What is the age to start flute lesson?
What is the age to start flute lesson?
– It’s great to start learning music at an early age, but parents must make sure students are both physically and academically ready to begin studying the flute.
– The most important factor to decide whether a kid can start playing flute, is the size of the palm and arm. In order to facilitate playing all the keys of flute.
– As a wind instrument, it is also important that the student has a developed lung capacity to play. The youngest age for asian to start usually begin around 7-9 years old.
– Younger students can use a curve head joint to reduce the length of the flute, while not affecting the overall sound quality or technique. But I would suggest to just wait for another 1-2 years for them to grow and able to support holding a regular flute. Because you won’t need the curve head joint anymore in your lifetime flute playing journey when you grown up.
– Adult classes are available, it is never too late to learn music.
Even 60+ years old grandpa passionate about learning flute, what are you waiting for?

****Lessons are specially design for different age group.****
-Unlike the guitar or piano, playing the flute is less intuitive and therefore it is not an instrument that can easily be self-taught. You need someone to give you direct feedback and to avoid development of bad habits. It is way more challenging to change a bad habit than learning a new technique.

Please noted that learning music is not about taking exams. Ms. Chew do encourage students to take exam to gain experiences and build self confidence, but will not recommend student to take exam if they are not up to standard. And for those who leaning just for fun, especially adult students, taking exam or not is totally based on their own choice.
For exam, not every grade is needed to take in order to proceed to next grade. Ms. Chew encourages her student to skip some grades depending on their learning progression. But, although skipping grades, the necessary techniques required to play flute will NOT BE SKIPPED.
