If you blow with faster air, you'll probably have an easier time playing higher notes. Slower air makes it easier to hit low notes. I'm a brass player but this is what I've heard my band teacher say to our flutes a lot.

What wind instruments look like?
In one word, wind instruments look like 'pipes'. They produce sound when air is blown into the instrument. There are wind instruments with no reeds, single reed and double reed.
What do wind instruments and wind instruments have in common in how they produce sound?
Wind instruments use air to create vibration which creates sound. Percussion instruments create sound through striking a Stretched membrane which produces sound or by the vibration of the instrument as a whole.
Is brass part of the wind family?
Yes; any instruments in which the players force air through are wind instruments. The brass family is may also be referred to as the "brasswind" family of instruments.
What do woodwind and brass instruments have in common?
To play it, you have to put air through it.
What are the similarities and differences between wind and brass instruments?
One difference is that woodwind instruments use a wooden reed to form the mouthpiece. The reed sits at the back of the mouthpiece (on the bottom lip) and vibrates against the rest of the mouthpiece to help create the sound. Brass and woodwind instruments are both played by blowing into them (or over them in the case of the flute). Brass instruments do not have any moving parts that vibrate to create a sound. They merely amplify the sound created by the players lips vibrating. Woodwind instruments have a reed that vibrates except for the flute which splits a column of air to make vibrations. Brass instruments change their pitch by changing the length of tubing which the air passes through. Woodwind instruments change their pitch by changing the where the air escapes from the instrument.
Why does shorter instruments have a higher pitch?
There is a shorter colume of vibrating air in these instruments.
How does wind sound?
Wind instruments convert a moving column of air into sound, whether the air comes from the player's lungs or an external device. This category of instruments extends far beyond the familiar brasses and woodwinds of the orchestra to include harmonicas, accordions and Bagpipes, all of which use unconventional methods of setting air into motion. For traditional wind instruments, however, players use their own lips and lungs to control the passage of air through the instrument, and in some cases the pitch as well.

What is the difference between wind and percussion instruments?
wind instruments are commonly called organ pipes they produce sound when air is blown through them where as percussion instruments produce sound by tapping sharply or striking
What do woodwind and brass instruments have in common?
To play it, you have to put air through it.
How do you change pitch of a note?
You change the pitch by lengthening or shortening the vibrating string, or column of air that is producing the sound. Can be done by fingers against a string (stringed instruments), plucking or hammering shorter or longer strings (piano/harpsichord/harp) opening or covering holes (woodwinds) or changing the length of tubing (brass instruments).

What are two ways to change the pitch by a wind instrument?
Pulling out and pushing in the mouthpiece/head joint, and blowing faster or slower air through the instrument.
What are the basic weather parameters and the instruments used?
The basic weather parameters and instruments used consist of a barometer to measure air pressure and a wind vane to measure the speed of the wind. Other instruments used include a thermometer and rain gauge.
What is caused by change in air temperature?
Evaporation Fog Wind Precipitation
