Relax

Relax

Try to hold the flute in a relaxed manner. While placing your fingers completely over the holes is important, it can be beneficial to not grasp the flute too tight. With your fingers just placed laying on the holes it is possible to feel the air vibrations through the fingertips. Becoming more relaxed will also help the flow of your music. I like to have a nice relaxing cup of tea while playing. Although this does increase the likelyhood of wetting out the flute quicker.
