Flute#1 Putting the flute together

The flute is an easy instrument that, unlike the piano, you have to blow air into it . It has the same notes as a piano does and it has keypads you push on to make the sound. It consists of the head joint (part with hole), long section, and the pinkie/little finger section.

Putting your flute together

To put your flute together, you take the piece with the hole and connect it to the long piece with the metallic keys on it (the round metal pieces). Then you attach the short piece. 🌈

Great job ! You've just learned how to put your flute together.

Piano#1: Whatsa note? (Flute compatible)

The first thing with piano is that you need to know the key letters.
The first key on your piano or keyboard is the A Key. As you have now learned that the first is a letter , the other keys are letters too. There are seven letters, or notes, on a piano. The notes are a,b,c,d,e,f, and lastly, the letter g. It's kinda like singing the abc song and only going to g. 

  On a piano you'll find there are black keys and white keys. White keys are the keys that are just letters. But, Black keys are keys that consist of a sharp, which looks like a # (hashtag,number sign,pound sign,etc) and a flat , which looks like a skinny diagonal b. A lot of times when you hear songs on the radio the sounds that give the song pizazz are sharps and flats. The best way to find sharps and flats in music is to listen to Jazz or R&B music. 

Have fun with your music
