Hey everyone,
I’m thinking about learning the flute as a music hobby. I’m a complete beginner but I really like its calm and soothing sound.

Do you think flute is a good instrument to start with for someone learning music casually? If anyone here has experience learning or playing flute, I’d love to hear how your journey was and whether it’s difficult for beginners or not.

Also, which flute would you recommend for a beginner? I’ve also seen the Krishnaflute online learning platform/course — is it actually good and worth it for beginners?

Would also appreciate suggestions for other budget-friendly online courses or YouTube channels. Thanks!

I have been trying to map with low to high pitch graph. Sometimes, I am close. But I miss so many notes in between. How do you find it?

(Not searching for copying someone's note kind of solution)

I recently bought c sharp carnatic flute and im not able figure out finger placement chart, I saw chart which are completely different from each other, can you help me figure out this?

Thank you

Hello I am begineer player. I bought a F# based flute (68.5cm) , it has usual 6 holes and a 7th hole to go a semitone lower.

I can reach the 6 holes fine after struggling a bit, but I am having a hard time reaching the 7th flute.

I listen to a lot of classical music on sitar and bansuri but I don’t get what is being played. How can a person who is not involved in playing any instrument or who does not have any knowledge of the classical music understand what is being played.

Can anyone help me with this doubt of mine?

Thanks,

Hello everyone,

I would like to start learning the flute. As a novice, I am looking for genuine advice on which flute to buy (like C, C#, G). I would like to play for a while with my beginner's flute and would like to know, what is the price range I am looking at to invest in the flute and learning resources. I would appreciate any leads.

Thank you so much.
