How to play the flute?

18. Girl that fell in love with the (transverse) flute and will post here everything she learns about it. Feel free to ask me any question you have about flutes or music in general. I'm currently studying music in university and got a lot of flautist friends and teachers that could help you with your biggest doubts. I'm a beginner with the flute, and I made this blog to keep basic/important information about flutes, so if you want to start or already started this blog is perfect for you. Join me on my learning!

I'm learning how to play the flute too!!! I'm not really a beginner, since I've been playing for the past two years, but I've only gotten to really play for one semester each year and since we don't learn instruments the traditional way at my school, I only know how to play a limited number of pieces rip. While you're looking up how to play the flute, I think you should look at time signatures and key signatures too. That way, you'll be more prepared to play once you actually start playing :)

Thank you very much! I’m not studying it professionally (i mean, with a flute teacher) because I’m a singer and I’m just being prepared professionally for that, but I wanted to learn how to play the flute because I suddenly started to like it. I realized I did have a good sound (thing that some musician friends told me) which motivated me to take it more seriously. Good day!
