​
Here are some flute intro videos;

starting your notes; .........and breath support

this is on proper breathing

this next one is on embrochure ( how you shape your mouth)

and another;

improving you apperature;


and this may be the best overall embrochure video iv'e found yet;
​

THIS is for more advanced embrochure formation;
the "frown" technique is overwhelmingly popular in Europe, and is probably a better technique than the 'closed smile' which is what beginning flutists usually start with here.
And now, to some notes!  PLAYING 'D', 'C', AND 'B-FLAT' AND MORE;

​NOW WE HAVE A VIDEO ON READING THE LINES AND SPACES OF THE TREBLE CLEF

notice that I said 'reading lines and spaces"  NOT  "reading notes.

this is because it is the lines and spaces that are named : A,B,C,D,E,F,and G. The notes themselves are actually named only for the amount of time they are held for :
quarter note = 1 beat
half note = 2 beats
whole note = 4 beats
and so on. 
IF YOU SAW THE HEAD OF SQUIDWARD ON THE BOTTOM LINE OF THE TREBLE STAFF, YOU WOULD PLAY AN   'E'. I don't know how LONG you would hold it for, but it would be played as  'E' because ANY note symbol on the bottom line of the staff is played as   'E'



​here are 3 more videos to review your EMBOUCHURE, breathing and tone techniques
