Middle-aged beginning flutist here. (but not new to woodwinds in general). Out of all the channels I've surfed for comprehensive explanation about tone and embouchure, I must say this is the best. One of the things that affected my tone terribly was the positioning of the headjoint. The soundhole in relation to the rest of the keys is very important. I'm loving experimenting with all of the things that I saw explained in this video, and cannot thank you enough for all of the troubleshooting tips! It's good to get all that in check while I'm a newbie, so I don't develop long-lasting bad habits.
I got my first piccolo. I am actually better at the piccolo flute than my flute. If you could please make more piccolo videos...It would really help... There aren't many piccolo players out there
I was getting a hissing sound with every note I playing and in Manchester uk, we don't have snakes.I noticed my jaws were too tight, I got a great sound when I relaxed my jaw!! I was also using up 3 lungs for one bar so feeling less exhausted when I play I'm an ex clarinet player!
what are exercises there for louder and more quiet breathing tones during/ while jumping through different notes. in order to make flute sound professional rather than one boring tone with diff notes
Halfway through the video I just was finally sounded good for the first time in a while (Mainly because I haven’t played it a lot since school got canceled)
This is really helpful. Thank you. I'm not quite sure what is meant by 'covering the hole'. Is that with top lip or bottom lip? Sorry for stupid question. Flute beginner, here in the UK. x
On my 20 year old silver headjoint I have not condensation but a dark wear make where condensation over the years has worn it. Does this effect my tone any?
Do you have a tip for me. The Ciss is approx. 35% too high compared to D (It varies betw. 20-50% depending on how hard I blew). Have tried to adjust with no luck. Are you familiar with this problem? Gunnar from Sweden
My tone spoils within a same tune with long phrases - not because of embouchure, relaxation or breath deficit but because the lips get dry, and I’m not into licking my lip like a lizard as some do.
Helped a lot, I had the flute too high on the lip, as soon as I moved it down, I could play an octave higher and there was no air in my sound
The sound at 4:53 is literally the sound I get with my flute :-( I really want to improve, thank you for this video!

Not sure if I have airy sound or I just hate how I can hear myself blow,
same, i have an airy sound and only once in a while I can get a normal sound
Yh the s helped, my embouchure was far too tight and thanks to u, its all fine now!!
Oh my goodness thank you so much as soon as I moved my lip plate down a bit my sound was so much better!

As expected, I'm making lots of these rookie mistakes! However, I'm going to work on them for as long as it takes to get to the right sound.

This is a common clarinet to flute problem but well done! I am really excited that your tone is coming along!
