In this 45 minute lesson, intermediate and advanced flute students will learn and practice the famous Flute and Piccolo solo from Sousas' "Stars and Stripes Forever" . Students can learn the piece by memory or read it from the sheet music provided in resources. We will start by recognizing the notes. Then will practice the rythm. After that we will practice the fingerings in the flute or piccolo and then each student will play a measure after I play it for them. We will alternate so that each one gets to play all the measures slowly one at the time, and after that will start doing two measures at the time and so on. We will address the challenges by using different practice techniques, such as changing the rythms of the notes or practicing with the Yo-yo technique. This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published before January 1, 1928.
Learning Goals
Students will learn Sousas' Stars and Stripes Forever flute and Piccolo solo.

Parental Guidance
I will be using the International Music Score Library Project free sheet music for the piece. It is up to the parents and student to decide if they want to learn it in the high or middle register of the flute. Once they pick the register we will choose the appropiate page ( Page 16 for high register, Page 17 for middle register).
