Emily, many years ago when I was still young and a student, a friend let me borrow her silver flute for a while, she did not play. I caught onto it very quickly because I play several other instruments. I took the flute often into the forest to play and to my amazement I saw deer being attracted to the sound and come very close. Then I tried the same with horses, playing the flute up on the ridge that separates the Bay Area in Berkeley California from the different landscape and the horse ranches of the back country. Standing by the fences on the ridge with my flute at least a dozen horses would come up from the valley below and stand very close. I felt like a pied piper for hoofed animals, such as deer and horses.
@@-God_IS_Real- Good question! I had a mother who was very controlling for no reason and decided I should play something like guitar instead. Now I play them both! Happy playing :)
As a soprano and alto saxophonist learning the flute, I'm curious whether your point was made or not. It's been half a year now, what's your verdict? I definitely underestimated the flute, personally. Also the B key vs octave key hurts me when switching back and forth between the two. I can now never quite remember what my left thumb is supposed to be doing on either instrument! The flute sure is a lot smaller and lighter and easier to disassemble though. Can practice anywhere, even in the car or bathroom!
Today is my 57th birthday. I have received a beautiful flute as a gift. I took a semester of flute as a child, but that was so long ago that I have forgotten everything. I am here to begin anew.
I used to play the flute when I was in college and stopped right after I graduated. Now, I'm trying to relearn everything. Kinda forgot the everything since it's been so long. Thank you for the tutorial. It was very helpful!
I played in middle and high school and was pretty good, not bragging, just telling it like it is/was. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a flute for years after graduating, so my ability to play diminished. Finally, got a flute and was able to play at a beginner level. Now, I am trying to relearn and regain my ability to play well. I will be using this site! Thank you!
HUGE TIP FOR ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS I'm a complete beginner (just got my flute 45 minutes ago) and something I had trouble with is making a sound. I struggled for quite a while until I played around with the angle. I was angling the lip plate so it was at a 90/80 degree angle and I could only get tiny sounds. But then I put the lip plate flush with my lips (basically kiss the lip plate and then pull it slightly back so your lips aren't touching it) and that makes it world's easier
i’m really glad i found this channel honestly. i found out my late sister’s flute is still functional and have been dying to try and learn. thank you for giving me this opportunity to grow closer to her memory.
Hi shimmer, my daughter is the opposite, she's been learning trombone and now wants to learn flute.. do you think she will find playing the flute easily?
@@melissascheffer522 They're not exactly close together, but it would be easier from trombone to flute than something like cello to flute. Also flute was like my 8th instrument, so I was accustomed to learning how to play an instrument. I found it relatively easy
@@Nixplaystrombone funny actually, I’m switching from a cello to a flute- this transition is so incredibly hard for me.. I never really wanted to stop playing the cello but that’s just how it ended up. Now I am just beginning the flute and can almost barely make a sound most of the time..
@@Nixplaystrombone thanks I’m gonna need it, and yes it’s very hard.. I don’t have very good breath control so that’s something I really need to work on.
THE BOOK IS OUT! Find the course at musogy.com Learn the Flute with The Flute Channel's Amelie Brodeur. If you're a beginner these courses will help you master Tone, Breathing, Posture, Sight-Reading, Rhythm and more. This 15 lesson course will start any new flutist on the right track, even if you're starting up from a long hiatus it can be a good refresher.
Happy to see new people coming to this video! Check the link in the description and also let me know what type of videos do you want to see more! Happy Practicing!
Good Rhythm is always great to have! Welcome to the community and take a look at all of my videos and the playlist may guide you a little bit more! Happy practicing!
I am in a similar position,A drummer and percussionist.I just bought a flute of a mate of mine.I already practice bass guitar and looking at flute as well.Oh well suppose it keeps me out of trouble I suppose.
I am amazed and shocked how emily is the only person who explains and teaches so well unlike other people we met. My sis is 6 and alr know the basics of the flute thanks to you so u deserve my subscription thanks!
😂 I was in the middle of a Bosch rerun and paused it when I thought randomly that 💡I should learn to play an instrument! Just turned 52, never played an instrument, don’t have a flute and I’m here too lol.
How exciting and wonderful! I am not a beginner, more a devoted intermediate; however, I look forward to seeing this series and passing it along to students who would benefit from it - and I'm betting I'll glean some knowledge, too. Thank you for creating this!
I have been playing the clarinet since I was 8 and stopped at 17 when I went to college. Now I’m 30 (very scary lol) and I want to play the flute because my brother and sister play it and I’m the odd one out and it’s such a beautiful instrument! It’s so hard to produce a sound!
!!! These parts are only for if you happen to know parts before it, such as reason in following your book directions !!! And yes, these are in order. 0:01 - Head Joint and making sound 2:25 - Assembling your flute 4:20 - Holding the flute 6:20 - Rhythms, Beat Counts, and Time signatures. (This much can be a little over whelming, may want to take a break in between these lesson timings) 7:12 - Treble Clef, lines on Treble, and positioning #2 11:06 - B Note. Another comment may appear later, I’m a lazy kid sorry so part 2 comment later :]
Can you post a beginner lesson like this on how to hold a piccolo? I've looked everywhere on how to hold the piccolo. Just a five minute video would be so appreciated. Your lessons are so smooth and natural. Thank you.
hello! i wanted to tell you this really helped me alot, in middle school i played flute (im in high school now and forgot all about the flute). i came across my flute and was like "OMG i wanna learn again" so i looked up beginners Flute Tut and boom i saw you. it really made me remember alot so thank you.
My guitars burnt up in a fire, so I bought a flute. Flute burnt up in a house fire . Now my brother gave me another flute. Now its game on. No more fires gonna stop me
using your courses to re-learn the flute after not playing in 13 years! thank you for providing this free, educational course! adults looking to rekindle their inner child thank you!
Thank you ma'am, you helped me A LOT!!! I used to play in middle school band as a beginner and this was an absolute great way to refresh and learn a little more.
I know I am late but I am in middle school 8th grade and I finally decided to join band and learning the flute was my dream but because my professor got really ill now I have to learn from home after school . I am so happy I found your channel thank you for helping me and others.
Ty. I'm almost 40 and found one at a pawn shop and have always wanted to learn. . Your tips and tricks really help. Love the way you explain everything. Understood it very well.
I used to play the flute for a couple of years when i was a kid. I have been wanting to get back to it, this is an amazing refresher and life saver, thank you so much!!
I am having a flute delivered right now. I am so excited to see your description on your video. Thank you so much for your care and dedication to flute players, veterans and new beginners.
I just bought my first flute today and am so blessed to have found your video to introduce me to this beautiful instrument. Thank you, have a blessed day.
I got (wrongfully) expelled so spending the year re-learning a bunch of old instruments I havent had the privilege to access since I was in high-school! I got this bargain flute today and within an hour of getting back home and this video, I was able to produce sound consistently! aaa I feel so happy! Music is everything to me and there is no greater pleasure than playing!
Nice to meet you Mrs. Emily! I am 35 years old and I have been playing the flute off and on since I was 17 years old; a junior in high school. I taught myself how to play because I have always loved the flute so much and I was DYING to be able to play it for myself. I have never taken flute lessons until today by watching your video on RUclips! I am in between a beginner and an intermediate level right now and I love to play Disney songs, Christian church songs and Christmas songs!!! 😁😁😁❤️🎶❤️ Thank you so very much for sharing your helpful videos with everyone and I hope that God will richly bless you!

Flute was my first instrument in grade school over 50 years ago, now I play guitar, banjo, mandolin, bass, resonator, and blues harp. But I'm going to get a used flute and pick it up again...thanks.
Hi Amelie nice to see this from german here. I learn again since i am 21 years old. Oha, vor long time before. 37 year oha. But my social work was long time and my two sons my life and now they are 15, 25 and i try to learn again more. Thanks. I like you channel very, very much. Fine. Greetings from Beate
I really love your tutorials. I began playing flute in 6th grade (2003). I continue to play often and practice with your lessons. Awesome. Keep up the great work/teaching/playing.
As Harold Bennett's great-granddaughter, I played clarinet for a while but never had the fire for music burn in me as he did. My eight-year-old daughter does, however, and she's chosen to follow in his footsteps with the flute. You'll be teaching me so that I can guide and correct her practice at home. Her great-great-grandfather would be very proud.
i am teaching someone at my school that wants to switch from clarinet to flute so i am using these videos to make lesson plans for her!! thank you so much
I currently have a band class and I play the euphonium. I tried blowing into the head joint of the flute once, but I don’t know why I didn’t make any sound. There are people in band that play the flute and I didn’t know how they got so good doing so until I saw now how people blow into the instrument. And, with that being said, I learned how to put the instrument together with its case. Neutral experience.
It’s been 3 years for me 😭it’s my old band teacher who made older kids in the grade teach us and that obviously made most things I did wrong. The teacher didn’t even try teaching us she just made sure we could make a sound with it then left 🥲
@@marieIIyno joke, that’s kinda what happened to me when I was in elementary school. Dunno whether I was stupid or the music teacher couldn’t teach the flute, but I was playing the same darned sound the entire class. I gave up on the flute after that
I play for nearly 50yrs, just got my wife one. I don't have a book for her, so I'm sending her to your site. I hope she can learn from you. I told her the most important thing is a good clean sound, all the rest will fall into place.
thank you for this. I particularly like how you teach us to make a noise before putting the flute together. I had heard that making a proper noise was the hardest part. I'll do that from now on before putting the instrument together. (turns out its not that difficult when you know how it works)
Can anyone recommend a decent beginners flute? I’ve seen anything from $100-$300. I haven’t played since the 6th grade and am interesting in picking it back up as a hobby. Thank you!!
I played the flute when I was younger and played all the way up to Conservatory Grade 8, then life interfered. I just ordered a flute from ebay and we'll see how rusty I am. I'm excited to get back into it, and hopefully the flute is a decent one.
@@mrjilian07 I do believe it's because she's tightening her lips. I've been playing flute for 3 years, and I'm still learning about that so I'm not entirely sure
I bought an expensive (160€) bass tin whistle, which is an open holes and much simpler Celtic flute. While it is very different from transverse flute I guess it can give you a first impression about holding a flute and about the mechanics of the flute sound. You can buy classic (non-bass) tin whistles for about 15 or 20€. :)
What a great intro lesson. I used to be a Soprano and Alto sax and bassoon player in college many years ago. I decided to pick up a flute from a pawn shop for $25, took it apart and did a COA on it, and now I'm trying to learn how to play it properly. One thing these lessons never really cover for adults is "what to do with it?", I'm just not quite sure how to practice for a recital without a symphonic band or woodwind ensemble to meet with. I suppose it varies, but it sure it hard to find a way to, say, play campfire guitar songs on a flute :/
Thank you so much, when I first got my flute I was so excited until my brother told me I wouldn’t be able to play it for a while, so I looked up this video, and now I’m able to play well! I appreciate this tutorial.
This instrument completely fascinates me. I dont own one, and I dont know if i ever will get around to try learning it. But it is beautiful to me nonetheless
Can you please make a video of how to do the eighth note correctly on the flute? I been practicing the eighth note two weeks and it don’t sound correct
@@flutechannel You have helped so much! I'm even more motivated to stop smoking now. I've had it all summer, but never really learned to blow it.... Do you have any tips on how to clean flutes? 🙃
@@flutechannel ruclips.net/video/8XzPxQxxbSI/видео.html I found it. 🤗 thanks!.... but my flute was given to me and didn't come with a rag. I'll have to get one, but thank you. I will get back to practicing now. 👌
Got a flute for Christmas cause I wanted to learn and I just spent the past 20 minutes trying to figure out how to open the case lmao so definitely need this
Hi Emily, I really like your videos , lots of info and points on playing the flute. But I wonder, have you ever tried the bamboo flute?(Malaysian Seruling, Indonesian Seruling, or Chinese Dizi Flute)I play the bamboo flute and I wonder how a Professional like you think about the bamboo flutes.
Hi Amelie Thank you so much for these beginners’ tips and technique. I have a Mendini brand Flute. I am not expert but for some reason I don’t feel it’s making the right sound. I am looking at the Pearl Student Model 200. Do you think that’s a good choice? Or any suggestion for a good beginner’s or intermediate quality Flute. Thank You
I'm here as a person who just passed Grade 2! I'm a member of the school band and in going too tutor some new kids in my school!! Just looking at how I should teach them! 🎶💕
im considering buying a flute, and i saw one online where it has the option “16 holes closed” and “17 holes open”, can I ask what’s the difference? And what is better for beginners? My only instrument is bass😅
I play clarinet and I’d like to learn flute. This tutorial was really interesting. All I need now is a flute. What is a good and inexpensive beginner flute?
Amelie thank you so much! I'm a beginner and these flute lessons really teach me. Now that i'm getting better today, I took 1 straight hour of practice watching your videos over and over. I love your channel! btw im new here!
I'm 58 and just about to buy a flute to learn on. Do I buy a beginners flute or is it best to buy a professional one and learn properly? I can play by ear so I just want to learn the basics. I will follow your very good tuition, thank you.

Thank you for my first flute lesson! When I was a boy, I wanted to play flute and wasn’t allowed. Now as a grown man, I’m getting to do it myself!
why werent you allowed to?
@@-God_IS_Real- Good question! I had a mother who was very controlling for no reason and decided I should play something like guitar instead. Now I play them both! Happy playing :)
@@Clintthecoolguy Nice! I play saxophone right now, I also wanna play clarinet and flute
@@-God_IS_Real- Go for it! You should have good breath control already :)
Same! Was not allowed to learn to play music and was forced to study as a child, now as a grown woman I’m planning to learn to play flute
As an alto and tenor saxophonist learning flute to prove a point to a flautist who hates me, this is extremely helpful.
Same here, but I hate the flutist and play the violin 😅
same but clarinetist
Are you still offering the PDF? I played in High School and would like a detailed refresher course
As a soprano and alto saxophonist learning the flute, I'm curious whether your point was made or not. It's been half a year now, what's your verdict?
I definitely underestimated the flute, personally. Also the B key vs octave key hurts me when switching back and forth between the two. I can now never quite remember what my left thumb is supposed to be doing on either instrument!
The flute sure is a lot smaller and lighter and easier to disassemble though. Can practice anywhere, even in the car or bathroom!
Hateful floutists...there goes the neighborhood.
Today is my 57th birthday. I have received a beautiful flute as a gift. I took a semester of flute as a child, but that was so long ago that I have forgotten everything. I am here to begin anew.

Merci!
Merci Andre!

As Harold Bennett's great-granddaughter, I played clarinet for a while but never had the fire for music burn in me as he did. My eight-year-old daughter does, however, and she's chosen to follow in his footsteps with the flute. You'll be teaching me so that I can guide and correct her practice at home. Her great-great-grandfather would be very proud.
i am teaching someone at my school that wants to switch from clarinet to flute so i am using these videos to make lesson plans for her!! thank you so much
That's great!
I’m a tuba player but I have two flutes at my house for no reason, so I’m trying to learn.
I currently have a band class and I play the euphonium. I tried blowing into the head joint of the flute once, but I don’t know why I didn’t make any sound. There are people in band that play the flute and I didn’t know how they got so good doing so until I saw now how people blow into the instrument. And, with that being said, I learned how to put the instrument together with its case. Neutral experience.
I've been playing flute for 4 years and still don't know what I'm doing 😭😭😭
dang i been playing it for 4 months and know it fine
I just started on the lessons. Tomorrow is when I get the flute.
It’s been 3 years for me 😭it’s my old band teacher who made older kids in the grade teach us and that obviously made most things I did wrong. The teacher didn’t even try teaching us she just made sure we could make a sound with it then left 🥲
@@marieIIyno joke, that’s kinda what happened to me when I was in elementary school. Dunno whether I was stupid or the music teacher couldn’t teach the flute, but I was playing the same darned sound the entire class. I gave up on the flute after that
Excellent instructions. Excellent instructor.
I have been playing violin and tomorrow I'll finally get my first flute and I'm so excited 🤩
I love flute
This is great! I'll definitely check these classes, super helpful.
Thats great! Yes do check it out, I've poured in almost 2 years making the course perfect for everyone to benefit. Hope you enjoy it!
we are not even at the beginner stage but hearing the flute play is just awesome
4 weeks into trying to play and I still cant make a sound. 😭 I'm going to keep trying though.
Same lmao
It took me 6 months to make a good constant sound when I was learning in year 6
Don't give up. It takes time ⌚. I'm learning and getting the right tone. Don't give up.
I don't play flute, I don't even own a flute how did I get here? What am I doing here?
I play for nearly 50yrs, just got my wife one. I don't have a book for her, so I'm sending her to your site. I hope she can learn from you. I told her the most important thing is a good clean sound, all the rest will fall into place.
Of course, and plenty of practice. All the best to her and have fun playing duets!
thank you for this. I particularly like how you teach us to make a noise before putting the flute together. I had heard that making a proper noise was the hardest part. I'll do that from now on before putting the instrument together. (turns out its not that difficult when you know how it works)
Fantastic James! Happy practicing!
I'm switching from saxophone to flute for marching next year, flute is so much fun
Can anyone recommend a decent beginners flute? I’ve seen anything from $100-$300. I haven’t played since the 6th grade and am interesting in picking it back up as a hobby. Thank you!!
I played the flute when I was younger and played all the way up to Conservatory Grade 8, then life interfered. I just ordered a flute from ebay and we'll see how rusty I am. I'm excited to get back into it, and hopefully the flute is a decent one.
2:01 how do I make different notes?? Every time I try I only get that same deep sound
By putting more or less pressure with the air you're blowing.
Same
Me too
Me too
@@mrjilian07 I do believe it's because she's tightening her lips. I've been playing flute for 3 years, and I'm still learning about that so I'm not entirely sure
Thanks I'm a year 5 student learning the flute and it helps me alot!
Thanks I learnt how to play B and B-flat with ease thanks alot!!
My teacher told me all the flute players to play f, but as soon it was my turn I failed but next time I will make a huge comeback
Thank you for the lesson! I used to play when I was younger and wanted to give it a try again.
Emily, Just purchased my 1st flute. I have had 3 years of Piano 🎹 lessons back in the 1960’s. This should be fun and interesting…
amazing! happy practicing luke!
I dont even have a flute, but i’ll start watching your lessons
Hi I have a question .. What flute I should buy and try practicing on as a beginner ?
I bought an expensive (160€) bass tin whistle, which is an open holes and much simpler Celtic flute. While it is very different from transverse flute I guess it can give you a first impression about holding a flute and about the mechanics of the flute sound.
You can buy classic (non-bass) tin whistles for about 15 or 20€. :)
An open hole flute works best for me😊
I got a closed hole white
What a great intro lesson. I used to be a Soprano and Alto sax and bassoon player in college many years ago. I decided to pick up a flute from a pawn shop for $25, took it apart and did a COA on it, and now I'm trying to learn how to play it properly.
One thing these lessons never really cover for adults is "what to do with it?", I'm just not quite sure how to practice for a recital without a symphonic band or woodwind ensemble to meet with. I suppose it varies, but it sure it hard to find a way to, say, play campfire guitar songs on a flute :/
Thank you so much, when I first got my flute I was so excited until my brother told me I wouldn’t be able to play it for a while, so I looked up this video, and now I’m able to play well! I appreciate this tutorial.
This instrument completely fascinates me. I dont own one, and I dont know if i ever will get around to try learning it. But it is beautiful to me nonetheless
yo thanks for feedback am now loving to play the flute !!!!!!!!! THX SO MUCH
I play Indian Bamboo flute. Now I want to buy a metal flute. Which one is good for me. Is open hole or closed hole is prefferable
Can you please make a video of how to do the eighth note correctly on the flute? I been practicing the eighth note two weeks and it don’t sound correct
IM SUCH A BIG FAN❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
happy to hear!!!
i just started band with the flute and i cant make a sound at all but ima keep trying
Thank you so much for posting this I can do the flute now because of you !!!😃😃😃😃
You're welcome Betty!!
Thanks for my first flute lesson! Just bought a flute today 🙏🏼🙏🏼
That's awesome! I hope you love it! 💖
THANK YOU SO MUCH, I FINALLY LEARNED HOW TO MAKE A SOUND FROM THIS OLD FLUTE!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 I'M ON MY WAY TO CARNEGIE HALL!!!!! 🧡❤💜🤗
Glad I could help!
@@flutechannel You have helped so much! I'm even more motivated to stop smoking now. I've had it all summer, but never really learned to blow it.... Do you have any tips on how to clean flutes? 🙃
@@flutechannel ruclips.net/video/8XzPxQxxbSI/видео.html I found it. 🤗 thanks!.... but my flute was given to me and didn't come with a rag. I'll have to get one, but thank you. I will get back to practicing now. 👌
I was accidentally was sent a flute instead of a clarinet so now since I still have the flute I’m going to try and learn how to play it!!
I don't even own a flute. I literally play clarinet, but did I watch this entire video? Absolutely.
aww thanks! love clarinet btw. Any clarinet RUclipsrs I should follow?
I watched Lizzo on Johnathon Ross. That's what got me to take up the flute. So, I decided to take it out of my wardrobe and practice it.
But if u block the end piece no air comes out so uh my checks fill with air help
Got a flute for Christmas cause I wanted to learn and I just spent the past 20 minutes trying to figure out how to open the case lmao so definitely need this
Hi Emily, I really like your videos , lots of info and points on playing the flute. But I wonder, have you ever tried the bamboo flute?(Malaysian Seruling, Indonesian Seruling, or Chinese Dizi Flute)I play the bamboo flute and I wonder how a Professional like you think about the bamboo flutes.
Hi Amelie
Thank you so much for these beginners’ tips and technique.
I have a Mendini brand Flute. I am not expert but for some reason I don’t feel it’s making the right sound.
I am looking at the Pearl Student Model 200. Do you think that’s a good choice?
Or any suggestion for a good beginner’s or intermediate quality Flute.
Thank You
I have this flute and when i removed the top im trying to put it back but it wont work-
I'm here as a person who just passed Grade 2! I'm a member of the school band and in going too tutor some new kids in my school!! Just looking at how I should teach them! 🎶💕
That is awesome!
im considering buying a flute, and i saw one online where it has the option “16 holes closed” and “17 holes open”, can I ask what’s the difference? And what is better for beginners? My only instrument is bass😅
same I play doublebass and guitar bass as well, I'm trying to pick up the flute now!
I play clarinet and I’d like to learn flute. This tutorial was really interesting. All I need now is a flute. What is a good and inexpensive beginner flute?
Amelie thank you so much! I'm a beginner and these flute lessons really teach me. Now that i'm getting better today, I took 1 straight hour of practice watching your videos over and over. I love your channel! btw im new here!
Welcome to the community!
@@flutechannel thank you!
I'm 58 and just about to buy a flute to learn on. Do I buy a beginners flute or is it best to buy a professional one and learn properly? I can play by ear so I just want to learn the basics. I will follow your very good tuition, thank you.
