i have bought a flute a few days ago and i am going to learn to play flute.
after i bought the flute i tried to play it see if i could make a sound, but i tried over 10 minutes and it didn't sound at all, i don't know anything about flute.
can anyone help me with my problem, is it because i have very thick lips?my parents will be very dissapointed if i can not be able to learn flute and it costs them lots of money.
i am a player of piano and i also do theory, dose it help for learning flute?

It wil help once you have learned to get a sound out of your flute.
You will be able to read the music, so once you can play some note you will not have to learn how they look on the page.
You should also be able to tell if you go wrong and be able to play in tmie.

Once you get the hang on producing a sound you will find you can play tunes. It is starting off which is hard. You do not blow down the mouthpiece, but across the hole.

thanks a lot

Make sure you are blowing straight across and not downwards.

Yes it can be difficult in getting the sound in the beginning -_______-"

blow lightly
