Overview and History of the Flute

The flute is the oldest of the woodwinds dating back 800 years in Western Europe and North America. It is also unique because it is the only non-reed woodwind instrument. By the 17th and 18th centuries, the flute became a standard classical instrument through such composers as Vivaldi, Mozart, Brahms, and other famous composers of that era. The flute came into its modern appearance by the 1900s and has continued to be a part of the modern classical repertoire. As well as being a mainstream classical instrument, the flute has found its place in modern western music styles such as jazz, rock, pop and blues.

Age to Start Flute Lessons

The flute is a popular choice because of its delicate appearance and tone. When deciding to start a young student on flute, just consider their hand size; making sure their fingers can reach all of the keys.

Procuring an instrument

Like many woodwinds, the flute is an affordable instrument to either purchase or rent. Younger students may find it easier to play using a curved head-joint, a determination that can most easily be assessed by an accomplished flute teacher.

Benefits of Flute Lessons

Many flute students also later pursue voice lessons because of their deep connection to the signing quality the flute has.
