How do you actually make sound come out of a flute?

Embouchure is your mouth's position on the mouthpiece of the instrument. A good embouchure takes time and effort, so carefully follow these steps to success: 1.) Hold the closed end of the head join in your left hand. Cover the open end with the palm of your right hand. 2.) Rest the embouchure plate on your bottom lip. Center the embouchure hole on the center of your lips. Check by touching the embouchure hole with the tip of your tongue. 3.) Gently role the head joint forward so that approximately 1/4 of the embouchure hole is covered by the lower lip. 4.) Keep upper and lower teeth spaced slightly apart. 5.) Draw the corners of your mouth straight back and relax your lower lip. 5.) Make a small opening in the center of your lips. Blow air partly into and partly across the embouchure hole. 6.) Practice regularly in front of a mirror. Roll the head joint in or out to find the embouchure position that produces your best clear and full tone.
