Hey guys, I have played back my flute not long ago and I find it hard to play major skills without breaking down.

I can't hold a note as long as you do, I think I am really week in breathing and etc.


Can anybody help me here? Teach me some ways to practice holding long notes?

A teacher that sees you play in person would be the best one to tell you what to do. If you are a beginner maybe you are using more air then necessary when blowing.

And welcome to the forum, of course!

So when we are blowing the flute, the air are suppose to go straight too?

My band teacher has us do this exercise everyday. First you loosen every part of your body up so you have no tension for the breathing. Then you breathe in for four beats with your mouth in an O shape and then breathe out for four beats with your mouth in the position you would play in or in an O depending on the instrument. When you can do that comfortably the you can breathe for 4 and out for 5, then 6 and so on up to 20 beats. If you do this everyday then it will take 2 months do learn to do it comfortably. Another thing is to do the same as above but only in for 3,2,or 1 beats. Let me know how it works or if you understand my instructions.

Hey thanks for that, I am going to join a band soon next year.
I'm going to start practicing and thanks for those infos.
I understood it and it really helps .
