Some Guides that come in handy for Flautists:
This site just has your basic flute fingerings on it
This is a trill chart for flute and piccolo that covers all octaves and offers alternate ways to trill in order to find the one with the best sound.
There are also links for fingering charts and online metronomes on Marching Dragons that Mr. White has put there.
Tips for Getting in Tune:
(these are pretty basic, but I know that I get them mixed up sometimes, so I figured I should post them. Especially since flutes tend to be out of tune quite a bit and the effect is definately not pleasant, ie: horrible screeching sounds)
Sharp: When the pitch of what you are playing is a bit higher than the proper note.
How to Fix: Try pulling your headjoint out. Roll in while playing.
Flat: When the pitch of what you are playing is a bit lower than the proper note
How to Fix: Try pushing your headjoint in more. Roll out while playing.
Can't tell if you're sharp or flat? Just ask someone around you to help. Always listen to the other flutes/piccs when playing together and constantly adjust.
