Hey there. I'm going to show you today, the three easiest and fastest ways to improve your flute playing. So I'm going to show you the three easiest and fastest ways to improve your tone, your high notes and your general flute playing.

Faster flute progress through learning proper technique

So firstly, my name is Jane Cavanagh. I am a flute teacher. No surprises there probably also no surprises that I am Australian. I teach the flute professionally. And my favourite thing about teaching the flute is to teach people the fastest and easiest ways to improve their playing. And I do that by teaching proper technique.

So I teach you proper flute playing technique, which is amazing for accelerating how quickly you improve and how good you get.

Instantly improve your flute tone

Number one, Tone. The fastest way to improve your tone is to learn the three tweaks that I teach that instantly improve your tone. So instead of doing it in this video here, to keep this video sort of as an overview, I'm going to direct you to a free mini-course, go to www.flute.school/free. And it shows you how to instantly improve your tone.

So basically, in a nutshell, it's going to take your tone from fluffy like this to a stronger like this.

Improving note lengths on the flute

Now the benefits to this are more than just sounding better when you improve your tone like that. Firstly, you improve your tone, but you also improve how long you can hold a note because you are refining your sound. You're wasting less air.

And that means that you actually have more air to play with and you also actually improve how easy it is to play your high notes when you improve your tone.

So more on that in the mini course, www.flute.school/free 

Proper technique for playing high notes on the flute

Okay, number two, the easiest and fastest way to improve your flute playing is by Improving your high notes and you do it by doing this, you learn the small embouchure tweak.It's a tiny little adjustment that you make that you may never have heard of that makes your high notes pop out with ease.

So for example, instead of having high notes, sound like this, which is loud and it's sharp and it uses lots of air. Doesn't sound very nice. It's loud. It's a bit raucous, I guess you'd say. So instead of that, you learn the tiny little embouchure tweak that means that you can play high notes softly with less air and they sound nice like this.

So that was a very, very gentle high, the technique that I teach you in, I'll tell you now the free mini-course www.flute.school/highnotes  . The tweak that I teach you in there gets you on the path to be able to play higher notes much more easily.
