A4
Beginner note
Written A4 on the treble staff

Left first and second fingers with the E-flat key. This is the band's tuning note, and on flute it climbs as the player warms up and pushes more air — flatten it by rolling the headjoint slightly in or easing the air speed rather than pulling the headjoint out in the middle of a piece.
