A Flute method is a type of specific textbook-style pedagogy for learning to play the flute. It often contains fingering charts, scales , exercises, and occasionally etudes . These exercises are often presented in different keys in ascending order to aid in difficulty, known as methodical progression, or to focus on isolated aspects like ...
The flute is perhaps the oldest musical instrument, other than the human voice itself. There are very many flutes, both traversely blown and end-blown "fipple" flutes, currently produced which are not built on the Boehm model. The fingering system for the saxophone closely resembles the Boehm system.
In the Baroque period cross-fingering improved, allowing music in an increasing variety of keys, but in the Classical and Romantic periods flute design changes – particularly larger tone holes – made cross-fingering less practical, while mechanical keywork increasingly provided an easy alternative to playing chromatic notes without cross ...

A careful examination of the flute fingering for the notes D ♯ 6 through G ♯ 6 reveals that they are actually a combination of third and fourth harmonic fingerings. For example, the D ♯ fingering is like the low D ♯ 4 with the addition of the G ♯ key vented, for which D ♯ 6 is the third harmonic.

Virdung also provides the first ever fingering chart for a recorder with a range of an octave and a seventh, though he says that the bass had a range of only an octave and sixth. In his fingering chart, he numbers which fingers to lift rather than those to put down and, unlike in later charts, numbers them from bottom (1) to top (8).
It evolved from the baroque one key transverso flute. The four key flute preempted the five key, and it progressed through multiple keyed flutes. It uses the six-hole fingering system of the fife for its natural scale, with the metal keys adding the ability to play the full chromatic scale and therefore making it possible to play in any key.
