Flute Lessons
Flute Lessons
Anyone can learn to play the flute! No prior music knowledge or piano background required. Children as young as 5 years old can learn to play the flute!
During flute lessons, we learn how to:
make a beautiful sound on our instrument
make different pitches using finger patterns.
read music on the treble staff.
read, play, and clap the rhythms found in music
play scales, studies, and pieces with and without piano accompaniment
play duets with other flutists
Choose your own adventure!
