Flute lesson
Welcome to your next flute lesson!
In this lesson, we work on the concepts of...
a relaxed embouchure
blowing a fast, focused air stream across the center of the embouchure hole
keeping the throat open by dropping the soft palate Analogies are the stifled yawn and holding a golf ball in your mouth with the lips closed
Taking in a lot of air fast, filling up the lungs Visualize your body as "Humpty Dumpty" or that you've swallowed an inner tube
Blow the air fast like the small, fast water stream of a garden hose
