Getting started

· Sit up straight on the edge of a chairwith your feet flat on the floor.

· Keep thumbs straight, fingers curvedand close to the keys.

· Flute should be angled slightly downwith elbows out.

Making your first sound

Using only the head joint;

· Cover the end with your right hand.place the head joint on your chin sothat the hole is covered slightly byyour lower lip.

· Form your lips as if saying “too.”

· Take a full breath. Exhale across thehole and play a long steady tone.

Tuning

· Pitch is affected by temperature, so warm up the instrument before playing by blowing air through it.

· To tune, pull head joint slightly awayfrom the body. The length you pull the head joint out depends on individualpreference and method of playing.
