Playing the 2nd Note in a G Flat Flute Scale

The second note in the G flat major scale is A flat. Let's look at A flat on the staff. Here it is A flat, A flat. On the flute we play the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and the pinkie key as well as thumb in the left hand. In the right hand we use just the pinkie key. This is how it sounds. Let's review the fingerings we have 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, thumb on the left hand. We have pinkie on the right hand. Starting the scale from the beginning again let's review we have G flat which is fingered as such and moves up to A flat. This is a whole step. Let me play how this sounds. A flat is the second note.
