Points for Students:


Practise things that you find difficult.

If you don’t understand something, ask your teacher

Develop your self-awareness

Pyramid learning works: start with tone, finger technique and articulation. Follow these with sequential work, then studies and finally repertoire.

Most problems stem from poor posture or poor breathing and blowing.

Keep a practice diary.

Your teacher is one of the main key to success, use their knowledge.

Listen to how you sound, ask yourself how can I improve?

Focus on your practise, if you lose concentration stop for a few minutes.

Plan your practise.

Listen to famous flute players, to help you decide what type of sounds and styles you like.

Enjoy yourselves.
