Hand Posture
- Relax your hands.
- Practice playing imaginary finger cymbals to train your fingers not to put fingertips into holes.
- Allow your fingers to be nearly flat on the holes of your flute.
- Bend primarily at the third knuckle (the big knuckle).
- Keep your pinkie fingers relaxed (not curled up and tense) and in front of the flute as you play.
- Allow the flute to float in front of you.
