Dora Wang of the New Canadian Global Music Orchestra gives us an introductory lesson to the bamboo flute. She goes over embouchure, a simple scale, how to change your airstream to play in different octaves, and explains the different key flutes.

Dora started her musical journey with piano, but soon took on a variety of Chinese folk music instruments, including the bamboo flute (dizi). She also plays xiao and hulusi. When she came to Canada, she established an all-female mini-orchestra called "Melody of Bamboo Music".
