This class is for the beginner on flute. The text used will be Flute 101, which is a unique and tested method for developing beginners. The unique part of this book is that early lessons have the student playing the instrument with their right hand on the barrel, giving the student greater control and helping them play the whole flute easily. We will cover lessons 1 - 3. In the first lesson, students will work on the headjoint only and breathing techniques. Lesson 1 teaches B, A, and G along with a review of the headjoint. Lesson 2 works on C and duets with all notes studied so far. Lesson 3 works on second octave C, B, A, and G. Teaching style uses powerpoint and teacher examples - teacher will play and then have students play individually and together. Students will play the duets and the teacher will play the teacher part. The class is structured as a five day class and the final class is a recital where all students play for each other and review what was learned the previous four days. Students will need a flute, music stand and Flute 101 (text).
Learning Goals
Students will learn the pages 1-10 in the Flute 101 method book. They will learn how to play the head joint, read treble clef notes B, A, G, and C and play simple duets together with the teacher. On the last day of class, students will present a piece learned from the week for the class and review what has been learned the previous four days.
