Last week, classes 4 to 8 had the privilege of listening to the silver flute, demonstrated and played by our wonderful visiting peripatetic teacher, Anna Thomas. They heard a variety of pieces from classical and folk to film and pop music. The flute is part of the woodwind family and, when played in the orchestra or smaller ensembles, adds a variety of colours and textures to the piece as it has a large range of notes.
Flute can be learnt from class 4 and upwards and is a very easy transition from the recorder, which all our pupils at Michael Hall learn, as it has similar finger patterns and also reads from the treble clef.
Anna visits the school to teach weekly and has a wealth of experience of teaching and playing professionally too.
Anna has a couple of spaces available at the moment, so if you would like to apply for your child to learn this instrument, please get in touch with our instrumental coordinator, [email protected] or download the application form directly from the school's website. This can be handed in to reception. The fee for this one-to-one tuition is £27 per lesson.
Should you have further questions about the flute or any questions about learning a musical instrument, please email Rachel Masters directly.
