In this weekly group class, students will learn to improve their playing through teacher demonstrations, guided warm-ups, and learning simple melodies. We will also work on basic music theory, scales, and terminology. 

Each week, our class will follow the basic structure below: 

GET TO KNOW YOU
We'll take time at the beginning of each class to get to know each other!
GUIDED WARM UP 
I'll guide students through a group warm up to get their best sound. 
TONE PRACTICE
We'll review the basics of a great tone on the flute
SCALES
We'll cover how to practice scales and where to start
FLUTE MUSIC!
Students will work through 1-3 songs per week based on the level of students in each section
WEEKLY CHALLENGE
Students will receive a weekly activity/challenge assigned by me to improve their playing
MUSIC THEORY
We will learn parts of the flute, basic music theory terminology, and improve note reading fluency (or learn this skill for the first time)

Materials: (optional) Pneumo Pro Wind Director, (required) Blocki Flute Method Book 1 Student Book

Students can expect to play individually back and forth with the teacher, play together while muted or lead the class while they are muted, learn level appropriate songs together, clap and count rhythms, play note reading games to improve fluency, perform for each other (not required), learn about the parts of the flute and how to take care of our flutes, and more! 

**This class is ideal for brand new beginners through intermediate level students. Students may be transferred to the most appropriate section based on ability after their first class (for example, brand new beginners working on making a sound and reading notes on the staff for the first time will be placed together, while students who are able to perform songs within a full octave will be grouped together in another section).
