To play different notes, you do different fingerings. The opening and closing of the buttons makes the length the air has to travel through the Flute shorter or longer, shorter being higher, longer being lower. But there's more to that than that. Also, to change the pitch of a note to make it more flat or sharp, you "roll in" or "roll out" at the mouth piece your mouth. It's typically not good to do that, since it messes up the tone quality. The best way is to drop your jaw to make flat and raise your jaw to make sharp. Not your head, just your jaw, though it helps to keep your head up the whole time.

∙ 13y agoIt depends on the kind of instrument. On brass instruments, you can move the slide that is closest to the mouthpiece. Pull it out to lower the pitch; push it in to raise it. On clarinets and flutes, you can pull out the mouthpiece.

∙ 16y agoto do it from the mind, you have to play it in pitch a lot. It will be hard if you don't have perfect pitch. to change pitch, on the flute, you pull out the head joint.

How do you change the loudness of flutes?
To soften the volume of the flute's sound, one must simply use less air. Changing the embouchure will only change the flute's pitch. To increase the volume, use more air. Open your throat and make sure you know the difference between more air and faster air. Faster air and a tighter embouchure will make the pitch higher, rather than louder.
