Consider paying for lessons from a good private flute teacher. Ask your band director or a music shop employee about it (towards the beginning of the school year, if you are in school). This resource will be very useful as you learn to play and advance to higher levels.

Assemble the flute. Insert the open end of the head joint into the wider end of the body (usually closest to the printed brand name of the instrument). Align the embouchure hole with the first key on the body. Don't push the head joint in all the way, keep it out a little bit; it will be more in tune. Take the foot joint from the case and connect it to the other end of the body. Align the main rod of the foot joint with the last key of the body. Adjust the alignment if needed.
