This class is a follow up to Part I of Beginning Flute Using the Young Flute Player.  This book emphasizes the low register of the flute, thus making it easier for beginners to start the flute at an early age.  The music includes familiar folk songs and pieces plus scales and arpeggios (usually in five note scales).  Part II will expand the student's knowledge of the F and G major scales.  Students will learn new time signatures such as 6/8 and new rhythms like sixteenth notes.

Students will work with me to learn the material that is covered in class  My typical class includes students reviewing older material and then listening to me play the new pieces and having the students play them as well.  I use music games from time to time to encourage students in learning the new concepts.  Students should plan on practicing between 10 to 15 minutes five days a week.  My teaching style aims to encourage students with positive comments and praise.  I believe that beginning an instrument is a new and hard experience and I want students to know they can do this with work, practice and time.  Students should have completed The Young Flute Player, Part I or have played flute for approximately three to six months.
