 Clicky Keys on flute
Author: ~Heather ~

You know the two clicky keys that the right hand plays that is between the 1st/2nd octave F, E, and the D. Well when you play them like for example 4th octave Bb that the flute can play with the thumb key, right hand pointer finger and the clicky key right next to it, do i just slide my pointer finger over to play both keys or do I take my middle and play the clicky key? Because I have been using my middle finger to play the clicky key, but I saw someone playing it with there pointer. Please help and I hope make sense.

I use my middle finger like you do for the clicky key. I'm not sure exactly which finger you're supposed to use, i think it is the middle finger because I've never heard anyone tell me to use the same finger for both keys.
Just use your middlef inger or you can ask someone else; maybe your teacher or another flute player.
Hope this helps

My Professor says to use the middle fingure, becasue if you use the pointy fingure its hard to play fast passages. Hope this helps
