Of course it's not against the lower teeth. The tongue is completely relaxed, just let him stay there by himself. It's the lower lip that has to be pressed against the lower teeth. And it's got to be snug. However, if you learn it later, you will find that after blowing out warm air, your mouth must be opened very wide, like singing, and then it is almost impossible for the tongue to touch the teeth. Not even the upper teeth. Putting your tongue against your teeth makes your throat tense. Your breath is coming out too fast, either you are blowing too hard or you are not breathing through your abdomen or you are doing both. For the mouthpiece, that doesn't affect how much air is coming out. Blowing too hard is obviously because you are blowing very little breath into the holes of the flute, causing you to realize that if you don't blow more, it's as if you won't be able to pronounce the sound at all. And the second one, the most most likely reason. Not being able to use your breath is a common problem for many untrained students, using chest breathing. Due to the restriction of the upper part of the chest by the ribs, you can't inhale enough air.
