Flute?????

Question

how do u play the flute and what is the best website that u dont have to buy that shows u what are the notes

Answer 1

Yes, playing the flute can be very diffucult. I recommend taking lessons. I've been taking lessons for years now, and I'm reaping the benefits. It's a lot better then any site. Also, for practicing, go to a music store and buy a beginning flute players practice book. It will have all the fingerings you need. Good Luck.

Hi Brittany,

Learning to play the flute is not too difficult as long as you have some instruction.    Lot of people have been interested about the flute on this board... and most replys have been to start taking lessons.   Lessons are important, but not everyone can afford private lessons.   If you are in middle school or even in high school, it is possible to join the school band and learn how to play for free.   Mostly,  in the US (and I don't if you live in the states) kids join band in the 5th or 6th grade.  But it is possible to join in the 7th or 8th.  They will be placed in the beginner band... but what does that matter, if you get to learn for free??   And if you practice twice as hard as most of the people, who don't practice at all,  you will catch up in no time.  Really!!!   If you want to play... YOU PLAY.    I hear from adults all of the time...  "I sure wish I could play an instrument.    I just never was able when I was younger and now I regret it"   You don't have to regret it.... just get in the band and practice.   As far as websites that actually teach people how to play the flute... I don't know of any but I absolutely think that the one on one instruction is of the utmost of importance.

Answer 3

flutes really simple i played it for half a year ,  the best way to learn notes would probably be a music book i dont know of any websites

Answer 4

Here's a cool website that when you click on the note, it tells you what note it is and what the fingering is. You probably would need to take flute lessons to learn how to play the flute. To blow into the flute, make your lips into the shape like you would be whistling. Then kinda point your lips downward and position your lips on the lip plate so that your bottom lip is almost hanging over the hole. Then blow. To see if you're blowing the right way, stick your hand out about 3 inches from your flute and you should feel the air on your hand. The air should be warm. Don't blow too hard or else you will over blow.

Answer 7

I would strongly recommend taking lessons. Without a good teacher to monitor you, your embouchure (lips), hands, and posture can be seriously compromised, leading not only to problems with playing (and need for retraining from scratch), but possibly also to damage to fingers, hands, and back (e.g. tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, etc.).

Answer 8

The flute is so easy to play. I got the noise right away. You don't put your whole mouth on the mouth piece. Just your bottom lip and you blow downward. Look up (in google) fingering chart. It shows the notes and stuff. I even use a fingering chart.
