1. Flutes are in the key of C, meaning they are one of the easiest instruments to transpose on.
2. Music for flutes is written in the treble clef, and is stereotypically written with a lot of flourishes and technique, as this can be accomplished easily on the Flute.
3. The origin of the flute stems back approx. 30,000 years ago, but the first "real" flute was made about 5,000 years ago. It was carved out of bone, and looked more like a recorder. About 2,000 years later, China made the first flute that had to be held sideways. In the 1900's the first silver flute was made.
4. There are many different types of flutes, such being the piccolo (which range is one octave higher than your average flute), the Irish flute and the Penny Whistle. The most common flute is the soprano, but you may also come across an alto, tenor, bass or contrabass flute, although once you get to those last two, it becomes more of a rare sighting.
5. Flutes are used in Marching Bands, concert bands, small ensembles, as solo instruments or even in some orchestras. It is rare to see them used in jazz bands, but it has been done before. Another rare way of performing on the flute is called "beatbox flute", where the performer will beat box while playing a melody.

What sedimentary features can each be used to determine paleocurrent directions?
Sedimentary features such as cross-bedding, flute casts, and imbrication can be used to determine paleocurrent directions. Cross-bedding occurs when sediment layers are inclined in the direction of current flow, flute casts are erosional features that indicate current direction, and imbrication of clasts within a sedimentary bed can also show the direction of flow.
