Flutes were known to exist in ancient civilizations. Over the years, they have been made of wood or metal. Early flutes, such as recorders, are played pointing forward. The other type of Flute, called a transverse flute until the mid-1800s, is played to the side.
In 1847, Theobald Boehm designed the modern flute. This flute is capable of playing with more volume than older flute. The keys Mr. Boehm added also allow the instrument to play a full chromatic scale, and help it to play better in tune.
The flute family includes the C Flute (the most common), C Piccolo, Alto and Bass Flutes. As the highest pitched members of the concert band, marching band and orchestra, flutes play melodies, harmonies and solos, and are important members of the woodwind family.
J.S. Bach, Claude Debussy and Ralph Vaughan Williams are important composers who have written music for the flute. Some famous flute perfomrers are Louis Moyse and James Galway.
