How To Bend A Flute Note

Video Transcript

"Probably been noticing bent notes here and there in my improvisations and wondering how one does that. So I'm going to show you here towards the end. This flute, it actually has a little extra hole down here you can even bend the bottom note. So you can do the bent notes two different ways. You can do it with your breath. I'm doing nothing more than just kind of tailing off my breathing. Or you can do it with the finger as I just showed you or you can do both. It's a little harder on the lowest note, because the breath pressure is less anyway and so if you don't have this extra holes it's hard to get much of a tailing off of the note with just your breath. But on all the rest of the notes it's pretty simple."
