Some kids do this quickly and pretty painlessly. You can recommend they go ahead and try playing without the plugs right away and see how they do. If you have a kid who has good basic hand positions where their fingers are gently curved and centered over the keys, the transition will be relatively quick and painless. What frequently happens when a student gets a step up instrument however, is they play their new flute with plugs in the holes and never fully make the transition to open holes.įirst off, let me say there really isn’t a right or wrong way to introduce playing with the holes open. They need a better headjoint to continue to develop their tone, a lighter mechanism for more technical facility and open holes both for sound and to be able to play more advanced literature. There comes a time for more ambitious young flute players when they need more flute than their beginner instrument can provide.
