Flute

Things to consider in choosing to play the flute:  

• Arms and fingers are long enough to hold the instrument and cover the keys correctly

• Upper lip characteristics are conducive to a proper flute embouchure

  • A short upper lip, or a “teardrop” lip make it very difficult to form a correct embouchure

• For some students, braces are a hindrance to forming a correct embouchure

• A clear tone is easily produced on the head joint

• Small motor coordination is important

• Work habits are strong, and achievement is high

Materials you will need: 

• Flute

• Cleaning rod 

• Cleaning cloth

• Method Book - Essential Elements for Band, Book 1. This can be purchased at a music store or ordered online. Make sure the book says Flute in the upper right hand corner of the cover.
