Getting started with the flute

On the flute, your first goal is a clear tone. It comes from how you blow across the lip plate, not from blowing hard. Once the tone is there, the fingerings follow. tonestro shows you right away whether your note was in tune and in time.

Practice a few minutes on most days and take short breaks. Slow a passage down first, then play it at full speed.
