Question:

Is the flute easy to get down?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: It is harder to begin on a flute than most other instruments, however, I am not sure that it is "easy to get down." In order to become a great musician on any instrument requires time, patience, a great deal of practice, and a desire to be great. It is always a good idea to find a private instructor to help with any "problems" that may arise no matter if it is your first year or tenth year.
