A noisy breath isn't always a breathing problem. Sometimes it's a tension problem.

In this lesson segment, Alexa Still shows how small physical habits in the neck, shoulders, and embouchure area can quietly interfere with a freer, more natural inhale.

Still connects anatomy to sound in a way that's easy to feel right away, helping flutists notice where unnecessary effort may be disrupting airflow.


Alongside the lesson segment, the PDF workbook gives you a simple way to reflect on these ideas and start applying them in your own playing.
