Need help from flute players!!! D:

Ok, so I am having issues. When I practice, the high notes come out crisp and clear, but when I'm playing the low notes....it sounds a little airy or muffled, not much though. But to me it sounds bad...is it my embochure? I mean the high notes come out nice...x3

I had the opposite problem. Try changing around your embochure until the low notes come out (maybe you should tighten it a bit to control the air flow better) Also try using a little less air when you play the low notes. Maybe try blowing the air a bit more into your flute rather than across (I'm not sure about that one, but it can't hurt to try it)

My teacher always tells me I have to open my throat, like when you're yawning. It seems you get a very clear sound when you do this.

@glacias thanks, I will try that 😸
