The Head Joint and Embouchure

Forming a Proper Embouchure (Video available on bandrox.com)

Before starting with your flute, it is important to know how to control the aiming of your air when you blow out a breath. Start with these two exercises:

Air Exercise #1

• Hold your left hand about a foot away from your face, palm facing toward you.• Raise your left arm so your lips are even with the spot between your elbow and your fingertips.• Take a full breath and blow air up and down your arm, without moving your head. • Move your jaw slightly outward to make the air go up.• Move your jaw slightly downward to make the air go down.

Air Exercise #2

• Rest your right hand index finger, between the first and second knuckles, under your lower lip.• Take a full breath and strongly whisper the word “Pooh.” Make sure the “P” sound is strong.• Whisper “Pooh” again, but keep blowing. Feel the air on your finger? Don’t puff your cheeks!

Now it’s time to make your first sound with your head joint. It is best to do this exercise while looking into a mirror so you can see your embouchure. Before opening your flute case, be sure that it is right side up. Carefully take out the head joint (it’s the only part without keys). Holding the head joint with both hands, place the lip plate of the head joint in the same spot under your lower lip where you put your index finger in the previous exercise. The head joint extends to your right. Your lower lip should stay soft and cover about one third of the embouchure hole.

• Take a full breath and strongly whisper the word “Pooh.” Make sure the “P” sound is strong.• Whisper “Pooh” again, but keep blowing and you should get a steady tone!• Make sure your aperture (the hole between your lips) is centered over the embouchure hole. • Once you can get a clear, steady tone every time, use “Tooh” instead of “Pooh.”

Flute Time!How to Assemble Your Flute (Video available on bandrox.com)

The flute is probably the most fragile of all the band instruments. It is easy to damage if you are not very careful when assembling and disassembling your flute. Always keep your flute in its case when you are not playing. Never put anything in your case that it was not designed to hold. The pressure from papers or music in your case can bend the rods and keys. If you have to set it down, put it on a flat surface with the keys facing up. Never leave it on a music stand. The flute is meant to fit together without using any grease. If you have difficulty fitting the sections together, use a dry cloth to clean the tenons and the sockets that the tenons fit into.

• Pick up the body of the flute by the edges, never by the keys. Hold the body vertically in your LEFT hand, placing your hand on the spot where you see the logo so that you don’t grab the keys.Keep your left hand in this spot during the whole assembly.

• Pick up the head joint in your RIGHT hand and place it into the body of the flute. Don’t push it all the way in; stop with about a quarter inch left to go. Line up the embouchure hole of the head joint with the keys of the body so that they are in line.

• Next, pick up the foot joint with your RIGHT hand. Turn the foot joint around and gently slide it down in your hand until you are closing the two large keys with your palm. It is very important that you put your THUMB UP above the keys and not around the bottom. This makes it so you don’t bend the large keys below your palm. Line up the long rod of the foot with the center of the keys on the body.

You disassemble the flute exactly the same way, but in reverse order.

How to Hold Your Flute (Video available on bandrox.com):

This is much easier to see than to read in words. Watch the video and pay close attention in class. Your lip goes in the same spot it did when you used just the head joint, and the rest of the flute extends out to the right.

Your left hand always faces towards you. Rest the flute on the lowest section of the outside of your left hand’s index finger. Your finger touches the flute body between the two topmost keys and supports the flute from below. On the top of the flute, place your left hand index finger on the 2nd key, your middle finger on the 4th key and your ring finger on the 5th key. Your pinky will hang just above the side, curved-shaped key, and your thumb rests on the long key underneath the flute.

Your right hand always faces away from you. Place your index, middle and ring fingers on each of the last three keys found on the body of the flute (don’t count the keys on the foot joint). Your pinky rests on the first key of the foot joint. The pad of your right thumb goes under the flute directly below your index finger. Your right hand fingers curve naturally around the flute to rest on the keys. Your hand should be relaxed and curved like you are holding a tennis ball or forming the letter “C.”

The Treble Clef Staff

The musical alphabet uses only the letters ABCDEFG. When you reach the letter G, you start over with A. The diagrams below show the same thing in two different ways. To read music, you need to memorize the lines and spaces.

The first diagram shows the traditional method of learning the lines and spaces. The four spaces within the staff spell the word FACE. It’s easy if you think of SPACE-FACE! The lines, from bottom to top, can make a phrase like “Every Good Boy Does Fine.” Can you create another phrase using EGBDF?

The second diagram shows the same letter names for the lines and spaces as the first diagram. When moving up the staff from line to space, you will notice that the letters are in alphabetical order. When a note is too low or too high to fit on the staff, short lines are added to extend the staff. These are called ledger lines.
