Learning to play the flute can seem like a daunting task, but it's simply a matter of mastering a few basic steps. Soon, you'll be able to play everything from baroque to jazz!

 

  1. First, you'll need to acquire a flute. It's not necessary to spend a lot of money. In fact, a good used beginner flute can be found for around one hundred dollars. Before purchasing the instrument, have it checked by a flute repair shop to be certain it doesn't have any major problems.
  2. Next, become familiar with your new flute. When you open the case, you'll see that the flute is in three pieces. The long, smooth section is the headjoint. It's closed on one end (the "cork"), with a round opening about one-quarter of the way down (the "embouchure"). The longer section with many keys is the body. The short section is the footjoint.
  3. You're ready to start playing! It's best to look in a mirror while learning these first steps. Take the headjoint out of the case. Hold it with your left hand. Put your lower lip on the wide side of the embouchure. Cover the open end of the headjoint with your right hand. Tuck in the corners of your mouth slightly and blow across the hole. If the flute produces a low, airy sound and there's a small, triangular patch of condensation on the opposite side of the embouchure, you've got it. If not, roll the headjoint slightly inward or outward and try again.

    Once you can easily do this, uncover the end of the flute. Tuck in the corners of your mouth a little more and blow a little harder. This makes a note that is an octave higher than the first. Do not puff your cheeks when you blow. The air should come from your diaphragm. Practice this for several days until you can easily make both notes....
