Making a sound on the flute

Fifty years ago, I was first chair in school...loved the flute. I'm trying to learn again but I can't even make a sound!!! What am I doing or not doing?




Hi!

Have you had your flute checked by a repair person? If you can't make any sound at all, that makes me think there might be something wrong with the flute. Even though you haven't played for awhile, you should still be able to get some kind of sound.

Check inside the flute to see if anything is stuck in there, like a cleaning cloth.

If the flute is in good repair, try blowing on just the head joint at first to start getting a sound again. Pretend that you're spitting a watermelon seed out of your mouth and trying to get it to land across the room.

Good luck!

Kathy
