Playing
You can play a flute! Simple flutesÑfrom bamboo, wood, clay, metal,
plastic, and other materialsÑnot only sound beautiful, but theyÕre
easy, too.
For learning, a flute with six fingerholes is best. It should play a
major scale in tune for two full octaves. With such a flute and the in-
structions here, youÕll soon be playing simple songs.

The Sound
Getting a sound is easy!
Leave your fingers OFF the holes, for now. Rest your bottom lip
on the edge of the mouthhole and blow it like a pop bottle.
Make sure the mouthhole is pointed directly upward and that
youÕre holding your head straight up. Rest your bottom lip loosely on
the edgeÑnot pulled up, or curled under itself, or pressed down
hard against the flute. Press your lips together at the corners, leaving
a narrow opening at the front, centered on the mouthhole. Blow a
solid stream of air directly at the opposite edge of the hole. DonÕt lift
up your bottom lip as you blow!
If no sound comes, check your bottom lip to make sure youÕre
not pulling it up. Then rotate the flute to change the angle at which
your breath hits the edge. Also try varying the shape and pressure of
your blowing. Looking in a mirror will help.
If your lips get tired, take a break. DonÕt worry if you feel dizzy.
You just arenÕt used to breathing so deeply.
