What are your tips for playing up and down the flute? Do you like high notes more than low notes or the other way around? Let me know in the comments and see you in the comments!

I like all the notes equally, along with your suggestion for abdominal support techniques I sometimes adjust for intonation by rolling in & out (depending on the flute)

I actually do the exact opposite. Feeling the high note deep in my belly and going a bit up whem playing low notes, but actually the best tip is not that its what vocals you form in your mouth. "O" for low register, "u/ü" (german pronounciation) for middle register and "wü" for high register. Always having the feeling the centre of everything is in the lower part of the belly as if I am placing my hand there with thumb on the belly button.

@@WayneMemphisMojo rolling in and out should not be your main method for correcting intonation problems. That's not flexible when playing fast passages.

I started with an Eastar basic inexpensive flute in January and am picking it up quickly thanks to your encouragement. As a musician of riper years with a large library of printed music, I am already very familiar with reading and interpreting music notation, etc. so it is mostly a matter of practice and learning the peculiar techniques and fingerings of the instrument. As to the point of this video, I find from my youthful brass player (tuba) experience, embrasure matters. Tighter corners and smaller opening at the center of the lips for high register and the opposite for low. By narrowing the opening, one increases the speed of the air stream and contrary-wise. Think of the size of the mouth openings of high pitched pipes and low pitched pipes on the pipe organ. As you point out, one must also increase or decrease pressure from the diaphragm to affect the speed of the airstream. The high notes get harder at the end of a long practice session because I can't clamp the corners of my mouth enough owing to fatigue. Obviously you as an expert know this intuitively, but thought I might offer my experiences.

Good tip. I miss my flute, wish I would have never sold it, so many years ago. I bet your husband fell in love with you the first time he saw you practice that. Haha. Have you guys already done a video of the two of you playing together? If not, have you thought about it? No doubt that I am not the only one that would love to see/hear it.

i can play every note but i’ve been trying the low Do for the past weeks with absolutely 0 success or progress. i’ve realized i have to breathe differently from a Si to a Mi, i get to the Re and when i try the Do (without changing anything except for slight changes in breathing to try to get it right) it just sounds like air. there is absolutely no way to get the flute to ‘vibrate’ which is usually how i know i hit the nite right. do you think you can help? have a wonderful day 🌍✨

Next time you get a chance have another flute player try your flute and see if they can get it. If they can, I would really try blowing more directly into the flute and with more warm air. Open up your embouchure.
