How to Play E♭ on Flute
E♭ on the flute is written in the top space. It is the same note as D♯, so the fingering below works for both.
Concert pitch
E♭
Press: left thumb on the B key, left second finger, left third finger, right first finger, right second finger, right third finger and right pinky on the D♯ key.
Like low D♯, but lift the left index finger.
Nearby notes

Only the right pinky stays down; this note can sound weak, so keep the air focused.
D
Like low D, but lift the left index finger.
E
Uses the same fingering as low E; blow faster air.
F
Uses the same fingering as low F; blow faster air.
