My flute teacher wants me to play with more staccato and as loud as I can, but when I try to do it loud my flute squeaks horribly! Any tips on how to play it loud without it squeaking?

Thank you for replies.

I do find it is slightly better if I continuously drink water between playing (which you would think would produce more dribble wouldn't you!)

Hello Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do if, in the middle of a piece, your flute becomes full of dribble and you play but no sound comes out? Is there a quick way to get rid of the dribble and keep playing? I'm playing in a concert soon and can't stop in the middle of a piece to get rid...
