When I play my e's and f's and d's, they come out squeaky.



Hi, there!

There are a number of reasons certain notes could be squeaky.

1) Be sure that your flute is in good working order. If you have leaky pads, your notes won't speak properly.

2) Breathe deeply. Take in a large amount of air and blow a fast airstream. See my page on breath control for more details.
Great breathing = great tone!

3) Are you playing on an open-hole flute? If so, be sure your fingers are completely covering the holes in the keys.

These are some common reasons for squeaky notes. Good luck and keep practicing!
