What do I really need to play flute?

For starters a good quality working flute is required:)  A music stand is essential.  You don't have to go wild and get a really expensive one, however you want it sturdy enough so that it can hold your music books.  A folding stand is a good starter, however you may want to upgrade to a more sturdy stand once you know that learning music is something you want to do.  You will also need a pencil with eraser.  NO PENS!  Marking music is quite common and sometimes you want to change what you notated.  You will also need music.  Beginners usually start with a method book that teaches how to read the treble clef, rhythm, fingerings, and terminology that you will encounter in repertoire. A good LOUD metronome is also essential (though using it is even more important).  So to sum up:
Flute
Stand
Pencil
Method book/music
Metronome
