Video Transcript

"Now I'm going to show you how to get a B flat which is a really cool note to play if you are playing in the key of F, which is the relative major of D minor. You can start on D (flute sound); here is an F (flute sound); here is a G (flute sound); here is an A (flute sound); and here is a B flat (flute sound). The B flat is attained by playing an A, which is the back hole and the first hole covered and then by covering the bottom hole, leaving the middle two holes open you will find B flat (flute sound). There is your B flat right there. That is how you find B flat."
