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.
We want to see children reach their potential in all areas of their lives. Students learn to listen, finger, read music, compose, produce a beautiful tone and express themselves creatively.
Group lessons are carefully planned to maximize learning potential by using many areas of the brain to make learning more productive. Movement and games are a major component in the classes so students maintain a keen sense of alertness. Class size is limited to six students.
Many of the tenets of the class are based on recent research in neurogenesis and learning potential. Neurogenesis means birth of neurons. Neurogenesis is most prevalent during prenatal development and is the process by which neurons are created to populate the growing brain. Contrary to what was believed 10 years ago, new research has shown that neurogenesis also can occur throughout life. KinderFlute uses the Blocki Flute Method.
