Centre the flute and play “Mary had a little lamb”Īnd if a note is followed by a dot, it takes 1½ times as long, so this one takes 3 beats!Ĥ. Centre the flute and play “We will rock you”ģ. Do you have enough breath for a note of 8 beats? So there are long and short notes.Ī note with one flag takes only half a beat.Ī “rest” means that you’re silent. This turns them into one very long note of 8 beats. They are connected to each other, using a tie. The very first song will start with G, the lowest note in this scale.Ĥ/4 means that | there are | 4 beats | to the bar |Īlmost every note in this piece is 1 beat.Įxcept the last two notes, they take 4 beats. That way you won’t lose track easily.ĭuring this lesson our motto will be “Learn as you do”, so let’s get started. We use the first scale we encounter on the Magic Flute, “Scale Simple”.


This dot indicates how close you are to the center of the chosen note. Keep the flute horizontal and suck in lightly until two arrows appear in the display. To keep the Magic Flute well-centered, it’s important that, each time before you start playing, you briefly suck in air. Practice the following first, it’s very important In this workshop, we’ll start to play some simple songs.
