try beraking the piece down by phrase, then practice each phase, getting faster and faster, then, once you've got each phrase up to speed link them together.

Answer 2

Try doing some finger exercises before you start playing. Then I agree with the answer above, break the music down into sections and practice the heck out of it until you remember it by heart, then move on to the next piece of music slowly. Good luck!

Answer 3

Along with the other advice given, keep your fingers closer to the pads. I remember when I first started playing the flute I would take my finger far away after each note. Does that make sense? Plus it just takes practice, practice, practice. Good luck!

Answer 4

you do no longer inevitably ought to apply a song extremely with flute in it. you will discover the sheet music to any song, and the vocal line would properly be performed on flute (it would ought to be taken up an octave, nevertheless)

Answer 5

This one time in band camp....lol, sorry I had to do it!
