Once you have made up your mind to go in for flute music for beginners, you should take that old flute out of your closet and hand it over to a qualified repair technician. You need to approach a good fluting with the same love and affection that some people have for old Swiss watches.
Also many old flutings have minute pad drips and shrunken bobbers, keys that are out of adaptation and moving parts that are twisted out of shape. It is almost impossible to learn anything worthwhile on such flutes.
A good local woodwind technician will service your fluting for less than $60 and save you months of trouble later on. It's easy to find one. Just call local fluting players and ask them for a good technician. Also you can get additional information like fluting lessons, fluting choirs, concerts by local or travelling artists and so on.
As soon as you get your fluting in safe shape, go to the next step, find a good teacher. You will find the number of a local conservatory or a community euphony in your phone book. Or you can get in touch with a college or a private school nearby which has a euphony program.
Or even better, call your local University's euphony Department. They will have a list of well-respected and experienced teachers . You can also go online and carry out a search for music teachers in your locality.
What is important to know is that flute music for beginners cannot be self-taught unless someone wants to make the errors that have been made by self-taught people over the last two hundred years. Those who have learned from books, CDs and videos have all the same bad habits. On your own, it might take you years to find out how to get from crescendo to forte without going sharp. A teacher can teach you that in 5 minutes flat.
