Quality flute lessons near you!

Refine your skills on the flute at the Myriad Music School. Private lessons at Myriad help you excel in your Band and Orchestra programs. As a result, you will attain your musical best with expert coaching!

Playing the flute correctly is full of special, unique challenges. Therefore, you need weekly feedback & encouragement to know that you are on the right track. In other words, private mentoring is how you improve and achieve your goals.

For our Youngest Flute Players: Ages 6 -8

We offer lessons on the Nuvo Student jflute, perfect for young beginners. This is an affordable instrument with a beautiful sound, and sized just right for smaller hands. It is also lighter and easier to hold for students ages 6-8. Schedule your first lesson with our teacher and we’ll show you this amazing product!

We also utilize the Pneumo Pro which helps new flutists to quickly learn how to have a beautiful tone. Flute teachers love how the Pneumo Pro facilitates the correct and consistent placement of the air column, taking the mystery out of tone production. The new Pneumo Pro can be inserted in the body of the flute which allows immediate feedback on the correct placement of the air column even while the students are balancing the flute.

For more advanced students, the Pneumo Pro helps with:

Tone production.
Tuning (especially when playing changes in dynamics.)
Focused double and triple tonguing
Smooth and connected flexibility between octaves.
Advanced techniques such as multiphonics

At Myriad, these are the skills we can help you develop

Proper breath support; tone production
Articulation & tonguing
Intonation ~ playing well in-tune with your band or orchestra members.
Learn how to play accompanied by a professional piano accompanist.
Better music reading skills
Learn how to sight-read rhythms accurately, and much more!

Action-packed, fun lessons!

Your weekly lesson is full fun duets, personalized coaching and practice activities to take home. These assignments go beyond simple band or orchestra music assignments. For parents, we have many tools to help you know if your child is excelling. For example, parents and students are provided with a “Smart Practicing Guide” and “Correct Home Set-up” guidelines.

Instructors at the Myriad Music School ensure lessons are fun and engaging. Lessons always address the specific needs of each student.
