Student flute is the main high-pitched melodic instrument in modern orchestral and chamber music. It is divided into three types: clarinet, oboe and saxophone. The tube of the student flute is very thin, and the shape is a cylindrical long tube with several sound holes. There is a row of small holes on the inner wall of the tube, and there are reeds and bamboo springs in the holes.

The early student flute was ebony or coconut wood. Modern metal materials are mostly used, such as relatively low-grade brass, cupronickel, ordinary nickel-silver alloys to professional silver alloys, 9K, 14K, 18K, 20K, 24K gold and Platinum flute , etc.
The sound quality of student flute is dynamic and nice, and the sound is soft and melodious. It is more suitable for playing brisk and singing melody, or for playing brisk and slightly sad tunes.
The student flute tests the breath control of the player. It is necessary to find a suitable entry point to produce a near-perfect rhythm. Generally speaking, students with proper lips and neat teeth are better and have better lung capacity, so that it is easier to blow long notes and high notes.
