Is the flute a poplular instrument?

Very. It is very popular for both marching and concert bands, as well as many orchestras. I happen to play the flute and love it very much. However, I will say that learning how to first play the flute can be tough, as the mouth positioning is unlike any other instrument (except piccolo). But the flute is a great instrument and if you want to play an instrument that can stand alone or be played in a group, it is a beautiful instrument to learn. Best of luck!
