Begin by just blowing into the hole (as you would blow into a milk bottle to produce a note) with the aim of producing long notes of consistant volume and quality. Practice this until a consistent note can be produced when required.
Once that is acheived, attach the other part of the instrument and practice until notes can be produced to the same consistancy.
Understanding of the musical scale will help with pitch recognition and the art of producing the correct note when required. Knowing the scale and understanding music theory will help with visualising the note in the mind before aiming to produce it, always a bonus with wind instruments.
Progress with wind instruments does go much quicker though if there's someone more experienced playing the same intrument. They'll provide real time examples of how it's done, answer questions (hopefully) and inspire progress.
Hope that helps
