Tips for playing D5
Same fingering as D4, one octave higher. Use faster, more focused air and aim it slightly higher. Thumb and all six fingers down, with your pinky off every foot key. This is the fingering the rest of the flute is built around.
Higher notes come from your air, not from squeezing the keys. Keep your fingers relaxed, blow a faster, narrower stream of air and check your tuning with a tuner or a piano.
