Do you ever feel like you’re practicing but not making the progress you hoped for? You’re not alone! In this episode, Rebecca Fuller from Learn Flute Online uncovers 5 common flute habits that secretly hold players back—plus exactly what to do instead.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:
Why rolling the flute inward makes your tone worse (even if it feels like it helps)
The posture mistake that leads to saggy tone and face tension
How to correct uncontrolled vibrato (yes, that goat-like sound has a name!)
The one fingering slip-up that makes your D and E♭ notes sound stuffy
Why “wiggling” your flute doesn’t actually fix your tone—and what to do instead
This episode is packed with practical, easy-to-understand strategies you can apply today—whether you’re a total beginner or a returning player.
