Okay! Imagine a flute is like a magic tube that makes music. When you blow into it, the air moves inside the tube. Now, this magic tube has some little holes in it. These holes are important because they help change the sound that the flute makes.

Think about it like this: If you have a straw and you cover the end with your finger, what happens when you try to blow through it? It makes a different sound, right? The same thing happens with a flute!

When you cover a hole on the flute, you can change how the air moves inside. If you cover different holes, the flute will play different notes, which are like different musical sounds. Each hole is like a special button that tells the flute to play something new!

So, to make music, a flutist (that's the person who plays the flute) will cover certain holes with their fingers while blowing air. This makes different sounds depending on which holes are covered. It's like making a song using a secret code!

So remember, the more holes you cover or leave open, the more the flute's sound will change!
