If you have only just begun to play the bansuri, you may be unsure how to hold the flute. If you are right handed then you will use your left hand to cover the top 3 holes and your right hand will be used on the bottom of the flute. If you are left handed, you will do the opposite. In the pictures below, you will see that one player is left handed and the other right.
Now you are able to make a clean sound on the bansuri, the next step is to begin covering holes and playing notes. We will look at the names of notes in a bit but for now concentrate on getting a good sound by playing the notes below.
It is best at this stage to cover one hole at a time, beginning from the top hole nearest to the blowing hole and to give a good amount of time to each note, making each note as clear and pure as possible.
Begin covering holes in the following order from left to right. Note that the yellow hole on the chart represents the blowing hole so you do not need to take any notice of this when looking at the chart. White holes represent open holes and black holes represent holes covered with your finger. Many flutes also have a seventh hole but do not worry about this hole yet. You can play the flute perfectly well without using the 7th hole at all like Chaurasia.

note:
When you being covering the holes you may experience problems with the sound. This can be for various reasons: the main 2 reasons are usually due to their being a gap when you cover a hole; so the hole is not fully covered and there is a small amount of air seeping out. You can try using a mirror to check that the hole is completely covered. There must be no gaps!
The other reason may be because you need to spend more time practicing getting the smooth sound. Perhaps you are keen to play music and have not given yourself enough time to practice getting a good sound each time. If this is the case, go back to the first exercise without covering any holes.
The sound should get deeper as you cover the holes. If the sound becomes higher or screeches, then you are blowing too hard. for help watch the video . I am using E scale Flute .
