Teaching Children to Play the Flute
These days, the popular trend is to learn as many instruments as you can, with the flute chiefly among them. Today parents are also encouraging their children to learn flute in Singapore and to take part in the competitions worldwide. Before buying a new flute for your child, make the arrangements first to hire the best flute instructor so that you can give your child the best flute lessons.
The easiest way to impart your child flute lessons is by the help of a flute teacher. Before selecting a best flute teacher in Singapore you should carry out proper survey and consult all the references. There should be no compromise while selecting the flute instructor. You should only accept an instructor with enough experience as well as possessing exceptional education.
It is necessary to provide the complete instruction set to the child before he attempts to assemble or play the instrument. They should know how to reach the keys without any strain in their neck and hands.
A flute with a curved head joint is also recommended by most teachers to beginners. Many times it has been observed that the smaller children find it hard to make the switch to the straight head joint quickly enough. But it becomes easy as the child grows more and more in terms of the stature and he musical ability. A flute novice should always be conscious of the right posture when playing the instrument. This is something that the flute instructor should be teaching them.
A C flute is considered as a best-known flute for the beginners. There are many other flutes like brass flute and an alto flute that are included in the family of the flutes. At the start, the children are given only the C flute for them to use to practice the notes and acquire some experience. Once the child becomes adept at it, he then will be made to practice on the more advanced flutes mentioned above.
Below are some useful tips that parents need to follow before allowing their children to play the flute:
- First of all, you must buy the beginner's flute book if you are not able to select the instructor for your child. One very helpful book will be the "First Division Band Method" written by Fred Weber. Besides this, parents can also give their children books that teach about the fingering techniques and act as a fingering guide. You can also search for various books on the scales.
- When they have read the book, they should then be encouraged to practice by making proper noises using their mouth piece. This exercise also requires them to blow air across each of the holes of the flute. Positioning the lips loosely will produce a low tone while pursing them tightly while blowing hard will produce a higher note.
- The fingering charts that are provided in various books can be used by the children to practice the scales.
After having practiced without the flute, the children should now be assisted with practicing their first song, this time using the flute.
