My Flute (from Cailin's blog)

I have been playing the flute for about five months, and already I've gotten pretty good at it. I love the way the flute sounds, and there were people in church who had played the flute and it was a very pretty instrument. So, my mom got me a flute, and I learned how to play.Many people have thought that the flute has holes you cover up with your fingers, but that's not true. It has pads that you press down. Also, you don't have different pads for each note, there are multiple pads you must press down to make one note.

You might think it's easy to do the blowing part of it. Wrong. When I started, I couldn't blow a note at all! I whistled into it, and now when I try to do that, I can't.

The flute is separated into three parts. How else do you think it could fit in the flute case? There is the head joint, the part where the blowing hole is. I don't know if the hole you blow in is called the blowing hole. Then there is the part in the middle, where most of the pads are. Then, the tiny end piece. It has (I think) four pads. One of them, the first one, is the one you use almost just as often as the pads on the middle piece. There are two pads on the end that look like the ones on the middle piece. On some flutes, there are three of those pads.

I love the flute, I love to play it, and I know that it's a beautiful insrument.

And for the grand finally, it's ME playing the flute! (Probly my favorite song, 'March from Scripio.')
