Flute Basics Course Synopsis: This course is aimed at the absolute beginner flute player. Learn how to hold the instrument with proper hand, lip and finger posture will be demonstrated and explained in the first of the six lessons, along with the scales of D and G. Other basic fundamentals that Steph will address include: how to create space in a tune to breathe, breath technique, articulation, ornamentation, flute maintenance and how to gain clarity of tone in both the high and low register. Throughout the course, she progressively refers to and teases out many of the issues that give so many flute players difficulties. The 'Flute Basics' course will equip the beginner flautist with the necessary skills to begin a journey down the long and adventurous road of Irish flute playing. By the end of this beginner’s course, you will have a repertoire of twenty-four Irish tunes that sit very well on the flute, the knowledge of how to play with good tone and rhythm with basic ornamentation and a deeper understanding of the Irish music tradition. The course has 29 lessons-making it our biggest course on OAIM-broken into 3 to 4 tutorials each, where tunes are taught phrase by phrase. www.oaim.ie/flute/flute-basics

the trouble is instruments are so expensive and if you buy a really cheap flute it probably means it's crap and not worth having. How does a beginner, who isn't sure if they will end up committing to a flute, get their hands on a decent instrument?
As a total beginner, I bought a rosewood flute for a couple of hundred pounds, it seemed like the best deal around and it does give a good sound. It is also very nicely tuned. It is 'The Cygnet flute' and I bought it online from Mcneela Instruments. I think he offers a 14 day refund if it's not for you.
Thank you for the very easy to follow lessons, they are a good start. I think I need to focus a little more on breathing, before going much further.
Khasab I bought a tony dixon plastic flute for 42euro. I've only had it a day so cannot tell you about how hardwearing it is, but I think its a great way to start. It was relatively easy to get a sound out of. After 3 months I will know how committed I am and can then invest in something worth a few hundred and with a nicer tone and feel. I also like the idea of rewarding myself with a nice instrument if I work at it :) 42euro is a good investment for me.
I somewhat play a modern boehm style flute, and am curious what type the lady here is playing. Is it a de Keyzer? And where does one find such a classical flute that uses this fingering etc?
Thank you.
As a tutorial, it can't get any better than that. Fantastic
Thanks Stavros, glad you liked it !
I restored a late 19th c. Flute this winter, your tutorials are great for A) teaching me how to play, and B) helping me figure out whether there’s a problem with my flute (spoiler alert: the problem is always A!)
I love that instrument and tunes.
Hi Michael, We love it too. Do you play Irish flute?
Superb.
Hi from Tallinn, Estonia! Playing whistle for years but never had patience to progress with the flute. Now getting some good practice time, thanks OAIM!
Hi Kirill, brilliant, delighted to hear you're progressing onto the flute! Let us know if you have any questions...
That's a lovely little tune! Can you suggest two other tunes that would compliment it?
There are many great tunes to compliment this one in the course, check them all out :) www.oaim.ie/flute/flute-basics/
Wow! It sounds the same as western concert flute.
Is that a wooden flute? We also call this flute a concert flute.
Yeah!
Fantastic, thanks for the lessons. I just ordered an Irish D keyless.I love the sound.Must be the 20% irish ancestry kicking in???
Glad you liked it! What flute did you buy?
A Casey Burns Folk Flute in African Blackwood.Looking forward to receiving it in March, then I will subscribe to your great lessons!
@@generalgeneral2018 Nice, have you been playing tin whistle at all? It's a great way to prepare for starting to play flute.
Hi Teacher,
I would like to ask if do you have or when i can find a book which is only exclusive for irish Flutes, like violin they do have suzuki violin book, pls give an advise thank you so much.
Hello - I've just recently acquired a fully-keyed Irish flute - I've played Boehm system flutes and clarinets for years, but I'm new to the Irish flute. I'm currently having some trouble with tuning in the upper/middle register - beyond 'D' it sounds a semitone flat! I can't work out why it's so flat, but don't think it's my embouchure alone... any advice would be gratefully received! Thanks.
Hi Matt, what type of flute are you using? Has it got a tuning slide?
It might be your embouchure/air stream needs a bit of coaching...assuming you have a fairly decent instrument.
I'm a classically trained flutist but haven't played my flute in several years, so my embouchure is out of shape. Any tips on how to get better tone with the lower notes? I bought a keyless flute handmade by Casey Burns of Kingston, WA. I'm loving these lessons!
Hi Claudia, This is the type of question you would ask on the www.oaim.ie forum
Claudia, I'm curious if you got one of the ergonomic models for smaller hands? If so, have you been pleased with it? And if you don't mind my asking, what was the price range?
I'm still struggling with getting high notes. Do you have any tips to make it easier?
Hi Seána, apologies for this delayed reply it's taken a while to get a good answer. When playing low notes concentrate on directing the flow of the air into the bottom of the flute. On the high notes direct that across the mouth hole and try tightening your lips. Let me know if this works out. These are the type of questions answered on the OAIM forum within 24hrs. For fast progress start learning in a structured way on - www.oaim.ie
Thank you for this really great video! :) It helped me a lot! There is only one thing I really don't get. The "high" and the "low" G have exactly the same finger pattern- at least it looks like that's the case. How does this work? Or am I doing something wrong?
Hi, you blow harder for the higher notes. What flute are you playing?
@@onlineacademyofirishmusic Thank you for your answer! I have a Tony Dixon practice (polymer)flute. I already tried out several things- the correct breathing ist definitely the hardest thing for me to learn
Hi I am watching from Hungary, Budapest, OAIM lessons are great so I bought myself a Seery flute for small hands. There are extra two holes at the bottom, it seems they are not used that. Why almost every flute has? Please reply when you have free Time. I Thank you!!
Hi Judit, Yes those holes are normal and we don't use then at this stage. Congratulations on your new flute !
Online Academy of Irish Music Thank you for the answer. May I ask when do We use those Last two holes?are they on a scale of the D major?
@@almatka1 Those two holes are only used in tunes by groups like beoga and talisk that have names like universe and mystery. I’m pretty sure you blow them with your nose.
Hi Almatka, I hope that in the meantime someone has given you a more precise answer. I'll try😄: many Irish flutes both with keys and keyless have these 2 holes in the end because despite being flutes in D, they are based on models with C extension, so they were the holes where the keys for C and C# were to be inserted. I hope I have been clear.
Im 14 and my mum brought home her old keyless flute that she played in the late 80s. I really want to learn how to play it but my embouchure is very hit and miss, sometimes I can play a really clear note and sometimes it just sounds like air. I used to play tin whistle in primary school. Any tips on how to find the right embouchure?
Hi Megan, nice story about your Mum's flute, glad you want to play it. Here's a great tutorial on embouchure - ruclips.net/video/goCd1mEWsWs/видео.html
There seems to be a BIG jump from this lesson (#2) to Lesson #3. I see that Lesson #3 is labeled "Flute Basics 2.0".
Does this mean that there that there are two basic lesson streams?
Hi Amber, lesson 1 is all about getting your embouchure working which takes months of practice to progress. But, you can still learn the tunes once you've developed some tone. Do you find the tune difficult or is it some other element? We added lot's of extra lessons to Flute Basics last year because the progression was indeed very fast.
Ottawa, Canada says hi :)
Co. Clare Ireland says hi Back !
Just starting out and there seems to be a massive jump from video one to video 2. Video one was awesome but I’m finding it impossible to follow number 2. Am I missing a video in between?
No, it just takes months to get the tone going right.
Please provide the detailed notes 🤗

I play the concert flute . And would like to know because I have very small hands. Would I manage a Irish flute ,IE the reach ? Thank you
Hi Karen, you should be fine. I personally know someone with very small hands who is a professional flute player. Are you thinking of buying a flute? Why not start on a $10 penny whistle? The fingering is the same and you get a chance to try out playing Irish music for a while. Let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you. For your help .very kind
What are the frequencies of D Major Scale and G major Scale?
In D4 E FGABC D5
In G4 ABCDEF G5
Hi Faruk, I manage this channel and I play music by ear so I'm not qualified to answer this question. You would ask this on the OAIM forum and get an answer from one of our flute tutors on there.
Yes, your outline is correct. Here (Ireland) we might say starting on D the next note above middle C on the piano or c' (Helmholtz). G would then be G next above middle C. Those keys will see you through most simple system trad playing.
Do you know where I can get a fully keyed Irish flute similar to yours?
I play the western flute and I would like to start on different flutes
Hi, Sorry for this late reply. We always recommend martindoyleflutes.com as they offer the best value flute in terms of good tone and ease of play for the money. If you find that too expensive I have some other options, just ask :)
Almost sounds like Bonnie Charlie.
This would be great if your voice audio wasn't 2% of the volume of your flute audio. You'd think musicians of all people would understand levels, normalization, and compression.
