Flute

Exercise: Start without the flute. If you can blow out through your mouth while humming, then you can add the flute – perhaps starting with just the headjoint. Once you add the flute, be sure to keep your embouchure relaxed. Can you feel how much your stomach is working? Are your lips vibrating? (This will cease to be an issue shortly.) Is your throat relaxed?
