How to learn to play the flute
How I did it: I took private lessons around the same time I started the violin. I would learn how to blow through the head joint, then move on to learning the fingerings, and vibrato.
I stared playing simple songs then moved on to play duets with my teacher. I stopped th flute when my family moved then picked it up again.
When I relearned the flute, I relearned the fingerings and vibrato. I still remembered the scales and how to blow through the head joint.
When I got to 6th grade, I quite private lessons and continued playing in the school band. By the time 7th grade started, I switched back and forth between oboe and flute.
Lessons & tips:
- practice blowing through the headjoint if you're a beginner.
- Start with piano. It's easier to build on your music education after learning piano.
