Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Do any of you have any tips on playing the flute? I can play well, but I just want to have some advice in my mind.

Tips: 1. Playing a flute is not like oh look I got the most expensive flute or any thing, it is about imagination and Creativity

2. When practicing don't act like oh I don't care, this is only practicing!!! Act like if you were on stage, and you were performing.

3. Feel Confident

4. If you have any audition or anything that is 1 week or 2 days or something, when it is 2 days don't say I only have a little time, what is the use, say to yourself I A will make a big improvement on these 2 days. On the week side, don't say I have alot of time, when its time, you can get a 4 on being the stupidest!

These websites should help mostly the 2nd!

Good luck!

I am a professional flutist, teacher, and competition judge in NY. You say you play well - but what standard? Good for your grade in school? Because even at the professional level, there is ALWAYS room for improvement. A website that says they will *teach* you is a waste - they cannot teach you if they cannot HEAR you. Get a fine teacher - the best you can find. This will not be cheap - but quality never is.
