Fingering technique Whether the hand shape is correct and the fingers are flexible is the key to mastering the flute playing technique.

The fingering techniques of the flute are quite rich. In addition to the fingering transfer technology, there are single appoggiance, polyphonic appoggiance, ascending glide, gliding, ascending, descending, vibrato, hitting, sending and so on. Associated with mastering skilled finger skills. As the saying goes: "Mind and dexterity", whether the hand shape is correct and whether the fingers are flexible is the key to mastering the above techniques. When training, you must pay attention to the following points:

1. The middle part of the first segment of the finger has the most flesh and the most elastic part is called "finger belly". It must be developed from the beginning to use this most ideal part to press the hole. When opening the hole, do not lift your fingers too high (about a finger-thick height). Otherwise, the speed of the performance will be affected when changing fingers.
2. How to make your fingers flexible? The fingers and wrists must be relaxed when playing. Relax your hands and make them look like a half fist (that is, your fingers are slightly bent naturally), so that your fingers are always in a natural, relaxed state. When pressing the hole, it should also be loose and elastic, do not be tense or apply too much force, and avoid stiffness of the fingers which will affect the flexibility.
3. Although the thumb and little finger of both hands do not press the hole, they must support the body of the flute and cooperate actively.
4. Among the ten fingers, the flexibility of the ring finger is the worst, and the reaction is relatively slow. It is necessary to strengthen the practice to make the joints relaxed and flexible.
