Children ages 4 throughout 5th grade explore the flute and flute playing in group
classes. Give your child a head start in music making! KinderFlute is designed to
teach young students to love music and learn to play the flute.
All KinderFlute Classes include both a 45-minute group session and a 30-minute private
lesson per week!
KinderFlute, developed by Kathy Blocki, is a method designed to effectively teach
students to love music and play the flute from an early age. KinderFlute is intended
to make playing the flute and understanding musical concepts both accessible and fun
for children.
Students benefit from weekly group classes and one-on-one lessons with the instructor.
Incorporating games, movement and improvisation exercises from my research and training
in the KinderFlute and Dalcroze approach, group classes are carefully planned to maximize
each student’s learning potential and musical development.
Class/Lesson Dates: Begin as early as January 9 and end April 27
Recital: April 27
For children ages 4 through 5th grade.
KinderFlute Classes are fun-filled 12-weeks programs that consist of weekly group
class instruction AND 30-minute private lessons designed for children to explore playing
the flute!

Dr. Emily Creedle is committed to making her community a better place as a performer
and teacher by sharing her joy and passion for the flute and music making. Her KinderFlute
students consistently show high levels of technical skill, musicianship, teamwork,
performance, and joy in the learning process. Many of the graduates of the program
who are now in middle and high school currently play in their school band programs,
with the SC Philharmonic Symphonic and Youth Orchestra, and have made their region
band and the All-State band.

Maureen McKay, KinderFlute's intern, says, "Music is one of the greatest gifts to
share with others. It has been a true joy to be a part of the SC Youth Philharmonic
Orchestra for many years and to participate in the CMS Flute choir. I love working
with kids and encouraging them to share the beautiful gift of music."
