Flute is one of the most popular instruments around the world, which can be attributed to its simplicity and pleasing sound.

Why Flute?

There are lots of great reasons to play flute.

• The flute makes a beautiful, soothing sound. 
• Flutes often play the melody or lead parts in a band.  
• Flutists get front-row seats in the band.  
• Flute is fun to play in duets and ensembles, and sounds good with almost all other instruments.  
• The flute is small and easy to carry.  
• Even simple music sounds beautiful on the flute.
• Flutes sound good in all types of music—classical, modern, rock, jazz, pop, easy listening, gospel, contemporary Christian, etc.  
• Once you can play flute you can also play piccolo.  Other woodwind instruments (clarinets and saxophones) play similarly and are easy for flutists to learn.

The Suzuki Flute Method follows Dr. Shinichi Suzuki’s method of music education. Suzuki believed that students could assimilate music through constant exposure by ear to the songs they were to learn(immersion), encouragement, small steps, and an unforced timetable for learning material based on each person's developmental readiness to imitate examples, internalize principles, and contribute novel ideas.
