Before trying to get the blow,you try to practice the fingering of each note atleast 50 times.
After finishing the above exercise, you may try blowing in the following way.

1.place the mouth hole of the flute below the centre point of your lips.
2Hold the flute horizontally like-------------------------------.
3.gently give the blow downwards into the mouth hole.
4.your blow must be very gentle and you should not exert much to get the sound.
5.take a pause for 10 minutes and repeat the above process.
6.you may not get the blow immediately.it took 7 days for me to get the sound.you may develop sensation of head ache,but it is only temporary.
8. in case you do not get the blow even after 7 days, do not get dispirited. You concentrate on fingering exercise as fingering is equally very important.
9. the blow tends to come bit late but once it has come, you are certain to develop faster.
All the very best.

You can also improve your blow as follows.

1. Open all the holes . 2. Place the mouth hole on the lower lip

2. Slowly try to give air down inside the hole.

3. Repeat the above process by first closing hole No.1.Next,

4. Close hole Nos 1 &2, and try blowing.

5. Then close 1, 2 & 3 and repeat the above steps.

6. Like this,you can try by closing one hole after another until you close
all the Seven holes. Afterwards, open one hole after another and blow.

All the very best.

co-operative bodies elections in tamilnadu

the announcement of elections to the co-operative bodies in tamil nadu is becoming a farce with reports of clashes within the alliance partners of UPA come trickling.AIADMK has done the wise thing by boycotting the elections thereby avoiding bloodshed.AIADMK knows for certain that it will not be allowed to win by the ruling DMK which will employ the same tricks which was employed by AIADMK when it was ruling

it is gratifying to note that the land prices are crashing.a flat or piece of land upto chengalpattu is no longer within the reach of salaried section.it is high time that the goverment sets in to control massive hike generated in land and flat costs by software professionals.people must also express unity in fighting the unreasonable cost in real estate by shunning to buy at any unreasonable cost.

the day is not far off when muthia muralidharan will finally overshadow legendary shane warne to become the highest wicket taker in test cricket.muthia's strike rate can only be compared to with that of batting prowess of legendary sir.don bradman.his record may not be unassailable in future but his bowling strike rate will never be eclipsed.
