This is consider part of music, I mean the instrumentalist plays the instrument which brings the music written on a piece of paper to life!

I do. But I hate it sooooooooooo much.

It is hard and annoying, when the instructor yells at you for getting the wrong pitch.

me \o/

flute is a rather hard instrument to learn and master, but it's gorgeous once you get the hang of it.

um whats the lowest note you can play on the flute? I need it to make sure my composition isn't impossible to play.thanks! :heh:

the lowest i could remember playing was... maybe a D, but definitely a E on the first line from the bottom.

i play too but its just so hard to get the right notes sometimes... its just very frustrating.. but when youve actually accomplished it the feeling is great...

when i find some sheet music for flute i like to challenge myself to playing and actually keeping up with the actual song.. @_@ could be hard hitting the high notes though... blowing your brains out.. :heh:

I play flute and since I was THE ONLY boy at my school who plays flute every guy is trying to play it now ><. Its a fun instrument to play, but my favorite instrument to play is piano most definitely. The Grand Daddy of all instruments.

well... i totally dont think so&#33;
i play flute myself... anyway, i really realy like it&#39;s sound&#33;
~only play one note at a time
~fingurts wont get hurt
~not too much tricks... if you can master ur breath ... u have already gain 40% of the playing technique
40% left for ur lips
in order to get professional sound, you need a decent silver flute, no cheapo will work&#33;

piano is way harder&#33;&#33;... too many notes..... my brain just isn&#39;t fast enough...

violin is also harder
damn... it hurts...

guitar is also....
damn... it hurts...

I&#39;ve played the Flute over 6 years now. Now that I gave it to my brother, I forgot most of the low and high notes. And he did something to my Flute. He somehow did something to have air leaks, so I can&#39;t play the two most important notes, the F, E, and the D. AHHH&#33;

So, I decided to learn to play the piano by myself. Not that hard as I expected it to be. :) Lot harder than the Flute, but I like to challenge myself. I didnt&#39; start out with the primary pieces. My first piece was Yakusoku, still trying to master it, and then Fur Elise. Freak, Fur Elise is harder than Yakusoku.

I want to learn to play the cello. I just like the sound it emits. Not as high as the Violin and not as low as the Bass. Just right for me.

how long haf u been playin? Fur Elise (the whole song) is grade 7 piano, and the main part is around gr 3.. you&#39;re good if you&#39;re tryin 2 learn dat lol&#33; Anyway back to the topic.

I lOVE flute&#33; I&#39;ve been playing for a year and I joined band. I skipped beginner band cux I play piano too so it&#39;s just gettin technique on flute down. B4 I had trouble playing in pitch (squeeky), and last yr I practiced ALOT so I got rid of that problem. The lowest I can play is C (the one under the staff/mid C) and the highest is F (about 3 lines above staff?). I wanna continue on and take private lesson wen I&#39;m finished with high skool band. What lvls are dere, and about how long does it take to prepare for one grade?

I play the flute, lowest note? C nat., I need the foot joint to play the B nat. highest note is the B Flat I&#39;m trying to get to the D too though, for Flight of the Bumblebee. I&#39;ve been playing for 3 and a half years. First chair, first flute and have the tendency to annoy everyone around me (cuz of the picc hehe).

I also play the picc too, now that is one difficult instrument, I&#39;m learning Stars and Stripes and The Thunderer...I have a solo in S&S @.@ it&#39;s killing me. My coach always makes fun of me TT_TT cuz I sound really airy and I can&#39;t do trills and runs as fast as she can...damnit

The lowest note I can play is the middle C...

It&#39;s pretty funny when our director lectures us to not play our flutes pointing to the ground&#33; Cracks me up&#33;

Well, in our band class, I&#39;m thinking about switching from flute to french horn...We only have 2 horns and they are both leaving so I might as well give it a try...That would be awesome if I would be the only french horn in the band&#33;

french horn is fuuuun ^^ I tried it once messed up big time but it was still fun...

I&#39;m the Section leader for all the flutes so it&#39;s me who screams at everyone (and gives &#39;em push ups) when they don&#39;t hold their instruments up...hey&#33; the guard coach plays flute and always picks on me cuz I&#39;m section leader, if I have to suffer everyone does buahahaha~~&#33;&#33;&#33;

*crickets chirping*

...yea

I&#39;ve gotten to the point where I turn when we&#39;re playing and they bring their flutes up...and up...and up. So now instead of telling them "instruments up" it&#39;s "instruments down" :P

lol i realy dont no what you are talking about c nat b nat lool im french so i dont use the same note system as you lool the only thing that would help you is that i can do the lowes note that the normal fluta can go llol well bye

I&#39;ve been playing flute for four years and it&#39;s great. I&#39;m the first chair in my high school band and I also play piccolo, which is more annoying and harder than the flute. I used to blast it at the trumpet players when I thought they were too loud. That was really fun.

The lowest note a flute can play is one half-step below middle-c with a b-foot joint and with a foot joint on a student flute (most intermediate and professional flutes have the b-foot) a middle c. The highest note is (I think) the g above the c that&#39;s one octave higher than high c. But nobody goes that high. The highest most people ever play is an octave above high c.

It seems like I&#39;m a bit different from all of you guys. I mastered the flute very quickly (one reason because I also play piano). I know a lot ease of mastering has to do with mouth shape. If anyone wants, I can post some tips to playing...

well its the same thing for me but can you translate that the note&#39;s in french so that i can understand lool pz plz plz that would help me


but if any one no the french system i can go up to si bemol at the 3th octave and the lowes with intermediare flute do with the foot joint

Lmfao&#33; My music teacher does that, too. It&#39;s so funny, because when he does I hold it so the tip of the flute it facing the ceiling, and when I do that, well, I can still play. XD So it&#39;s just funny.

i am an amateur fluist...only played 2 years. I can play every note, but just never can get the quality out. Ah but if only i stayed as a fluist then i can probably play everything in the intermediate level. OH WELL

Neh, I wouldn&#39;t say EVERYNOTE is I were you...I can play quite high and quite low, but I haven&#39;t memorized past the high F; that, and my higher notes don&#39;t sound as graceful as I want them to, yet. ^^;; I&#39;ve been playing for four years. Woot&#33;

Well, I don&#39;t know the French system so I won&#39;t be any help there. In marching band and regular band, our teacher makes us keep our flutes straight so we always crach into each other. Not fun&#33; And I&#39;ve seen pros who don&#39;t hold their flutes like that&#33; AAR&#33;

To get better sounding high notes, relax your mouth/embrochure and just let the air shoot out. I&#39;ll just warn yo that it doesn&#39;t work for everyone.

I believe the actual word is flautist not fluist.

I used to play the violin and the piano, but I quit those and now I&#39;m just focusing on the flute. (I play 1st flute in both concert and marching.)

Well.... I find flutes among one of the easier instruments that I have tried (which includes clarinet, harp, piano, all the strings, saxophone, oboe). I love the tone that it produces and of course it&#39;s considered as an instrument&#33; :)
