  • Ok you are way better than me nice job just a Copley notes were pitchy the really high ones! I rate you 98 million points! Keep playing maybe I will play that on my flute or make my own!

  • Not enough air support, and your breath pauses are too long. Definitely can work on your higher range. Also there are inconsistencies in you timbre, you higher range doesn't sound much like your low range, as it should.

  • Oh my gosh, you have the same poster as my sister! It seems like you're rushing in parts, so I'd try slowing down. Otherwise, I like it a lot! :D

  • you should send me the notes to the song i want to learn how to play that song on my flute and also you did awesoome i liked the way you sounded when you played that song[= but you do gutta tongue soo you wont be able too hear too breath pauses you take[=

  • Comment removed

  • U went flat in a few places so just blow faster air. Keep to the tempo in the fast section if u could get another instrument in the background that could help with the harmony. But you did great. :)

  • can you please send me the notes? :)

  • add another instrument in there give it harmony

  • You sound really good ^-^ But when you hit the high notes, try not to pause. It'll help you a lot and you'll sound a lot better!!

  • really good it sounded really pretty

  • I suggest you blow another flute in the next video, if you know what I mean.

    ( I mend a contrabass flute) you sick freaks!

  • it was lovely:D you were great! just make sure to follow the tempo and slur! other wise you sounded amazing:D

  • good but you need to tongue the notes so that it doesn't sound breathy

  • Really good, but keep the tempo steady as it goes it the faster parts:)

  • Wery fast. :)

    

  • lindo

  • Do you know where I can Get the Notes?

  • @supertramp110892 you can Get the Notes by Ear.

  • better tone quality?

    Work on tone quality.

    :D

    How long have you played flute?

  • Ummm. Well. I am not trying to be mean or anything I am just saying, a LOT of people have done it on flute.

  • That was so beautiful I started to cry best music I ever heard

  • maybe some backround and slow down a little and other than that you sound amazing

  • wat are the notes to this plzz tell me

  • Great, great, great! Maybe a little practice on breath support, but still GREATTT! :D

  • Make sure your breathing is correct, breath where it would make sense to breath, like after a phrase, maintain posture, back straight and keep the flute parallel to the ground, this affects the quality of the sound, don't change the note values or cut them short, most importantly, keep your air stream going! It's the quality that makes the flute sound the way it is, beautiful. Other then that, really good :)

  • try not to bring ur flute down....pik it up:)

  • You look a lot like Victoria justice

  • Get on with the video, geez

  • it was amazing:)

  • Your notes are very stable, however I think that you pause a lot in your playing. It's like, notes b c d, pause, c d e. That's what it sounds like. And nyrox is right, you may want to tune it.

  • turn it out more it wz terrible!!

    

  • i am a flute player and i think u should slow down and tounge the notes a little more but other wise good job!!!!!!

  • Hey constructive criticism, to make it sound better you should try and hold your notes out and take breaths in some different places to make it flow and also support your high notes more to produce a more fluent sound. Your performance was great though!

  • You go a little fast in the beginning and a little fast at the end as you said. You do talk a lot you should get right to it. But talking can also be a good thing. But other than that I think you did an awesome time. Do you know where to get bellas lullaby sheet music for trumpet? Thanks!

  • where did you get the music at?

  • you rushed a little....and you have a beautifil tone and keep your air going.....ummmm and my band director tells me dont take a breth in an unneeded slace but other than that nice job.

  • this is really good and i was wondering where i can get this music from i have been looking for it everywhere?!:)

  • You're amazing! o: -gaaaasp-

  • I think it's a little bit to quick?

  • The link didnt work but great job

  • good!!! i really liked it it was just the airiness and your flute was slanting a bit (sorry im just a stickler for posture) but it was fantastic slow down breath and keep doing what ur doing!! good job girly!!

  • you did really good, although you were a little airie at times and you rushed some

  • Good Job,But a little rushed.. You helped me a lot to practice and understand my music.

  • that was AWSOME!!!!

  • It is vibrating and keeping your flute parellel to the floor will help you get better sound, other than that you are good! dont rush it!! :)

  • Try to use more air and feel the 'line' of the melody rather than just the individual notes. It helps if you sing the part - you will naturally be more musical that way. Also, do not roll the flute for high notes. To get a better sound on the upper register, relax your mouth and throat, pretending that there is an egg made out of air resting on the back of your tongue. And remember, for a piano sound do NOT use less air, make a smaller hole with your lips. Keep practicing :)

  • You are a special snowflake.

    Also the flute is very pitchy and airy-sounding. Not a very clean or precise sound. You're rushing and the tune is not cohesive. Try a quieter dynamic and more of a legato feel.

  • try to focus more and roll in when you go on the high notes, but good vibrato!

  • im trying to learn and im in 7th grade that is good dolon't let it growl and blow harder

  • It was very good but your rushing.it's a lullaby but very good

  • everyone thinks they look weird when they play xD me too and i hate when my mom takes pics at my concerts xD

  • Rushingg. But im sure you knew that. And you have really good vibrato.

  • It was really good. I also play the flute. I was lookin up videos of people playing "Bella's Lullaby" so I can play it at my Solo Contest. But i would say you need to blow more/faster air on the higher notes and tongue firmer. Also try slowing down until you can play it flawlessly then you can work ob speeding it up. I loved your vibrato though! Keep up the good work! (:

  • You need to blow more air out of your mouth at the higher notes, this will sound more beautiful and fuller! even if you put your music stand a little higher should help. because your head is then in the best position! ~ Sanne

  • your going too fast

  • Where you´ve got the notes? I mean i also play flute and want the notes too.. (Sorry about my english, i´m german :)

  • ive been playing flute for 7 years. just make sure your tounguing is right and breathing is full. other than that your good to go.

  • wat r the notes

  • to much talking in the begening

  • @coxcharlieful to fast

    

  • i can't relate.....♫ it's almost 3 years i am playing flute but i cant...

  • blow more air in the intrusment and try not to let out excess air.. but u sound really good (:

  • wow, flute is really hard great job

  • it sounds a little rushed but iv never looked at the music before so idk and your breathing doesnt sound right, and fill your horn with air so you get a full note becasue sometimes it doesnt sound full but overall you did good but you seem like your in middle school are you? haha oh! and posture is a big thing in helping you breathe and how you look hope i helped!

    -Jenna

    this girls account best friend(:

  • Keep ur flute up so u cN breathe bttr n then u cN hold note alot longer

  • Sheet music Website is Forbideen lol

  • you are amazing at this song :)

  • Can I have the sheet music to that?

    

  • Just push through and remember, lots of air support! Don't forget about posture, it will help with your air!! :) Great job! Keep it up!

  • you had some high notes i started to fall asleep then i heard the high notes then i woke up but another thing is i dont think your breathing into the flute correctly

    it looks like you have your mouth completely on the flute hole

  • it made me go to sleep that was really good loved it

    stay good at it. i knew u can do it!

  • This goes with the below comment relax the corners of your mouth just a tad more, you have a great start with the embouchure and as a college flute player I still struggle with that so always think about it. On notes the the recording go you for having the guts to do this next time I suggest that you stand a little farther away from the microphone. Other then that you did a good job!!! Keep up the good work and you will go far.

  • Well for the most part you had a good sense of the song and knew how the music flowed. However there are some things to change such as; You need to hold the flute parallel to the ground meaning lift your right arm slightly away from your body, Second work on the airyness that you have in your low register by playing long tone starting on the lowest note you can play that gets them to be stronger and they are then the foundation to the rest of your range, MORE IN THE NEXT COMMENT

  • slow the tempo down but other than that it was amazing! :)

  • wow u r good

  • You need to lift up your flute a little...it was a little pitchy. And Airy.

    Other than those 3 little probs, you were amazing! You should think about playing the piccolo flute...you would do well. :)

  • You were pitchy in a few areas but other than that, nice job!

  • thats actually AMAZING focus on your breathing though <3 your great !

  • are you a filipino?

  • i play flute too i would suggest working on your tone quality when you get higher but other than that you were really good =D

  • you should practice with a metronome, and when playing high notes if you tighten your lips they will come out easier

  • You should play it slower and practice the high tunes so they sound clear :)

  • can send me the score ?

  • just slow down...its really good

  • TWILIGHT! i LOVE THAT YEAH YEAH BELL! TEAM EEEDDDDWARRDDDD! OHHHH! VAMPIRE! I LOVE IT! OHHH!!!! twilight sucks! blood........ but really you should work on that blow....ing with the flute.....and really twilight sucks sorry

    now! you can say that I'm a hater and I suck...I know

    !

  • Where did you get your sheet music?

    Also when you take breaths take big ones so that you don't have to take them too often :)

    Very good though

  • Good but slow dwn sweetheart! It was a lullaby :)

  • You're sound is really airy. :o Experiment on how you hold your lips and blow. I had the same problem when I first started playing. (: Otherwise, very pretty.

  • Very nice may you put the notes up x

  • :) That was lovely

  • wow great JOB! you stand out from everyone on youtube! your so different from everyone! you truely are a very special person and you soooo dont fish for compliments....xD

    wow,haha

  • Where do you get the music!?

  • awh! the intros cute:P

    no homo

  • i agree with LesMisLover17 it makes it sound a lot cleaner too if u lift your flute up

  • I loved it! You did GREAT!¡!¡

  • if you lift up your flute a little and play in the flute, you get rid of the sssss sound you hear

  • hey! im a flute player as well that really helps on how my notes SHOULD sound, thank you. you are very good :) keep it up. :)

  • Hehehehehehe is that a Nick Jonas poster I see??? Smexxxiiiii<3

  • very good

  • very good!! love it!!!

  • hey i was wandering if you could tell me wer u printed tht from or if you could send it me i play flute so thnx

  • you sound beitiful!!! i play the flute too and im doing it this spring for a band solo!

  • what you could do is play a little softer i know because i play the flute too and im only in 5th grade

  • Well, I heard a lot of thongs that were good, and have room to improve (which is a good thing).

    #1: Stand up straight, and chin up but not too high and don't stand to straight up that your tense.

    #2: Fix your tone. Try working with a pouty lip. Like a sad face. The more tense you are in your lips the airier it gets. I know it will seem weird at first but it helps.

    #3: When working on your lip, try adjusting your head joint. Like position it so the lip plate is a facing towards you but not too m

  • stand up straiter and level out your flute.Other than that you sound amazing

  • Keep up the good work this sounds beautiful. Things that u can inprove on and that will make u a better flute player is stand up stirght what ur arms away from ur body this will make ur sound better too and ur high ntes need more air support behind them keep up the good work

  • just make sure that you have good air support and have fun with it. if you enjoy your music it will sound ten times better than if you dont.

  • I don't want to be a bother, But your high notes need some work (but who's doesn't? ;) you have a great flute! Keep playing!

  • It's really pretty, just slow down a little more and it will be perfect!

  • do a tutorial im trying to learn how to play Bellas Lullaby and i suck plz

  • its not bella's lullaby...

  • @HotDamn281 rep at myself: haha... commented on wrong video... my bad...

  • How long have u been playing flute? I play flute in the school band. But I hope I get as good as u. Keep practicing!

  • keep your fingers close to your flute for the sound to be more smooth and don't tongue to harsh. Also use vibrato. but good job.

  • u may want to hold ur flute up higher so the sound comes out better and try not to breath on barlines try to do it on less obvious places i know its hard to do so cause i ply flute and piccolo but practicing at it ull get it and also try not to speed up then go slow3 keep the same tempo =]

  • I would straighten up a bit.

    Down bow the flute to much to the ground than your intonation will get very bad.

  • Very nice, but dont blow so hard and losen up because u may be nervouse but u were wonderful.Slow down just a little. ;)

  • you're beautiful, and so is your flute skills :)

  • As some of the other people commented, it would help if you rose your chin and opened up your airways, and, since you're looking at music, the best way to do that is raise the stand a bit more. You sound very tense too, so loosen up. This can be helped by changing your breathing. For exhaling, one way to think about it is as if you're fogging up a window. Inhaling, push your stomach out and make sure to keep your back straight and shoulders back. That helped me out. Good job though! :)

  • Hey! wow that was really good but maybe try using a little more air also having correct posture will help that alot!

    Hope i helped :)

  • Heyy! :) That sounded pretty good, only things I'd say were that everything about your playing would improve so dramatically if you just got your posture a bit better? Support your whole body from your lower back muscles, relax your arms, keep your shoulders back and, most importantly CHIN UP! :) Also, you could maybe do with practising with a metronome a few times just to make sure you don't speed up accidentally? How long have you been playing flute for? :)

  • hi! ^^ i really love this song <3 !

    i learn the flute too ehhehe but so many years i don't practice ^^U

    But well i don't know if someone elese tell u this, but u must practice the respiration... so, practice a little slowly, and then more and more fast ^_^!

    Hope i help u !

    greetings from chile!!

    P.d: sorry, my english aren't so good!! :P

  • wobble wobble wobble.. your tone is great, just don't be nervous, keep your flute up and breath

  • that was awsome can i know where you got the stand i really need on well thanks bye

  • Stick your chin out on the high notes and make your blow hole alot smaller it helps alot! Also Pull your stand up higher so your not looking down It will help you to keep your chin and flute up!

  • @dancinbug123 i was about to say the same thing! lol. and the sound will be a lot better with the chin up :)

  • Comment removed

  • you are really good but you need 2 hold up ur flutesome.

  • tone is great, but on your higher notes try not to blast them out, try to connect them more, and in some parts your going faster than needed( i've played this song) so just try to stay with the tempo..... but other than that your really good :D

  • Read the music over and over so u can connect it right and finger first

    other than that ur fine

  • Read the music over and over so u can connect it right and finger first

    

  • I think if you practice with a metronome, you'll be fine!

  • 1. keep the flute parallel to the and don't let it sag. 2. blow directly into the hole and not so much across it. 3. you need more breathe support. really push from the diaphram. you should really be engaging your stomach muscles. other than that it seems that you did very well. your vibrato was really cool.

  • good job :) and don't bash yourself! I mean you put a notation saying "my face looks weird" DON'T DO THAT!!! ROCK WHAT YOU GOT AND YOU ROCKED IT! :) there isn't any reason to defend yourself before people even start saying things, if they say something...then good for them...they are big and bad and know how to say rude things...I don't see how they can take pride in that. But don't be afraid to play your best and be proud of it. Don't even give someone the opportunity to say something ;)

  • Thats Awesome! lol i play the flute and i am trying to play that. its hard! haha

  • I play the flute.

  • I play the flute

  • Wow! Your super good! I play the flute too but your really good! You dis sound a little airy but don't worry we all do in one song or another hahaa(:

  • you got the all the noted correcttly just try to support your air and have enough to hit those high and low notes but other that your fine :)

  • You play this song very well! However, your tone DOES sound a little airy and it almost seems as if you're trying to rush the song. Take your time :] Don't just PLAY the music....you gotta FEEL it, too.

    I'm just one musician passing tips on to another ^_^

  • you did great i think so 

  • your really good! like other people are saying it did sound airy, but there are ways to fix that! lol:) other then that, you sounded really good.

  • wow, you are really good!! i love the tone of your flute, an the way you play, its lovely.  did you pay for the music ?

  • It was a little airy. Work on tounging more nut otherwise it was really really really great!!!

  • Alright u were very good, I'm not sure, but were u tonging, not hufing the notes? And try moving the headjoint around alittle if u want to cut some of the extra airee sounds. Other than that AWESOME. BTW I'm in the highist band at Baker C.M.S. so that is y the sugjestions. : - O : - )

  • love the vibrado! and the face!

  • nice but i can really hear your breath coming through as air. I mean like you are just blowing through it (while sound was coming out though) do you get it? whatever this is coming from a girl that the first time i tryed the flute it sounded perfect.

  • all you in is more support! like air support!!! makes ur notes more crisp!! if you see what im sayingg!!

  • Very good job :) I just started to play the flute about the beginning of september so you are doing a great job (from my point of view). One thing that was noticable to me was that you were rushing alittle bit. Other than that, keep up the good work :)

  • more air support from the diaphragm, and i think your counting was a liiittle off. but, beautiful!!!! your gonna have amazing vibrato soon...well you already do!

  • where is the flute part on the website???

  • to much air in your playing and also try and keep your head stright it will help and try alittle slower, tap your foot if you need to, but other than that not bad :) good job.

  • Nice job but just try to go slower next time but other than that it was perfect :-D

  • Dont rush. Other than that it was great.

  • that was so beautiful!!!!! just slow down

  • You sound really good!

    Just try to take fewer breaths and keep your

    flute angled correctly!! haha :]]

    great vid though!

  • im kinda late but u sounded very good i would advise u to slow down just a little and think of warm rich things thats wat my band director mr.brown tells me and the others although im a clarinet player i hope u have more vids

  • Good job maybe blow a little harder so you dont run out of breath but great job!!!

  • that is realy good

    

  • You should try to slow it down and articulate more

  • if you use faster air your sound will be more clear. :)

  • my friends flute like tht for a while and then she sent it off to the shop and it sounded good as new

  • i went to the link but all it is this song in the piano

  • your high notes were good (= but the only thing is you soud a bit too airy at some points!

  • I thought you were good. a mistake here and there but that was it. Keep it up.

  • i'm a flute player 2, and i was wondering if u had any tips for me. for some reason, i can't play a D or an E flat. i don't know y. if u can help me, visit my channel and comment.

  • @lovethatturtle maybe your some of ur springs arent in the right place

  • @green2346 that makes sence. it was my mom's flute, so the strings are pretty old.

  • i got this off a website... and i memorized it... i can play it along w/ the music... it actually sounds pretty good... u did a great job

  • Luv it. Where did you find the sheet music cause I also play the flute and would love to know.

  • That was awesome! I like how you said you would take constructive critisism........ but i don't have any! So nice job :-)

  • dnt worry bout the rushing at the end, it is a rly difficult piece to learn but i wud say the only thing u need to work on is the breathing, try to make it about evry 4 bars or so and then the airy notes will fade with all the practice when your workin on that! XD you shud post more vids on stuff like that!

  • its a good piece its beautiful only thing i would say is lift your flute up at the end it will bring a clearer note to your playing and also work on the position of your lips when you play. if you notice the slight sound of air going across the flute this will eliminate this sound and produce clearer notes. I love the song so keep going its beautiful
