The Flute

THE FLUTE
 

The flute is the smallest and highest pitched beginning band instrument. It is a member of the woodwind family even though it is made of metal and doesn’t use a reed to create the sound. In order to produce a tone on the flute, the player blows across the tone hole of the mouthpiece, allowing the air to split at the far edge of the hole. That creates a whistle sound. It uses the same principle as a whistle or blowing across a soda bottle. 

​

Flutes play a critical role in bands, symphony orchestras, marching bands and small instrumental groups.

​

This instrument is for boy or girl, big or small! Mrs. Konzelman teaches this class at both Butterfield Trail Middle School & Northridge Middle School.
