      “The clarinet is the hardest wind instrument to play” my music teacher said to me as I struggled to make a sound on my flute. (I have only recently started to play the Clarinet)

    Genius. I too had been thinking it must be my instrument. I had been getting the low tones but not high. After trying blowing at my hand up and down, magically the high tone happened. Thanks

    @stacymojica6113 6 років тому

    This is a great video! Thank you for making it. My daughter is 7 and she is getting frustrated trying to learn this. She can make some sounds with the head joint but when we put it together she can’t make any notes. I play flute myself but I’ve played since I was 10 myself and I don’t know how to teach her this. She gets so frustrated right away and just wants to give up. Maybe she isn’t old enough?

    As a trumpet player, I thought you guys had it much easier. This isn't as simple as I thought. And my cheek muscles are tired af now.

    • @Gibbles432
      @Gibbles432 5 років тому +7

      I'm about a month in, and I retract my statement. Flute is a much easier instrument to blow, but it takes more air control, ie precice air speed and direction. Brass just requires a lot of air pressure behind the mouthpiece which gives me terrible headaches. I'm really starting to fall in love with this instrument.

    • @radioactivepenguin34official
      @radioactivepenguin34official Рік тому

      Weird, I thought they had it harder. We're over here just buzzing our lips meanwhile flute has to literally blow. Just simply try blowing air through your mouth and you'll get a basic understanding

If there's anything u can tell me to help me please do so thank you.

    Hi, I hope you're still available ... Thanks for the explanation. The sound sounds great, but when I connect the other parts of the flute and play, I still hear the sounds of air being released, especially in the high notes ... and the clicking of the tongue sounds like spitting instead of a delicate T ... What should I do?
