Playing the First Note:

Step 1: q Using head joint only, shape your mouth by

saying the ”wee too”

Step 2:

q Place the head joint so that the edge of the embouchure hole is just below bottom lip.

q Part of the lower lip should rest against the lip plate.

q Cover 1/4 to 1/3 of the embouchure hole with lower lip.

Step 3: q Visualize the target for the air (half of

your airstream should go in the hole and half should go over the top of the hole).

q Aim your air stream to the target which is the embouchure hole.

Step 4: q Take a full breath of air and blow over the

hole while making a “Tuh” sound or “Puh” sound.

q If no sound, check to see if air stream is aimed at target.

Step 5: q After you have mastered this put the flute

together and repeat procedure with flute fully assembled.

q Don’t use up air too fast. q I have reviewed all of the steps for

Playing first note.

Instrument Care: Step 1:

qAfter playing your flute dry the inside using soft cloth over a cleaning rod.

Step 2: qShake water out of head joint qWipe off any excess moisture.

Step 3: qWipe outside of flute with a soft

cloth. Step 4:

q Return instrument to case and close latches.

q I have reviewed all of the steps for Instrument Care.

The Staff: The next step in reading music is understanding how the staff is used.

The Staff And Clefs

This set of 5 lines are used for writing the letter name of the note also known as the pitch name. The pitch names are based on the musical alphabet A B C D E F G.

The note heads are placed either on the line or in-between the lines in a space.

Example 1

Example 2

The Treble Clef: This symbol is also known as a treble clef (or G clef) and it is used to designate the note names on the lines and spaces for Flute, Clarinet, Alto Saxophone, Tenor Saxophone Trumpet, and Bells.

Example 3

The Bass Clef: This symbol is also known as a Bass clef (or F clef) and it is used to designate the note names on the lines and spaces for Trombone, Tuba, Bassoon, Cello and Bass,

�13

Line Names, Space Names and Ledger Lines

Notes have a letter name based on the musical alphabet of “A B C D E F G ” (remember that notes can have rhythm names too). The letter name depends on what line or space the note (note-head) is written on.

Example 4

EveryGood

BoyDoes

Fine

FA

CE

Line Names Space Names

D

G

C B

A B Ledger Lines - are Names of the lines and spaces above and below the 5 line staff.

Example 5

Example 6

The next step in reading music is reading the note rhythms on the lines and spaces of the staff. Don’t forget the other note reading symbols like Meter sign that tells how to divide and count the beat. Bar-lines divide the beats into groups of beats called measures. Measure numbers help us find our place, and the double bar-line is the end.

Putting It All Together - Reading MusicRemember that reading music is recognizing the note names on the lines and spaces. Reading music is also knowing when to play notes and how long to play the notes (Rhythm). Remember to play using good posture and proper technique.

1st and 2nd Ending - This is a type of repeat in which the the end of the musical phrase changes and the regular repeat won’t work. The notes in the 1st ending bracket “1st” ending are played and then on the repeat, the music skips to the “ 2nd ending”. The double bar repeat sing is used with the 1st ending bracket.
