🎶 I’m Jane Cavanagh, owner of The Flute Academy and I show flute players how to get faster progress by learning the adjustments of proper technique!
In The Flute Academy, adult amateur flutists from all over the world come and join me to transform their flute playing.
They learn: 🎵 The power of proper flute technique in The 5 Day Breakthrough. 🎵 Step by step transformational exercises in The 45 Day Flute Transformation. 🎵 Superhuman breathing, strong tone, faster fingers, easy high notes, & more!
On this channel you’ll see super clear demonstrations, but more importantly, you’ll learn WHY the technique works so well.
And in case you’re wondering, I've been playing and teaching the flute professionally for 25+ years, and have transformed the playing of beginners, amateurs, college-level flute majors and the playing of other professional flutists.

Thank you! I bought a flute in the flea market, hoping to embark on a new instrument journey and this low C drove me crazy! thanks to you, I now know it was my pinky! I have gone through a few videos and already googled who can fix a flute in my town :-) I can play it now!
Yep great guesses! 😀 Here are the answers! The pieces in this video are: 1. Bluey theme song 2. Peppa Pig theme song 3. Dora the Explorer song 4. Paw Patrol
I erroneously 'jumped' to the conclusion that Tie me kangaroo down, sport would be played before even listening. In the Danish translation it's a children's song with a quite different text. First verse goes like this, roughly translated: When I came to Australia, I got on TV, and I got a kangoroo, as a price for that, everybody yelled: Stop the little kangoroo, before it jumps again, stop the little kangoroo before it jumps again. Secong verse: it jumped over a flag pole, poor me went along, everyone sang my anthem, as I tumbled away. Everybody sang: Stop the little kangoroo...etc. (No rhyme in my translation and four more verses to go).
I knew no 2 in an instant because I'm sort of from the stone age. No 4 is also known and heard about a million times but I can't pin it down to a specific cartoon :-( Great playing and great fun 🙂
The B scale, starting from the low B, then ascending. It's like a "bring it on" moment. Maybe, F# next. I already play keyboards so I like to challenge myself by learning, I know it may sound crazy😳, harder things first and muscle my brain through it.🦾. By the way, 👍😎, teach!!!😮
If you have neck pai 0:14 n, You are not made for play this instrument but more and more people are starting to play vertically, in order to avoid physical problems, such as tendinitis or neck pain.. .if you want to avoid these problems: contact me....
Hi ! I have a question, the lip plate have to be under the lips, like laid ? because I have pretty big lips and I don't know if I can just touch the lip plate with my lips without actually laid it under the lips
Definitely check out my blog post on playing the flute with thicker lips. Here's the link. 😀www.flute.school/blog/can-you-play-the-flute-with-thick-lips
By the way, have yet to find out the specifics of this andante movement. After looking and listening on Spotify it turnes out that there are maaaaany. It’s not the one made famous by J Galway in hos day.
Hi! Thanks for great content on all kinds of flute related issues! I get the huge benefit from creating a consistent neuromuscular activation and motor pattern. I’ve been playing this Kuhlau Andante piece in b-major. At the end it has this slurred ornamentation of sixteenth notes with the number 6 marked underneath. It’s D-Eflat-D-C-D and then ending with eigth notes starting off with an F. Now, what if this was an allegretto movement? Sincerely, Siegfried
This video is 8 years old but it saved me, my god... I had been trying to play high notes on the dizi for WEEKS now and I was finally able to do it! Thank you so much!!!
Question, what about the finger? It's the same as anormal flute, or it's different? You only need to work on the embouchure for the lower notes or what else? Thanks for sharing, best regards!

That's good your flute recently had a service! They can warp out of place when not used over a long period of time so that's great you got yours replaced. 😀
