Question:

I am in 7th grade and in orchestra i have a flute ( I don't know how to play it though) my band teacher...

is going to kill me since i am in Orchestra i know all the time signatures, beats, rests measure, the list could go on and on but i don't know the fingering chart and how to play the notes.... I am expected to know the notes and how they work... In 6th grade we started band and in the beginning i played the clarinet and i got bored with that so i switched to flute and my band teacher agreed because we didn't have alot of flute players.. It is not an option to quit because we have paided for it.... My parents don't know that i am writing this right now and they do not know that their daughter does not know how to play a flute...Give me some advice because when ever i think about my flute or my band teacher name i am about to puke!!

My mom was glad that i started it on day 1 but as it progressed they didn't buy me the stuff that i needed... books, lessons accesories... my dad asked me if i played the clarinet still that was like a year ago and he stills does not notice. I asked my mom the book that i needed i also gave her the description, ( blue line, essintial elements spelled wrong) and guess what she got me a violin book.... :(:( very sad and she said that she would return the book that was like a month ago and she still has not returned it UNBELIEVEABLE!
