Flute Lessons

The flute is an instrument in the woodwind family, along with clarinet and saxophone. The flute is different from other woodwind instruments due to its sound production - the flute sounds by blowing air across an opening in the pipe, rather than with a wooden reed. Flutes are amongst the oldest types of instrument found in human history, and were made of bone or wood. Modern day flutes are typically made of metals, like aluminum, silver, and gold. Flute is a very soloistic instrument, and has a beautiful, shimmering sound that many listeners enjoy. Flute is a popular instrument in classical music, yet is played in many genres: From jazz, worship, and folk music to even rock and pop, the flute is a versatile instrument. There is a significant amount of repertoire for the flute, so there is always more to explore and learn!
