 Hi, 
What is Tremolo, what does it mean and how do you play it on the Flute?  I have never heard this term before. 
 
Thanks

 A tremolo is similar to a trill except the notes are not adjacent in the scale. 
 
For example, C to D is a trill but C to E would be a tremolo.

 A trill is usually written by putting tr over the note in the music. A tremolo is written by putting two notes side by side with one, two or three diagonal lines between them. The number of lines indicates how fast the alternation between notes.
