All of these are made by using your uvula.It’s going to take practice anyway you look at it. It is not an easy concept for some people.

Zinn Practice Regimen for Flute
Inspired by Dann Zinn, professor at Cal State Hayward. When Dan took over saxophone at CSUH, he jotted down on a piece of paper what he wanted me to practice, and this is the result. I liked the ideas in there so much I did it for flute as well.Starts off with chromatic scale, followed by intervals, major scales, minor scales, thirds, fourths. Ruthless, but it will make you play better!
