• How To Play The Note C...
id like to thank these floating hands for teaching me how to play flute
haha, you're very welcome for the 'floating' hands comment. That's one of my students playing and talking here. I'll thank her for you. :) Rebecca
Now that you say that it looks like floating hands to me now
I didn't know how to play low C at first. Thank you so much!
I'm so glad I could help. If you need any more help don't forget to check out my courses at learnfluteonline.com for beginner to advanced flute lessons! - Rebecca | LFO
This is a good tutorial- but I came for the hard one- the fourth 8ve, top C!
duyver101 No problem. The video for the 4th octave C is at this url: czcams.com/video/pUsOapjz8uA/video.html
Love your hair! I just needed a C natural to check my tuner. Thanks, Paul
Rebbeca thank you and may God bless you real good!
This applies to the Tenor Flute as well (used to be called Bass Flute) but it'll come out an Octave down cause it's just twice the length. There are versions w/ a Low B foot joint which have a Gizmo key to improve the intonation. I even saw a Flute w/ a Low B flat foot joint & another one w/ a Low G foot.
So cool! I love all of the different flutes. They all have a unique and beautiful sound. :) Rebecca

Thank you so much for this playlist. It is still helpful, I still have it in my book, but it's easier when someone is explaining it! -Isabell
+Cutehamster lover910 I agree - everything is easier when you have a live person showing and explaining. :)
OMG THATS THE EXACT SAME WITH ME MY SISTER IS REFERENCING ME THE NOTE ON THE PIANO AND I HAVE THE FINGERING IN THE BOOK BUT THIS IS THE ONLY THING THAT TRULY HELPED
thank you !
every time I tried to do the low c, I can't produce any sound...*sigh*
I replied to your last comment, but one more thing you should check is that your right hand ring finger isn't accidentally moving and touching another key (like the trill key) when you are trying to play this low C. Does that help?
My previous reply says: "Yes, that low C is definitely a tricky one! I don't suggest bothering worrying about it until you're more advanced than a new beginner. There's a lot to learn to make that note great. Come to LearnFluteOnline.com and take the lessons in perfect learning order. Step-by-step and super good! Hope to see you soon. :) Rebecca"
Me too, it sounds like me barely playing it with like a sound telling me to STOP PLAYING THE FLUTE!😒😑😬😂
@@lamyagibson4123 I've only been playing for a few years and only just mastered low c so I am in no way an expert, however I've found that when I play, I relax my embouchure and it really seems to help. Like Rebecca said, don't worry about it too much
Evelynn Carlson, Thank you I will try it out
thanks you re the greatest!! i just played my first c note
Great job! Keep up the good work and have fun! - Rebecca | learnfluteonline.com
I appreciate it. Im learning music and play on my tin whistle. When I go to play on my flute the same songs the c natural is next to the high doe and sounds off.Maybe your video will help me solve this. Great video and kudos to you
Thank you I'm happy to help! Best of luck to you! - Rebecca | learnfluteonline.com
Omg thanks so much! I can now get low c to come out!
+Briana Gonzalez Your welcome! I'm so glad that this video has helped you. Don't forget to come over to my website learnfluteonline.com because I have hundreds and hundreds of videos to help your flute playing skills improve even more. :) Rebecca
hey rebecca, great lesson! thanks! anyway, is low c supposed to be more difficult to play (for beginner)? I can make sound on low C note, but it is really hard to produce stable sound on that C4...well i just started playing for 1 day though...
Great question here. Actually, that low C IS actually one of the trickiest notes on the flute... We need a lot of other skills first before we can really be consistent. Good job for your first day! See you again soon. :) ~Rebecca
How do u play c2
@@LearnFluteOnline OH THANK GOODNESS
I was relatively good at most of the notes so far but that low C was making my anxiety go up because I couldn’t keep a consistent sound
On the foot of my flute, I only have two pedals and one roller bar, does it make a large difference and also Is playing the low C the same fingerings? Thank you
Hi Amy, great questions here. Your flute is a student model with the Low C. Mine is an professional line flute with a Low B. But they play just the same. You can just use the low C (without worrying about the extra keys I have). :) ~Rebecca
Ah thank you, it makes a lot more sense now - many Thanks :)
thxs
+Lauren Johnson You're welcome! :)
I have problem of moving the left thumb, when you have to press it down then not pressing it, makes my pinky carry the weigh and it hurts a lot :( idk of that makes sense
Hi Karen, hmmm. I'm glad you mentioned this. I think you can benefit from this video: learnfluteonline.com/how-to-hold-the-flute/ - don't forget to sign up for more lessons while you're there. See you soon! Rebecca
How come when I play the low c, the c is higher than yours? Is it because my head joint is shorter, because I blow warm slow air and yet the note isn't low like yours.
+Bubblezishere Try keeping your head joint nice and level instead of tipped - I'm guessing you are catching your air stream on the edge way too much and so it's coming out an octave higher. Keep your body straight and your head joint level... it'll help a ton. Good luck! Rebecca
+Rebecca Fuller thank you! Yeah I've been practicing a lot on it, and I've gotten used to playing thank you so much! It really helped
How do you play c2 and a d2
On the flute, the lowest C (first octave C) is the same as middle C on piano. The second octave C is the fingering you see in this video (Left hand First Finger and Right Hand Pinky). Does this help? Second octave D is on this video: czcams.com/video/3s6-ibG5WLY/video.html Have fun! Let me know if you have more questions. :) -Rebecca
Do you have one for the c harmonic scale
Having problems with my finger positions
Perhaps you mean the C minor harmonic scale? The notes are: C D Eb F G Ab B C - Clarify and let me know so I can help you out. The flute is great, glad you're playing. I invite you to come learn more in an easy step-by-step manner in the Member's area at LearnFluteOnline.com - Rebecca
On the second one when I put my pinky down it doesn’t change the sound could there be a problem with the pads
Hi! You won't hear the difference with the pinky on.. use it anyway. (there are reasons) - great question! -Rebecca
Rebecca Fuller hey thank you
Hi, teacher Rebecca. I just have concern about my flute. My flute only has 2 circular key on the foot joint and whenever I pressed the rectangular key, only 1 key is pressed down. Thats why its hard for me to play the low C. Can you help me please? thank you 😊
Hi Kyera - no worries. Your flute has a C foot, which is just fine (and normal). You need to move your pinky over to the Db key (rectangular key) and then press the roller bar as well. BOTH at the same time. This will give you the low C you're looking for (along with the other fingerings). -Good luck! Rebecca
Rebecca Fuller Yeep it works! THANK YOU SO MUCH! 😊❤️
i cant play the natural C T_T ive tried the low-pitch embochure and it doesnt really help, i need to play from a higher note and go down gradually to at least make a one second sound on C
+Kawaii Rin Yah, there's a recipe to really being able to get it out right. Come on over to learnfluteonline.com and follow the videos in step-by-step order. You'll be able to do it no problem.
i can't in the low C section
Very very good (((>:
I've been playing flute for like 2 years and I still can't get that low c without having to repeat trying to drop from low d to it RIP me
+Deli Madi Possibly your flute isn't in the best technical shape? Come over to learnfluteonline.com and take the lesson series I have there - it'll get you in the right shape to play all of the notes with no problem. :) Rebecca
Thanks, I'll check it out tomorrow and I'll tell you if I can fix the issue
My D sounds almost exactly like the C
B Sharp is another name for this note.
Yep! We rarely see B# in our flute music though. But, it can definitely happen. :) Rebecca
@@LearnFluteOnline Either way all the same note
@@LearnFluteOnline I often see a B# in something like Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.
I just need to know how to play the 4th octave C I know the other ones but I need to learn the 4th because my final exams i play my C scale 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Hi Madison, I'm glad you found my other video on how to play the fourth octave C. Best of luck. -Rebecca
i only have one rollerbar...
No worries - one roller bar is enough to play the C. You need 2 roller bars to get the B (not necessary or required). Let me know if you have any more questions - good luck on the note! - Rebecca | Learn Flute Online

This is very Hard to play E
You can do it! Just keep practicing ~Rebecca
Why is it that I try and play middle c but I play a C sharp...
’m sorry you were having troubles with your notes. You can check two things: 1. The key next to your C key (left hand first finger) should be going down at the same time you press the C key. If it isn’t, then you probably have popped a spring. And 2. Is it possible that you are just super out of tune? It’s really common to be really sharp in pitch when you are kind of new. Try pulling your head joint out about a half an inch and see if this sounds better. Good luck! Let us know how it goes. :) ~Rebecca
Hi
Hi! Happy you're here on this video. I hope you found it helpful. -Rebecca
💗👌
Everyone is saying the low C is the hardest one but that was the easiest I just can't get the high C!
No worries Sophia, you can do this! Great job getting down that low C. Remember that depending on what octave you're in, the fingerings may be different. For example, here is a video demonstrating a 4th Octave C: czcams.com/video/pUsOapjz8uA/video.html. I hope that this helps, keep up the good work! - Rebecca | learnfluteonline.com
@@LearnFluteOnline Thanks!
I can't play the low c I've been learning it for like hours now😭
Im still a beginner
No worries! Learning to play the flute can be tricky. You just have to have a lot of patience and practice practice practice! If you are still in the beginner stage, perhaps it would be best to start on a video like this one: czcams.com/video/KHWsi3HxKEI/video.html.
Once you've got the hang of making a clear sound, you can move onto notes like the C natural! You've got this. Good luck! - Rebecca
@@LearnFluteOnline thanks to your tutorials i can finally able doing it little by little!!💖
Anyone who was wondering fourth octave c is 1 2 3 4 and left pinky
4th octave C is: 123P | 100 (use your gizmo key if you have one with your right hand pinky)
😅
These high c fingering are not totally correct in my oppinion. For flutes with a low c footjoint, the low c keys are supposed to be down too 123 pinky 1 low c. For a low b foot with gizmo it should be 123 pinky 123 gizmo. The gizmo key does nothing unless the right hand 123 are down as well. It helps lower the pitch....
Hi Kenny, thanks for the comment on this video about playing the note C natural on the flute. I've been able to use the right hand 123 fingers to help lower the C sharp, but never used them for the C natural. I've found using aperture/embouchure good technique pulls the C's right in tune. Glad you're having luck. Yes, the gizmo is only used for the 4th octave C. Have fun with your flute! :) -Rebecca
I put my comment on the wrong video. The fingering I am referring to are for 4th octave C.... Sorry
Drjuy
The C is loud as crap
