Long Tones & Breathing
Double Tonguing
This section is meant as a resource for students and parents that wish to upgrade their instrument and accessories. Please note that no student will be denied the opportunity to perform with the EYHS band program because of the quality of their instrument. It is important that all students understand that proper care and maintenance of instruments is crucial to their function, not matter what the quality may be.
If you have the opportunity it is suggested that you try out different instruments to get an idea of how well the instrument works for you. What may be a good instrument for one player may not work well for another.
Open holed flutes are suggested for serious musicians, when possible use an offset G key as opposed to an inline G key to allow for a more natural hand position.
