FULL NOTE POSITIONS

Sound is produced in the flute by manipulating your breath, and covering the holes of the flute with your fingers. There is no end to the number of sound that can be produced. The Note positions given here represent the standard set of sound options that can be played using the flute. Full note positons are those sounds that are produced by leaving the hole of the flute completely open or completely closed. Please do not confuse full notes to beats. Full notes here refer to the various hand positioning on the flute, that produces a particular sound.

Given below is a sample representation of flute:

You see the Mouth Piece, and first six holes of the flute. Hidden on the other side of the flute is another hole, the seventh hole, which is not so often used to produce sound.

a.)) Position Number Zero: When you play the flute without covering any of the holes(represented as 0 in the song script)

b')) Position Number One: When you play the flute covering only the first hole (represented as 1 in the song script)

c)) Position Numer Two: When you play the flute covering only the first and the second hole(represented as 2 in the song script)

d))Position Number Three: When you play the flute covering the first, second, third hole(represented as 3 in the song script)
