1 Flute Beginning Band Primer Part 1 1 by Mike Davies

2 Flute: The Basics Putting Instrument Together: Step 1: q Open case right side up. Step 2: q Put head joint into middle joint with a gentle twisting motion. Step 3: q Line up the embouchure hole with the center of the tone holes. Step 4: q Hold the assembled head and middle joints and gently twist on the foot joint. Step 5: q Line up the foot joint so that the rod is centered with the tone holes. q I have reviewed all of the steps for Putting Instrument Together. Holding the Instrument: Step 1: q Sit straight up in chair. q Left foot slightly forward. q Both feet on floor. Step 2: q Make a C with left hand to for a support for the flute. q Face C toward your body. q Rest flute on thumb. q Center left thumb on long straight key. q Locate Home Keys for fingers. Step 3: q Make a letter C with right hand to for a support for the flute. q Face C away from body. q Rest flute on thumb. q Locate Home Keys for right fingers. Step 4: q Find elbow position. Left elbow square. Right elbow out. q I have reviewed all of the steps for Holding Instrument. 2

3 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. Instrument Care: Step 1: q After playing your flute dry the inside using soft cloth over a cleaning rod. Step 2: q Shake water out of head joint q Wipe off any excess moisture. Step 3: q Wipe 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. 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. 3

12 The Staff And Clefs Example 1 The Staff: The next step in reading music is understanding how the staff is used. 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 inbetween the lines in a space. 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, 12

13 Line Names, Space Names and Ledger Lines Example 4 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. Line Names Space Names Every Good Boy Does Fine F A C E Example 5 G D A C B B Ledger Lines - are Names of the lines and spaces above and below the 5 line staff. 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. Measure numbers Beats Three Note Review Bar-lines Double Bar - The End

19 Bonus: Write in the note names for Treble Clef 19

20 Melody From Lightly Row Putting It All Together - Reading Music Remember 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. Repeats: Using 1st and 2nd Ending 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. Jingle Bells 20
