I started learning how to play the flute very recently, and nobody could teach me how to blow into it properly. I watched about 30 different videos online, read 50 articles but none of them helped. You are the first person that taught me how to properly do it. God bless you!

[Yeeveelicious]

After watching many videos and reading many articles, it has come to 2 decisions for me:
1. Get flute lessons in real life
2. Trade my flute in for a clarinet or something
I don't want to give up on the flute, but the clarinet sure seems tempting.

Making sound is harder than I thought...

I played flute in elementary school. I stopped in middle school when my asthma got really bad. Now at 23 I've found my old flute and want to start playing again. I've forgotten everything except how to play f, the first note I ever learned. I look forward to watching your series, and hopefully rediscovering an old passion of mine!

I'm making the sound, but it comes out a little weird and sqeaky. Is there something I need to do or do I just need to practice more? Thank you so much!
