Answer 1

High G - 123 no thumb / Pinky

A flat - 23Pinky / Pinky

A natural - 2 thumb / 1 Pinky

B flat - 1 thumb / 1, 1st trill Pinky

B natural - 13 thumb / 2nd trill Pinky

C natural - 123Pinky (no thumb ) / 1 (no Pinky )



That should do it, those are all the high notes left hand / right hand is how you read it.



Good Luck! I hope it sounds beautiful.

Answer 2

Hey!! What is it you're having trouble w/? Getting the notes out or the fingerings??



Fingerings-- http://www.fluteinfo.com/Fingering_chart/modern.php

This shows fingerings up to crazy high!



Getting the notes out--

Slowly work your way up from the c right above the staff. Play that one, then SLOWLY go up. Slowly add more and more air each time you go up another note. If you're only going up one note, you only need to add a little bit of air.



Also, you might consider playing it w/ a piccolo. Its up one octave and might be an easier choice, though the sound will not be quite the same.



Good luck!!!!

Your air stream coming from your lips must get smaller and have more force. At first you will play louder, but with practice you can play high notes very quietly. Most notes have the same fingering, but not all. You can usually use the same fingering even when there is an alternative finger position. Check out an instructional book. And practice, practice, practice. Just like anything else.

purchase a e book. (Essesntial components?) necessary components taught me the thank you to play snare drum in 2 weeks. (a pair errors. Snare technique is plenty extra variable than a flute's). that's stressful to tutor your self with out e book. do exactly that and go alongside with it. in case you're in basic terms before it, sightread till you are able to't go any extra with out messing up. necessary components is great for flute, it may inform you the thank you to pass up an octave.

on a wooden flute it is possible if you put your thumb over half of the hole
