WINDEFENDER - Let The Flutes Be Heard!

Physical tension in your jaw, throat, or shoulders restricts your breathing and limits air support, which ultimately destroys your tone quality. Keep your throat open and relaxed to enhance the resonating space in your body.  

 Tip 3: The Rice Trick for a Perfect Aperture.  To practice forming the perfect embouchure, use a grain of raw, medium-grain rice. Place it on the tip of your tongue, push it up behind your lips, and blow it. This exercise teaches you to create the necessary small hole (aperture) for a good sound and efficient air use.

 Tip 4: Mind Your Neck: Bring the Flute to You!  When playing, focus on bringing the flute up to you, rather than sticking your head forward to reach the flute. Maintain a tall posture, like a ballet dancer, to save yourself pain and grief down the track. Ready to play your best?
