For our Youngest Flute Players: Ages 6 -8

Beginning Flute Students, Ages 6-8 we recommend our Mini Flutes class.

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
