  • Her embouchure is fine, she can smile all she wants. There's no right way to play a flute - you figure it out yourself - with a little help from your friends. Different teachers say different things. Different players have different shaped mouths.

  • You're not supposed to smile when you play. My teacher says it's bad.

  • what is it with expert village? talk about a misnomer

  • @maarabas Quite the contrary. It's a common mistake to think that the smiling embouchure is NOT wrong. Most people who are self taught or have friends who are simply self taught think that it doesn't matter because in reality they just don't have any way of knowing any better, but if you actually take lessons, you'll know. The smiling embouchure makes it hard to control both your tone quality and pitch. Everything becomes too sharp, pitch and timbre alike.

  • I never stop being surprised over how musicians and teachers complicate things and lack the ability to contextualize simple things to make them understandable.

  • i play really high for no reason i tred breath control still nothing. tried different videos were they play theres sounds low and when i do the same i am HIGH like really HIGH

  • Just recently (3 days ago) I decided to switch from Trumpet, to Flute, I am making great progress, I can already play B-C-D-E-F-G-A Quickly together. Someone tell me if this is Good progress or not.

  • jennifer, you are so beautiful playing the flute. I hope I get there someday.
