DHATTUSET is the most important lesson in the basic lessons.in learning the art of flute playing,it paves the way to adifferent stage.

Way of playing: this particular lesson shall be played in many ways. To start, play the lesson with 2 notes in one blowing. If you can play 2 notes freely, start with 4 notes in a blowing. After playing 4 notes in a blowing, try to play 8 notes in a blowing. Gradually you can play 8 notes in a blowing. Afterwards you play one line in one blowing. Later, you try to play 2 lines in one blowing. If you play this regularly, you will start to have enough power to play 5 lessons in one blowing. It will take sometime to play perfectly.
ADVANTAGES:THIS IS THE ONLY LESSON WHICH GIVES EVERYTHING IN PLAYING FLUTE.
1.CONTINUITY:IN THE BEGINNING, it will be a problem to play many notes in one blowing. But time goes on, you will get that. After this lesson, you can play about 100 notes in one blowing.2.once you concentrate on the blowing to play very long, automatically,the speed picks up. You will play very fast without strain. You will get fluency in fingering.3.this lesson is arranged in such away that you have to apply different force for different notes, the control over your blowing develops.
After this lesson, surely,you will be coming very close to music.
