They change the flow of air in the instrument and thereby raise or lower the pitch.

What are all of the flute notes?

The flute notes are divided into three groupings or ‘registers’ – cleverly named low, middle and high. Each register has its characteristic tone. A combination of varying airspeed and embouchure shape is the key to moving between these octaves, and keeping quality sound. The three octave range of notes of a flute.

What is the highest note on the flute?

The “official” highest note of a standard flute is the C, three octaves above middle C (called “4th octave C” if counting from where the flute starts, “7th octave C” on the piano), though it is possible to play notes higher than it.

How many notes does the flute have?

If you have a regular (standard student classical flute) C flute with a C foot joint and you travel chromatically upward through the 3 full octaves you’ll have 36 notes. If you have a B foot joint and use a few new fingerings to go above the 4th octave C, you’ll have around 38 + notes. Happy Counting!
