How to hold the instrument with proper hand, lip and finger posture will be demonstrated and explained in the first of the six lessons, along with the scales of D and G. Other basics that Steph addresses include: how to create space in a tune to breath, breath technique, articulation, ornamentation, flute maintenance and how to gain clarity of tone in both the high and low register.
