The flute produces a high, clear sound and is the most agile of the woodwinds. To play the flute you hold it sideways, set your lips as if you were about to whistle, and then blow across the air hole. Although the modern flute is made entirely of metal, the flute originally was fashioned from wood and is still considered a member of the woodwind family.

Here is a checklist of typical items you will need to get ready to play! Each
item already checked is included - at no charge - with your rental
or purchase from Schmidt's Music. You may also want to check with your music
teacher for any additional items he or she suggests:
- a cleaning rod
- a cleaning swab cloth
- your band method book
- a polish cloth
- a music stand
Some things to remember:
- Please keep your flute in its case when not in use.
- Please do not let anyone else play your flute.
- After each time you play, remove any collected moisture from inside the instrument with your cleaning rod and cleaning swab cloth. Swab each joint separately, taking care not to bump the far inside end of the headjoint with the cleaning rod. Then wipe off the outside of your flute with your polish cloth
- Remember, practice is an essential part of playing an instrument. Give it
your best, and you will be amazed how rapidly you progress!
