Low E on the Flute
Written E4. Tap the diagram to hear it.
E4
Beginner note
The right third finger comes up off low E-flat. Low E sags in pitch and goes breathy at soft dynamics, so keep the corners of the embouchure firm and the air moving steadily; if it jumps to the octave the air is too fast rather than too strong.
