To play "Happy Birthday" on the flute, follow these steps:
1. Hold the flute correctly. Place the flute in your left hand with your index and middle fingers on the keys. Your right hand should be positioned just below the keys, with your fingers poised over the tone holes.
2. Blow into the flute. Start by blowing into the flute gently, using a steady stream of air. Increase the pressure of your air as you play higher notes.
3. Press down on the keys. To play a note, press down on the key that corresponds to that note. The keys for the notes in the "Happy Birthday" song are as follows:
