The Flute actually requires a lot of air. Even more than a Tuba! This is because unlike the Clarinet, Saxophone, Oboe, Bassoon and the Brass, we do not have any resistance on our air. The reed or mouthpiece prevent the flow of excess air, and the Flute is open to the air so air is let out quite freely and breath control is needed to be learnt.

You blow across the hole in the mouthpiece.

breathe though your stomach, and don't let all your air out at once. Keep doing this and soon you'll be able to hold out a note for a long time.
