I believe that one is supposed to complete a singing quest so as to gain access to flutes.
This was probably a joke, but: This strikes me as not much better. It's still "I have to do something largely unrelated before I can do what I actually wanted to do." Imagine you had a flute-playing competition, but only those who were also good singers could enter! The best specialized flute-players might not be able to enter at all.
Then you don't have to sing. But you do have to do something else. Or if all you want to do is play the flute, then you get a flute at the beginning and all your other rewards come from flute-playing. The rules of the universe can be adapted to individuals without being chosen by individuals.
I adore the phrase "gain access to flutes" and I have no idea why.
This one time in a band camp...
I think it's about time I actually watched that movie.
Alternatively, visit the ancient order of music monks who, after completing a series of arbitrarily difficult challenges, will reward you with a flute.
What if the monks fail to complete the series of arbitrary difficult challenges?
