picked up a new flute after not playing for 25 years, I'm forcing myself to do start at the beginning but it's so hard not to break out Vivaldi, lol!

Any tips for the right pinky? My hand tends to cramp when I press the right pinky into the key. Since you have to press it for almost every note
TYSM

Hi thanks for these informative videos.I have been playing sax for 2-3 years now I have added a flute .My question is playing flute will affect my sax playing in a bad way or not ?thank you
four does not work on my flute?
Why does my position 3 and 4 sound like the same note?
I've done all 6 lessons - are there any more?
hi when playing the low note it seems like it takes up more air and it will sound airy. Any tips or recommendations please?
It definitely takes more air to get the low notes to resonate. At this stage, don't worry too much about airy sound. Focus instead on resonance and make sure the tube of your flute is vibrating.
But why is it when I play the notes, they are one semitone higher? 😢
Is your headjoint pushed in all the way?
134^*♡
Hi, I enjoyed your video.That's great. Thank you😇🤣🥰
👍👍
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
🙏
Why can't I play note 3?
Just saying that on the cover of the video it says "flute lesson 6", though it'sflute lesson 5.
Also, I love this because I'm learning the flute in school!
My Note is high but sounds good but i cant get the low notes hehehe anyway it helps me a lot
Same here. The high notes sound okay but the low ones are very faint. Did you ever figure out why?
@@samwilson5544 probably due to a tight or smiley embouchure. at first i thought my flute may even be broken but after loosening up and fixing my flutes position they started coming out much easier
7:46 Me, hehehehe! 🤭
LOL. Keep that air moving! Thanks for watching!
Oh look! Beginner flute series…
