To play the flute is easy. First, take just the head joint, which is the section you blow into and lay your lower lip over the edge of the mouth hole, and blow it like a pop bottle. If you are blowing produces no sound, assess your bottom lip to make ensure you are not unconsciously pulling it up. Keep rotating the flute to verify the angle at which your breath hits the blowing edge. In addition, try varying the shape and pressure of your blowing, and how far your lower lip extends over the hole. Then finally, rhythmically close and open the key holes according to the tune you intend to play.
