That's awesome to hear! I actually have a doublers course inside The Flute Academy that you would have instant access upon joining in case you're interested. 😀 www.flute.school/academy
deciding what instrument i want to play for band this year (i’m a beginner and i’ve never played anything in my life but the flute has always interested me) and this video seems quite helpful! if i do end up choosing flute i’ll definitely come to your videos :)
Pizza, that's great that you are choosing an instrument this year! The advantage of the flute is that it's compact (and sounds great of course!), the advantage of another less-common instrument (like oboe, trombone, french horn) is that you'll be in demand as a player when you get good! Best of luck with whatever you choose!
I’ve played clarinet, and I’m trying flute on my extra time! I do clarinet for band, and bass clarinet for jazz. Flute seems fun! It won’t be my main focus, but I’ll do your course probably!
That's awesome! The one thing I would suggest is to remember to use less air for flute. Clarinet you need a lot more as there is resistance, but flute has none, so remember to be gentle with your airstream in comparison to Clarinet! 😀 Here's a link to my free 3 day tiny course on tone to help you get started! www.flute.school/free
Hi again Jane thanks for the quick response!!! Is there anyone online that you can recommend for beginners??? Cause like you said the teacher is so very important!!! I love your basic flute style teachings … Thanks again
Hi Mothergoose! I hope your flute playing is going well! The Flute Academy is not for total beginners but if you can play a few scales and pieces, you're definitely at the right level to join. You definitely don't need to be an advanced player! Here's the link to The Flute Academy in case you're interested. www.flute.school/academy
Hi Jane I sent you a question on your website… I’m 60 years old and a total beginner, not knowing a note of anything… would your classes be the right path for me or should I start at a beginner level??? Thanks I like your attitude for how you go about playing a flute … Thanks again
Hi Mother Goose! That's wonderful that you'd like to learn! The Flute Academy is good to join when you already know a few notes on the flute, can get a sound and know a few short melodies. The academy is wonderful, but it's best if you've been learning for at least 6 months before joining! Then you'll get the most benefit from it. You've also given me a great idea to create a course in the future just for beginners like you! Best of luck learning :)
@@JaneFluteSchool thank you so much for your fast response.. one last question do you have any ideas of where to go for me??? Cause like you said and I believe is so true ( that’s why I choose you) the teacher is of the ut most important… Thanks again
@@tommy..980 Hi Mothergoose! A good idea is to google "flute associations" in your city, and they will definitely be able to give you some good recommendations for teachers. Best of luck learning - I'm sure you'll do well because you are already so motivated to learn :)
Ella, yes it's a very good idea for you to learn to play a few melodies and scales first without the music first. It'll just give you a chance to actually learn how to listen to yourself. So good question!
That piece is called Morning Mood by Edvard Grieg. Here's the link to the flute sheet music if you're interested in playing it. 😀 www.flutetunes.com/tunes/grieg-peer-gynt-suite-no1-morning-mood.pdf
Is she 8th grade on Flute? I play on a Muramatsu flute in case you were wondering 😀 Definitely take her to a flute shop and she can try out a few flutes in your budget first before you purchase. How exciting for her! 😀

Regarding the last tip, would it pose a problem if I already know how to read music, but have not begun to learn flute?
Ella, yes it's a very good idea for you to learn to play a few melodies and scales first without the music first. It'll just give you a chance to actually learn how to listen to yourself. So good question!
What’s the name of the melody @ 2:52

Which brand should I buy my 8th grade daughter. Can you help please?
Is she 8th grade on Flute? I play on a Muramatsu flute in case you were wondering 😀 Definitely take her to a flute shop and she can try out a few flutes in your budget first before you purchase. How exciting for her! 😀
Thanks,
What was that tune called please? I've forgotten. 🤔
Ahh yes, it's called Morning (also called Morning Mood) by Grieg. I like it too! THe orchestral version is even better if you look it up on UA-cam :)
@@JaneFluteSchool Thanks, I'll have a look.
