Useful Tips For Beginners To Get The First Sound From Flute

If you have just begun playing flute, don’t be disappointed that it is taking too much time to get the first sound. In case you have not played any wind instrument before, you may probably take up more time. You need to hold patience and keep on practicing. While you practice and enjoy playing flute, take a look at the below mentioned tips for the beginners putting efforts to blow the first note out of their flute. Make sure to keep your flute safe inside a musical instrument case specifically designed for this woodwind instrument.

Hold the flute properly

The first and foremost thing to get right is to hold the flute appropriately. You should hold the flute in a way that the instrument is up to your mouth and the blowing hole is beneath your lips. Get a tight grip of the instrument. Now lift the instrument in a way so that your bottom lip is at the fringe of the blowing hole.

Try to blow the flute softly

When you try to blow the flute, make sure most of the air enters into the flute. Initially, it is normal that some air will run downwards, but you should not stop trying. Blow softly like you are blowing into a glass bottle. It may take weeks or months to get the first note. So, once again, be patient.

Roll the flute a little bit

While blowing out the flute, keep rolling the instrument with the other hand from the lips. Also, roll the flute a little bit towards the lips. This is a sort of an experiment to know the right angle for you to blow the first sound out of your flute.

Keep on experimenting by changing the position of your lips

Continue the experiments to be successful. Change the position of your lips. Keep the bottom lip forward and the upper lip at a little bit backward position and then, try to blow the flute. You can also do the opposite. You can even loosen or tighten your lips. The idea is to identify the best angle to get the first note.

Follow the aforementioned tips. Don’t be in a hurry. Keep focus, practice hard and the day when you get the first sound out of your flute, it will be the happiest day of your life and you will forever cherish the moment and the joy. Never forget to care for your instrument. Get a good musical instrument case designed for flutes to protect it from scratches, wear and tear.
