 Any combination involving the 4th finger is always a bit tricky, as it's the weakest and least independent of all fingers. Here's a visualization I like to do - I think of "extending my 4th finger", imagining they're longer than they actually are, as a way to give attention. When they're tense, the fingers curl up and "become short", this is where I find myself GRABBING the flute, which is not desired. Imagining them "LONG" helps me to relax and also helps to accommodate that big stretch between the finger holes. So the next time you have a thorny passage coming up with G#s, Fnaturals etc., make that 4th finger LOOONG👌
