I started learning how to play the flute very recently, and nobody could teach me how to blow into it properly. I watched about 30 different videos online, read 50 articles but none of them helped. You are the first person that taught me how to properly do it. God bless you!

I know this comment is three years old, but reading this again totally made my day :) Thank you!

After watching many videos and reading many articles, it has come to 2 decisions for me: 1. Get flute lessons in real life 2. Trade my flute in for a clarinet or something I don't want to give up on the flute, but the clarinet sure seems tempting.

I played flute in elementary school. I stopped in middle school when my asthma got really bad. Now at 23 I've found my old flute and want to start playing again. I've forgotten everything except how to play f, the first note I ever learned. I look forward to watching your series, and hopefully rediscovering an old passion of mine!

I'm a clarinet player, and my sister was a flute player. She told me I should play both so I decided to pick up her flute today. Did it first try.

@ronbotham6519 7 лет назад

Please continue with this series! It helped me with my embouchure greatly! Your a great teacher, thank you so much for this

@lancebaker1374 6 лет назад

Guitar Guy buys flute on a fluke. I got some sounds from my new (actually, 2nd hand 1962 model) flute off and on just by luck, like the way I hit a baseball. Your video helps a lot, so I can triple my results of actually making a sound. I guess now, I'm back to the old joke of the tourist lost in Manhattan who asked a local "How do I get to Carnegie Hall?" Local says "Practice, practice, practice."

@toluca8371 7 лет назад

I'm a clarinet player just picking up flute. Is there any reason my tone sounds extremely flat compared to yours, or is it just because your embochure is stronger and you can control it?

@angelaz895 7 лет назад

BloodTypeAPlus maybe it's the position of ur mouth

@Firefox-qi1bi 7 лет назад

@ronetele13 8 лет назад

That was super helpful, thx! I looked at like 20 videos for advice on getting started on flute (in my case Bonsuri) and all of them had the same terribly insensiitve flaw. They say, you may get it immediately, or you may take several weeks to get it, just keep trying. Come on, there must be better more precise advice, I thought. And I was right, you give lots of key tips for getting those first decent sounds and I was pretty much playing within 20 minutes of watching your video.

@lunabasumatary1197 7 лет назад
