learn flute

The flute I am using will be in the shop for the next two weeks (it just needs a simple set-up), so I will won’t get to play until then. Hopefully this won’t counteract the progress I have made recently.

I started 2 weeks ago. I don’t think my tone is very good, and I get a bit dizzy if I try to play for more than 45 minutes or so. Luckily I live with a flute player though, and she is very encouraging.

The fingerings are pretty easy so far, and I can almost play a C scale from low to middle C already.

Reading music, and playing clarinet for many years is probably a help, but I may eventually need to get a teacher to help me sort out my flute embouchure.

This is a fun instrument to be learning, though I wish I could come up with at least an hour a day (per instrument) to practice drums, guitar, clarinet, and flute.
