Things always go wrong when your flute teacher is not there, don't they?
The Flute Technique Doctor cures these problems - and many others.
Are your flute problems like these?
1. The notes above D on the 4th line won't sound.
2. My tone is breathy and too soft.
3. I can't get bottom C.
4. I get confused with notes above the stave with lots of leger lines.
5. I have difficulty keeping in tune with other players.
6. I sound fine for about ten minutes and then can't get the sounds
at all.
 7.
My neck aches severely after I have been playing.

8. My right shoulder hurts after I have been playing for a while.
9. My top F sharp sometimes won't sound. The repairer says my
flute is definitely OK.
10. I can't get the notes above high C. (Altissimo register)
11. My high notes keep dropping an octave if I try to play softly.
12. No matter what I do my flute is out of tune.
13. I have difficulty getting my tongue and fingers to work together
in rapid staccato passages.
All these problems are answered
in the Flute Technique Doctor.
The authors have wide experience in overcoming wind instrument problems.
Their book also shows the correct way to hold the flute; how to form a
good, flexible and accurate embouchure; how to tongue; how to play high
notes softly and in tune; how to get and keep a good sound. In short,
how to play the flute.
