The flute

Hi my name is Alicia at my school Hillsdale  public school  we are starting to play instrument`s  I am going to play the  flute and in this blog post I am going to tell you a few things about the flute . First of all if you did not know this, the flute is in the woodwinds instrument family . Secondly I numbered all the parts of the flute  at the bottom in the picture and now I will tell you all the different parts of the flute with the numbers . The first part is called the embouchure hole . The second part is called the head joint . The third part  is called the foot joint .The second last part  is called the E-flat key . And the last but not lest part is the  embouchure plate . Another thing about the flute is it plays on  the left clef . The flute was invented in 1847 by Theobald Boehm from Bavaria Germany . Another thing is the flute makes  a higher pitch but it also can make a mellow one . You can make a sound with the flute by blowing across a small hole at one end of the flute (the embouchure hole ). Also you assemble the flute  by holding the head joint in your left hand  and and the middle joint in your right hand . Then you carefully put the  head joint and the middle joint together and twist them .Make shure that the embouchure hole is directly in line with the middle joints keys . Then  you hold the middle joint in your left hand  and the head joint and then hold the foot joint in your right hand and put them in side each other and twist them carefully . The embouchure hole and all the keys have to line up in a straight line . You sterilize the mouth piece of the flute with dish soap  and water .One last thing is you maintain the flute before and after playing it by using the cleaning stick .
