Beginner Flute Lesson 7 : Holding the flute (part 4)

Another detail to keep in mind is the flute, like virtually all wind instruments, is held by the fingertips, not the hand. We are used to grasping things, holding them in our hands with our fingers wrapped around them. This is not the case with your flute. The palms of your hands will not come in contact. Try to avoid the natural tendency to scrunch your palms up against the instrument.
