The flute is played by blowing across the open hole in the mouthpiece , much like you might blow across the top of a bottle to make a sound. The air that goes into the instrument vibrates to produce the flute sound. To play sounds (notes) that are higher or lower, you release or depress the keys.

58Meet the InstrumentsThe SNARE DRUM is made of wood or metal. It has a drum head on both the top and bottom. It also has wire snares which lightly touch the bottom head. It is played by striking the top head with a stick. The head vibrates and sends the vibrations through the drum to the bottom head which also vibrates, causing the snares to vibrate and produce the snare drum sound.
