How you can distinguish trumpts from flutes?

Trumpets are entirely different from flutes. For starters, the trumpet is made of brass, while a flute is generally made from a silver alloy most of the time. A trumpet is played to the front, a flute is played to the side, the trumpet has valves and a big horn on the front, a flute is straight out to the side and has keys. The sound is entirely different. Just listen to some trumpet music and then flute music. I'm sure you'll hear the difference.

An Ab4 (the lowest Ab you can play on a regular flute) is fingered with your entire left hand plus your right pinky.

An Ab5 (an octave higher), is fingered the same way.

If you're feeling especially ambitious... The third register Ab (Ab6), is fingered the same as the last two, but without the left thumb and left index finger.

What is a picalo?

A piccolo is a smaller version of the flute, when all notes played sound an octave above the notes played on the flute. For example, if you were to play the third-line B-flat on the flute and on piccolo, it would sound an ovtave higher on the piccolo than on the flute, even though they are the same note. Most (if not all) of the fingering for notes is the same on both instruments, and it is incredibly easy to switch between the two--for example, I started playing flute in 5th grade, and started playing piccolo in the 7th grade, and would bring both to concerts and practices. Depending on the song and what our conductor wanted, I would either play flute or piccolo. I have found that songs for what our school called "Pep Band" or "marching band" usually called for me to play piccolo, while more concert type peices called for flute.

If you have a piccolo then can you use flute books?

You absolutely can! The flute and piccolo are in the same key (the key of C) so you can definitely use a flute book or sheet music to play the piccolo. The only differences you will find is that the piccolo is an octave higher, and the keys are closer together, but with practice, it will be similar.

A fun fact for you-- the piano is also in the key of C (I believe) so you can also play piano music on your flute or piccolo. I have done this, and the only semi-difficult thing is that when the piano score has chords, you have to choose which part of the chord you will play. If you have other flautists with you, you can each play a different part of the chord, and it sounds beautiful. Or, if you don't mind transposing the music for different instruments, and you have friends that play different instruments, you can play a beautiful duet, trio, quartet, etc. with your friends!

What is the difference between a regular flute and a jazz flute?
