Q. Today is my 12th birthday, and I just got a flute. I already play at a /near/ professional level on my B Flat clarinet (according to my band instructor) and I can play the full range of it. Now I'm trying to learn how to play my silver flute, and I'm stuck. I don't know how to play the middle C or the B flat. Any help?
