As a flute is a non-transposing instrument, you don't need to worry too much about 'concert pitch'. If you think of the piano being the decider of pitch. If you play a Bb on a non-transposing instrument, it will sound the same as a piano Bb, however on a transposing instrument, for example a clarinet, it would sound like a piano's Ab. If someone says 'play a Bb concert scale' it means play a Bb scale at 'concert pitch' (i.e. the pitch of a piano). This would mean a clarinet would play a C scale and it would sound like a concert Bb scale because it is a transposing instrument. For a flute, a 'Bb concert scale' would just be a Bb scale (i.e. Bb, C, D, Eb, F, G, A) A 'B concert scale' would just be a B scale (i.e. B, C#, D#, E, F#, G#, A#)
