What You’ll Need

In order to play Alien Blues on the flute, you will need:
-A flute in good repair
-Flute sheet music for “Alien Blues”
-A metronome or some other form of steady beat-keeping device

With these three things in hand, you are ready to begin learning how to play “Alien Blues” on the flute.

Step One

First, print out the music for “Alien Blues.” You can use any number of different sites to find the music, but we recommend [Flute Notes](https://flutetunes.com) or [iHeartFlute](https://iheartflute.com). If you’re having trouble finding the music, try searching for “How to Play Alien Blues on the Flute” on your favorite search engine.

Once you have the music, take a look at the melody and familiarize yourself with it. Try singing it a few times to get a feel for the flow of the notes. Once you’re comfortable with the melody, it’s time to start playing it on your flute!

Step Two

Now that you have your flute, it’s time to start playing some music! But before you can start playing Alien Blues, you need to know how to hold the flute and how to produce a sound.

To hold the flute, first adjust the headjoint so that the embouchure hole is in line with your mouth. You may need to unscrew and remove the lip-plate to do this. Once the headjoint is in place, hold the flute with your left hand and support it against your chin. Use your right hand to cover the holes on the flute.

To produce a sound, blow gently across the embouchure hole. The air should flow across the hole and not directly into it. Experiment with different amounts of air and lip pressure until you find a sound that you like. You can also try covering and uncovering different combinations of holes to create different notes.

Step Three

Now that you have your flute and your sheet music, it’s time to start playing! In this section, we will go over how to play the basic notes of the song “Alien Blues” on the flute. This song is in the key of C, so we will be using the notes C, D, E, F, G, A, and B.

To start, let’s find the note C. The note C is located on the fourth hole from the top of the flute. To play this note, simply cover this hole with your finger and blow into the mouthpiece. You should hear a clear, high-pitched note.

Next, we will move on to the note D. The note D is located on the third hole from the top of the flute. To play this note, cover the third hole from the top with your finger and blow into the mouthpiece. You should hear a slightly lower-pitched note than you did for C.

Now we will move on to E. The note E is located on the second hole from the top of the flute. To play this note, cover only this second hole with your finger and blow into mouthpiece. You should hear a lower-pitched note than you did for D.

Step Four

Now that you have the basic music for Alien Blues down, you can start playing around with the tempo. Remember, the fourth and final step is to embellish the piece with your own personal style. Have fun with it!

Step Five

Now that you know the fingerings for the notes, you can begin to play them in rhythm. The rhythms in this song are all quarter notes, so each note gets one beat. Play each note four times in a row, then move on to the next note.

To make the music sound more interesting, try adding some vibrato on some of the notes. Vibrato is a rapid back-and-forth movement of the fingers on the hole. To do this, place your finger lightly over the hole, then quickly move your finger back and forth while keeping good contact with the hole. This will make the note waver in pitch, which sounds really cool!

Step Six

Now you will put everything you have learned together to play the full song. You should start by reviewing steps one through five. Be sure you can play each section before moving on. When you are ready, begin playing the piece from the beginning. Remember to focus on your breathing and keep a steady tempo. If you need to take a break, that is okay! Just pick up where you left off when you are ready. Congratulations, you have now learned how to play Alien Blues on the flute!

Conclusion

Now that you know the basics of playing Alien Blues on the flute, you can start practicing and perfecting your technique. Remember to keep your breathing steady and consistent, and practice regularly to maintain your skills. With time and practice, you’ll be playing like a pro in no time!
