thank you so much, the hissing tip was fantastic I was struggly with the concept of incresing support and air spead, this made it totally intuitive!

Thank you, so you really do need to bring the jaw slightly forward, to get that middle register, is it that some notes are easier to get than others?😊

Yes, exactly that! And the more skilled you are, the more you notice this. Every different instrument has its own quirks. It's about refining YOUR playing to YOUR instrument. Good luck!

C and csharp been difficult after taking a long break for years. C sounds bit squashed at times

Do you mean in the middle register? Check that the flute isn't turned in towards your mouth too much. You want to keep the top lip well away from the hole. I hope that this helps 🙂

I'm sorry I didn't quite get the pro clip part. Could you please elaborate on that a little bit? 🙂

Ah- thanks for reaching out. The pneumo pro is an amazing tool that helps fix air speed/direction really quickly. Here’s the video showing you kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jrpxp65jzr-RnKc.htmlsi=OliJjePJ834cOjVq 😊

3rd register is super easy for me, and low is pretty easy, wish i had more volue, but the middle is wobbly in and out between 3rd or 1st

Keep working at it Daniel, it'll come! Just make sure that your jaw isn't tight and you can shift the direction of the air as well as the speed. 😊
