Private Woodwind Lessons for Kids, Teens, and Adults

Private flute lessons generally start at age 7 and older, but sometimes younger students will start with a special curved-head flute. As with all members of our faculty, the teachers have university or college degrees in their area of specialization. Our flute lessons are offered in 30 minute, 45 minute or 1 hour lengths.

Our flute students have the option to perform in our Christmas and Summer recitals with many also performing in local music festivals in partnership with the Music Teachers Association of California (MTAC), the City of Irvine, and the Chamber of Commerce. We offer a wide range of styles and many students choose to do the Certificate of Merit flute exams.
