If you was always out of breath than you were not playing correctly. You were blowing more air than you needed to. You don't need lungs of steel to play the flute. You just know when and when not to take a breath in pieces and know strong your steam of air needs to be.
@@SourStrawberrys well I was 10, it was a band, I had scoliosis and breathing trouble already so another negative point for my teacher not considering that!
I know playing the flute isn't easy. . My daughter has been taking flute and I am thankful the lessons are paying off. She says she doesn't quit as it's fun. But it is rigorous. She takes lessons 2x a week, and has choir practice and, above that music at her school too. It has helped her out of her shell. She has high functioning autism and this has helped soo much. Thank u Lizzo.
@M T formal training or even just a solid foundation in any subject matter really makes it so much easier to do anything in life. I compare being trained in fine art versus my self taught sewing and the difference in my abilities with both hobbies is obvious. My art training stays with me forever, whereas I’m still struggling on basic sewing/fashion/pattern making concepts because I never took classes.
Proud of Lizzo! She's an incredible vocalist and classically trained flutist!!! I hope her next album takes her to her rap album roots from her Lizzobangers and Big GRRRL Smallworld era.
I wouldn't say "classically trained". Her flute level is really not that advance. I would say most of her training came from the mandatory elective band class in school. Her playing is very average. Most flute player that are in the top chair in high school are actually more advance than Lizzo. I would say that she is at high school concert band level at most. But so far she hasn't played any music that is above varsity band level. So me claiming her to be concert band level is just giving her the benefit of the doubt. And she seems to be nowhere near symphonic band level.
@@SourStrawberrys She actually went to school for music. She was a music major on a scholarship before dropping out of college, there’s videos of her playing carnival of Venice. I wouldn’t say her flute playing isn’t advanced and barely concert band level
@@SourStrawberrys Lizzo is classically trained on the flute since 10 years old, and took music lessons from Claudia Momen. She also played flute in the marching band while a student at the University of Houston. And during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, she performed with the New York Philharmonic orchestra.
@@NastyWoman1979 That information is 100% wrong. Lizzo dropped out of college during sophmore year when here father passed away. Classically trained my behind. Lizzo took music class in public school starting in 6th grade to 12th grade just like myself and thousands of other kids. I also played the flute in grade school. If that is the case I am also "classically trained" by public school teachers. 🙄 I can tell by her playing that she wasn't a very good flute player at that; any flute player can. I can tell the difference between a varsity band, concert band, and symphonic band player (the best of the best) and Lizzo sounds like she didn't make it pass varsity band. Concert band, maybe. That's if the school band wasn't that great. Also playing in marching band in college doesn't mean you're good, she could have very well been last chair flute player or an alternate player for the marching band (one who stood by just in case they needed a replacement; technically you're appart of the band but not in it). And she didn't play in no orchestra until AFTER she got famous. She got to play with that orchestra because she was the famous "Lizzo" not because she is any good. Like I said, I can tell her skill level just by listening to her play. They have her in yhere playing some simple part just to bring name to their organization.
@@Fenniken99 Lizzo dropped out of college during sophmore year after her father past. Freshman and soft more classes is only the basic math, English, and science courses. That means she never even got to the main studies. That is my point, her playing isn't even concert band level it is varsity band and MAYBE concert band if the school wasn't that great.
If I was a billionaire I'd offer her $5 million to play a full flute concerto with a major orchestra. Free admission and live telecast. Hope for me to win the Powerball.
I’m sure it has. This was one of the estimate that I want to play as a kid but apparently didn’t happen. But nice to see a sister play this Instrument, make me feel that I’m winning too.
@@IamCarrieNotBranshaw I feel this. I am still interested in learning an instrument, even in my 40’s. Anything is possible, and I say go for the BIG WIN! ❤️
I've been playing flute for 30 years and I don't think I'll ever hear anyone have something nice to say about flutes. Edit: I love the name Blue Ivy, mine is named Wolfy. Also, I noticed she gave Dave the open holed flute -- straight up hard mode on the guy right off the bat XD
At first I thought "oh maybe she doesn't have any closed hole flutes at her place" then she picked up her other flute and I was like "OMG Lizzo how could you!"
@@kelvinc - That is PRECISELY where my mind went first too! I only noticed the open-holed flute for Dave because I noticed the other closed-hole one and felt like Dave got himself suckered. Lizzo was still an absolutely darling about his effort though ^.^
Lizzo is so damn talented. She sings live, dances, writes her own music, and plays an instrument professionally. She’s on par with the likes of lady Gaga.
@@teacher_ps I think saying her beauty is underrated isn’t giving off the same impression as saying she has other qualities that are far more interesting. For some celebrities their beauty defines them (*ahem* Kardashians), but for Lizzo, she’s the whole package! :)
Lizzo a Force to be Reckon with!! Beautiful Queen with Talent and Vocals!! Lizzo has been a inspiration to Millions of people and we Need her Voice to Speak out and Tell Everything is Gonna Be Alright/ or should I say Good As Hell!! Love Ya Lizzo 💖💖💖💖💖💖
She is a very skilled musician - I'm taken aback! This is not an easy instrument to master and I'm an advocate for giving crediit where credit is due and it certainly is due here ! Kudos Lizzo!
Just watched this lastnight and it made me cry, made me laugh. Dave is a National Treasure who is so kind and non judgemental. And Lizzo! GORGEOUS girl inside and out.
I'm a tiny bit old - fact, but when I was younger and the television show Kung Fu (David Carradine) was a thing he would often play a bamboo flute. It sounded like the word Zen in my mind.
Us flute players are such elitists lol. I have always love colorful instruments (even if they are cheap af). David did so well for the first time!!!! A natural
Just imagine it😍 I bet they'd totally vibe, on and off stage. Ian is a wonderfully strange fellow, and Lizzo is certainly one of a kind. I just know they'd have so much in common, beyond the flute even but that's a hell of a starting point. I think Lizzo might have more classical training but I'm not sure.
I 🥰🥰🥰🥰 The Flute, I learned to play when i was 13 and it was like WHOAAAAA, This is Amazing and I fell in Love. I practiced for Hours and Hours everyday (My parents were Over It 🤭🤭)since that day and became 1st Chair in less than a Year.
The look on Lizzos face when he makes a note is absolutely priceless.
I gotta say David, a few more minutes and you could've got it. But damn....
That hand ocarina is NO JOKE! David is the LingLing of the hand ocarina!
Ikr! I tried doing that hand ocarina and I failed miserably 😂
@@michellebee4545 it’s all about the angle and making sure you have a tight seal
So is there actually something in his hand?!?
@@Jaqueta84 nope. Just how he shapes his hands.
@@Jaqueta84 no, you just cup your hands tight enough so that air only escapes the bottom knuckles of your thumbs
I used to play the flute. When I tell you I was always out of breathe.... Y'all her lungs must be fueled by jet engines because I CANNOT

@@SourStrawberrys well I was 10, it was a band, I had scoliosis and breathing trouble already so another negative point for my teacher not considering that!
Oml yessss... my private teacher had me get some breath exercises to help increase my lung capacity. 😰

Thank u Lizzo.
What did lizzo do to help? Was your daughter inspired by her to start playing?
I don't know if you know David Byrne of the Talking Heads; he's autistic too, so maybe she has a music career in her future!!
❤️❤️❤️🥰
"What note is that?" ... *Nails it on the flute*
* Ears 2 notes* .... "Oh, that's Jingle Bell." *Nails it on the freaking flute*
musician
It was actually three notes. And they were the same note. It was more so about the rhythm 😄
@@adrian_hook uh....

It's the same notes as in the Squid Game and they walk into the first game arena. It sounds pretty much like traditional Korean flute too.

Flute is incredibly difficult to master and she plays it gorgeously
So ain't no body gone acknowledge how pretty Lizzo looks?
Gorgeous..
You're right! Beautiful, articulate and talented on so many levels.
She is really pretty
Noted!
#lizzorocks
Who else wanna see Lizzo as a soloist playing an entire flute concerto with a whole ass orchestra?! It couldn't be just me!!
AMEN!
You couldn't fit her fat a** on a stage with an orchestra.
I want to see he do something other than use the trill key
If I was a billionaire I'd offer her $5 million to play a full flute concerto with a major orchestra. Free admission and live telecast.
Hope for me to win the Powerball.
Say whatcha want, Lizzo is the following:
1. Gorgeous
2. Hilarious
3. TALENTED!!!
Lmao when Dave blew in his hands and all Lizzo could say was “oooohhhh” 😂
Like 😲
As a fellow flute player, the fact that he was able to make a note come out.....damn David!
If you played flute you'd know it's flautist and not flute player
I played flute in marching band for 3 years and I can conclusively say that her singing, dancing, AND playing is why I fell in love with her 😍😂
The hand flute thing is what my grandma used to do all the time ❤️ brings back good memories
Lizzo showed out with that flute at the end
I have to wonder if there’s been rise in flute sales, thanks to Lizzo.
I’m sure it has. This was one of the estimate that I want to play as a kid but apparently didn’t happen. But nice to see a sister play this Instrument, make me feel that I’m winning too.
@@IamCarrieNotBranshaw I feel this. I am still interested in learning an instrument, even in my 40’s. Anything is possible, and I say go for the BIG WIN! ❤️
I'm glad she plays the flute and completely rocks it. She is making the flute cool and that makes my heart smile.
@@gromit0299 Do it! Piano is the easiest to learn in my opinion.

Shoutout to all the band geeks 🤓 🙌 we in dis bih
Lizzo is sooo incredibly gorgeous and still, that's the least interesting thing about her
Yes! Love this compliment, I always say that to my daughter ❤️

I love this woman. Talented. Beautiful. 100% fully herself. ❤️❤️
Omg didn’t know other people did that hand flute thing too! Lol haven’t done it in yeeeaarrrsss
yeah who would have guessed there could be other people who practice whistling like this
I learned it when I was a teenager. People are either annoyed or impressed
Mariah Carey does it too
This was an incredible interview. I can't express how much I loved it!
1:19 the way she said "ohhh" sent me
Sounds beautiful. The beginning of what David was doing sounded almost like a native chant. This was awesome
Good to see a Band Nerd do well... 😊
This is so damn wholesome 🥺
Can we point out that Letterman looks like Gandalf or Santa's nephew with the beard
Just watched this lastnight and it made me cry, made me laugh. Dave is a National Treasure who is so kind and non judgemental. And Lizzo! GORGEOUS girl inside and out.
Her reaction at 0:32 is everything I ever need haha love
Thats a foxy lady...and a flutist!
That gurl makes a taurus proud ! I love LIZZO ! What an energy and curiosity.
Amazimg woman. Would love to meet her one day ^^
I'm a tiny bit old - fact, but when I was younger and the television show Kung Fu (David Carradine) was a thing he would often play a bamboo flute. It sounded like the word Zen in my mind.
He played it in Kill Bill too ❤
Lizzo kind of reminds me of Constance Wu. Similar facial expressions!
I'm waiting for the "Mask off" edit for this clip
I am more in love with both Lizzie and Letterman now. This was such a fun 2 minutes and 21 seconds.
OMG!!!! I am free Spirited!!! I needed to watch this interview.. I needed it.
Dave’s having so much fun
i love lizzo so much
Dave is the man.
Lizzo is so pretty I luv her 💗
Lizzy is simply gifted and beautiful
"I wanted you to try one.... That's not so expensive"
Us flute players are such elitists lol. I have always love colorful instruments (even if they are cheap af). David did so well for the first time!!!! A natural
I love her playing Jingle Bells on the flute.
I just love David
God, why is Lizzo so perfect
This is my favorite episode. Lizzo is amazing!!!
The cutest part of this was when David said “you accompany me on Sasha”. Love that Sasha flute
Look, I’ve been trying to teach my Grandkids this! Must be old school. We did it all the time back in the 60’s.
David is the best!
0:37 can someone make this a meme already
Omg the bird whistle!!! my favorite party trick
This was an awesome interview
Can we PLEASE get a Lizzo/Jethro Tull collaboration?
Man, we need to see her and Ian Anderson jam out together.
Great idea. Love love love some Jethro Tull
Just imagine it😍 I bet they'd totally vibe, on and off stage. Ian is a wonderfully strange fellow, and Lizzo is certainly one of a kind. I just know they'd have so much in common, beyond the flute even but that's a hell of a starting point. I think Lizzo might have more classical training but I'm not sure.
I was like, who is that homeless man with Lizzo?
😐
I am so sorry, Mr. Letterman.
Well isn't that rude!
Gawwwd this is adorable 💖
I remember my band days playing the flute. Good times !
This is the video that I needed in my life at this very moment. Thanks youtube 👍🏽

She has been playing the flute since her debut. Where have you been?
She plays flute in a lot of her songs, including the famous trill in Truth Hurts
Love lizzo
Love that she's a black flautist 👍
Blk girl magic
Love it !! I’m too a flute player ❤❤❤
Watched the whole episode. Lizzo and David are so funny. Very very interesting interview.
Never knew lizzo was this talented.
when lizzo meets a retired santa 🤣🤣🤣
How could she guess it was jingle bells?? I thought it was the titanic music! Hahahaha
As a former flute player, I approve of both the blue flute and David's quick pick-up!
He really is a natural
As a flute player myself I am so freakin impressed!
I loooooooove her outfit! ❤️
I love ♥️ Dave ♥️
she is amazing!!! nuff said!!!
Awwww that was so beautiful
I played the flute for 11 years it ain't easy!
