* The hardest part of the song has to be this low c note as it is really hard to hit on a flute without practice. If you're a beginner flute player having trouble hitting this low note try to practice going down the b flat concert scale and go as low as you can. Look up some tips and youtube videos that'll give some advice on how to hit the note. It is all in the embouchure, you want to aim for a relaxed embouchure and blowing very minimal amount of air, the harder you blow the higher the note will be (that's what she said). Honestly, it's all about practice and this song is a perfect song to practice going into the lower range of notes with a flute.
