Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Usually it is a matter of air control combined with embouchure!.
Try using more air, faster air, slower air, but make sure you are using warm air!.
Secondly, make miniscule adjustments to your embouchure aperture and air direction!. Keep working at it, it takes a long time to get controll of a flute so don't be discouraged, keep working at it!Www@QuestionHome@Com

That is a really vague question, and you would probably be most helped by taking a lesson (or lessons) with a flute teacher in your area!. Depending on where you squeak when you play, it could be caused by blowing too wide or too small airstream, if you are rolled in too far (especially in the middle octave), if you blow to hard (higher and lower octaves), if you don't have proper posture, if your embrochure is too tight, etc!. Because there are a variety of possibilities, you should talk to a flute teacher in person to help you specifically!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Practice makes perfect!. However, for the time being, it helps to sit up straight, warm up before you play, and slide the head of your flute about half an inch out of the middle part!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

you just need to be calm and hols the flute steadily and every time you press the notes press them firm and hard and blow softly into the flute!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
