Why are some flute players able to play with such fluency and ease, yet others struggle to truly improve?
You might be thinking "Well, it's how much they practise!" because you know that it actually does take time and practice to progress properly.
So then - how can it be that even though you do practise the flute regularly, you still feel frustrated with your lack of significant progress, or you feel overwhelmed with all the things you've been told you should be practising??
I get it. The rollercoaster of conflicting information can be really confusing.
And time-consuming...
Let me know if this sounds familiar.
👎🏼
You're frustrated.
You're motivated to improve your playing, and you do practice, but you don't understand why you're progressing soooo slowly!
👎🏼
You think maybe you're not musical enough.
Even though you've got music bursting inside of you, you see amazing flute players and think maybe they've just "got what it takes" and that maybe you don't after all...
👎🏼
It's hard to find a good teacher.
You want to improve, and maybe you've taken some lessons in the past, but you struggle to find, or connect with, a teacher who can actually show you how to make instant improvements.
✨ Who is The Flute Academy for? ✨
The Flute Academy is perfect for intermediate flute players. For example:
1. You've come back to the flute after a long break
Many of the academy students learnt the flute earlier in life, for example in school, and now want to pick it up and start playing again. This is wonderful! And you will fit in perfectly to the academy.
You'll learn many fundamental flute playing techniques that you, for some reason, never learnt properly, when you first learnt. You'll find your playing becomes instantly easier, and sound instantly better.
2. Or you started learning the flute as an adult
If you've been playing the flute for at least 6-12 months, and you know your notes, and you can play a few melodies and scales, then you're the right level to join The Flute Academy. You'll learn the proper techniques of playing that will stick with you for life and make playing a joy.
Who is the academy NOT for?
If you're a total beginner on the flute, and you're still learning how to make a sound, how to blow, and play your notes, spend some time continuing your learning for at least 6 months, and then we'd love to welcome you into The Flute Academy!
Note: If you're already proficient at another instrument (especially a wind instrument, like the clarinet or saxophone), you are very welcome to join us in the academy, as your expertise will give you a strong foundation into playing the flute!
Imagine how it would feel to...
You deserve to feel the freedom, joy and ease that comes from being able to play with proper technique.
And I'm going to help you get there.
