my first time learning a wind instrument !! i have been tooting since october so actually more like seven months but half a year sounds like such a nicer amount of time...
hiii! i'm gonna be a sophomore in highschool, i've been playing flute since 6th grade. for playing for 6 months you sound great and you've come so far! i have a friend i've been teaching and she's been playing since around october-september too! happy practicing
I have been playing the flute for 72 years and it is truly a life skill! Get so much enjoyment from it and especially playing in my praise team at church! Love it and keep going great for the lungs and particularly those that have asthma!blessings!
thank you so much for your comment !! I’m so happy to hear that you have got so much from the instrument, I hope to keep playing the flute for many years too :) 🥰 have a great day !
I'm saving money to buy a flute and start learning, this kind of videos are so inspiring and make me want to achieve my goal even faster. Thank you so much for sharing your learning journey, you're doing great!
Loved seeing your progress! I have been playing the Flute for 10 years now and just picked up the Bassoon a few months ago, this video really inspired me to document my bassoon progress :) Ps: you're doing great, keep it up!! Wishing you lots of fun on your continuing flute path :)
Heya! Adult beginner here as well! I picked up the flute around late March this year (but my main instrument is the piano). Found out very quickly that while I could read music just fine, my lung capacity was nothing short of abysmal haha 🤣 I checked out your other videos too and wow, your singing voice is absolutely gorgeous! Let’s keep on practicing and making music ♥
The amount of air you have to use is really confronting, for a good while it’s like why do I feel like passing out after practising !! 😂 & aw thank you so much !!! 💪 definitely let’s keep at it :)
Hello I played the flute growing up, and I stopped for awhile...a while being like 15 years. Seeing this reminds me to just get back to it and keep practicing daily. You're doing great!!
definitely if it’s something you want to get back to you have nothing to lose just picking it up! :) i never played before and im surprised how much i could learn only practising a little bit !
Amazing progress, but even at month 1 you seemed very comfortable with the flute! I learnt at school for a year but could never get the hang of it so gave up. Recently I picked up the flute again after 30 years and it's still a struggle but in my old age I have more patience with myself and I'm making progress finally 😅. BTW what flute are you using?
Aw I’m so glad you’ve come back to the instrument !! I’m not sure the exact make because I’m only borrowing it from someone else but it’s a Yamaha student flute :) 🥰
@@ivanfurber ah, Yamaha. I was asking because I just bought a Yamaha student flute and it's lovely. A good flute does make it a bit easier to learn. But you really seem like a natural. Hope you continue to make great progress and enjoy the instrument for many years to come 😊✌️
It is a really nice flute! aw thank you but i wish! i am definitely not a natural but trying my best 💪🥲 i wish you all the best on your flute journey too !! 🎶
well done, Im just starting with a flute and looking on what to expect... I have advantage of some whistles that I already play (have breath control already developed) and a bit of clarinet - both transfers to the flute, breath, tonguing, fingerwork, embochure (is different for clarinet, but you know, muscles are already working so it becomes easier)... cant wait to deep dive into explorations with this wonderfull instrument :)
Hi! You're honestly doing an amazing job considering how hard flute can be sometimes and how much air it takes compared to their instruments! My personal advice I'd like to share with you is that while you should put in some serious practice, it's still a great thing to just mess around and experiment with your instrument. I would also suggest that once you get to a level where you are confident in your ability to perform, you should consider joining your nearest civic band. I performed with my towns civic band for the first time this summer, and while the music was kinda hard for me at first, it really helped to push me to improve and become far better than I was when I joined and I had a ton of fun doing it! Keep up the great progress you've been making!
Hi, Good job, i am an adult beginner as well, i wish i can play better and better. . I see your music sheet ,i do the same thing like that 😂😂, wrote the key below.. . I just learned flute like 3 months, just like you i spend 20minutes-1 hour / day to practice. . I know it sounds very strange but i recommend you to watch japanese animation called " hibike! Euphonium", it's give me motivation and i am starting to learn flute because of this animation, i think it is fun to learn music. Also that animation have drama about a flutist and oboist.
Nice! It's a great advice to record yourself and taking it to the next level of sharing it here makes it better🥳. I started the flute in may 23 and have recently switched to holed😵💫... but fine haha
@@ivanfurber I'm also using a "thumbport" but for the left hand, it's a less common gadget and prevents you from thinking the flute is going to fall from position ;)
OMG this made my day today!!! Just started mastering Woodwind instruments later in life..... Started Saxophone 4 years ago and now moving onto Clarinet for a year and a half. Flute is next. Really missed out on that oppurtunity of doing band in school. Choir and Drama kid. Never worked out. Gotta keep reminding myself that it's NEVER too late to peruse a new skill.
I’m the same! I never played instruments and did theatre. great fun but it’s good now to explore and learn about music :) never too late ! i hope you’re enjoying your woodwind journey too :)
6:24 oh I felt that 😅 Even though I've been playing the flute for 7 years in high school and, after a long 9 year break, picked it up again, my flute could probably testify against me in a court at this point 😅
It's so much inspiring and lovely how you improved so much gradually. I absolutely loved the first clip of March, that's when i realised the difference in before and after
