Well I can’t go to a real intructor for a couple of months, any tips on learning it? Its an Armstrong student flute. So far I can kinda play B, A, and G. They just don’t sound correct. Thanks.
Get yourself some method books for the Boehm flute. A really nice little one I started on years ago was a book called “How to Play the Flute” (unpretentious, don’t you think?) by a guy called Howard Harrison. Very strait-forward. There are many others out there that’ll give you tips on holding, embrouchure, fingerings, breath, etc. Then you can move to excersize books and simple tune books, also for instruction. Talk to a music book store person, or just flip through them yourself, to see what seems most comprehensive for you.
A Boehm flute is not made for traditional music, though it can be used effectively for it. But first get down the basics of how to make this type of flute to play best, then worry about what you plan on doing with it.
Good Luck,

It’s tough at the beginning, but it gets better. Jim
If you have a second hand flute, ask a teacher or experienced flautist to play it for you to check all the pads close properly…it would be awful if you struggled for a couple of months before going to lessons, then found out the flute isn’t closing as it should 
but my gut feeling tells me it is a new flute so you should be ok. A TUNE A DAY is a good book to begin with ( i am sure there are many others), it took me a long time to get a half decent tone out of my flute when i began playing, but all the time i ‘knew’ it would come one day as i could ‘hear’ the tone i wanted in my minds ear so had a goal to work for. I would give you a free lesson if you were nearby just to be sure you were on the right track, and you could pay later down the track. All the best ,anyway, it may be a little difficult at first, but when you make that first bit of progress you will be hooked !

If you can find a teacher, it will help you immensely, at least for the first 20 years or so. 
After that, something just “clicks” and it starts being second nature. Then the really difficult stuff starts. 
On the other hand, Ian Anderson taught himself.
On the third hand, i don’t know any other famous (metal) flute player who was self-taught.
OK, this is all true, but i don’t want to discourage you. Find a teacher, and in a few weeks you should be playing simple tunes. After the first week or two, it becomes much easier to produce the tone. The end of second octave and the third octave will take a little longer, maybe a couple of months or more, to start coming out naturally.
It’s nice to also have some bamboo flutes or such to carry with you and make noise. I found that approaching the flute as play is the best, don’t take it too seriously.
And listen to Jean-Pierre Rampal, the album “Le Flute D’Or” if you can get it, the track “Le Celebre Adagio”. It will make you feel very good that you picked up the flute; it’s a beautiful instrument, enormously expressive in its simplicity.
