About the Flute

The flute is a beautiful and expressive woodwind instrument admired for its clear, singing tone and remarkable agility. It is heard in many musical settings including classical orchestras, chamber ensembles, solo repertoire, jazz groups, and contemporary or popular music.

Many students begin flute lessons around ages 7–9 when breath control and hand coordination are sufficiently developed, but it remains an excellent choice for teenagers and adults at any stage.

Our Teachers

All of our teachers hold university degrees specifically in their instrument. We select them for their passion for music and care for teaching. They are always encouraging and positive, catering to each student’s interests, desires, and goals. We teach with an “American Approach” to music education with your hands on the instrument from the first day (read our blogpost about the American Approach).

Free Trial Lesson

A free 45-minute trial lesson is offered to all new students. We want to ensure the teacher we chose for you is the right match!

Flute Lessons Options

We offer 45-minute or 1-hour weekly lessons. Paired lessons are possible with a sibling or friend at the same location and at the same time. Flute lessons in Paris take place at your home on the day and time you choose. If you do not wish to have lessons at home for any reason, we can organize a studio for you in Paris.

What You Will Learn

In your flute lessons, you will build a strong technical foundation through correct embouchure formation, steady breath support, relaxed hand positioning, and clear tone production across the full register. You will learn to read music confidently, develop rhythmic accuracy, refine articulation and phrasing, and cultivate expressive, lyrical playing. As you advance, your teacher may introduce more nuanced skills such as vibrato control, extended techniques, ornaments, and interpretation of various musical styles.

Styles of Music

All styles of music are taught: classical, pop, jazz, rock, etc.

Two Performances per Year

Two performance opportunities are given to all students in a beautiful Parisian hall – one at the end of January and one at the beginning of June.

Practice Planner

All students are given a Practice Planner for teachers to mark weekly assignments and students to record their practice.

Introduction Call

Before you sign up, our admissions team is available to speak about your personal musical goals and desires and to answer any questions you may have.

ABRSM Prep

The Conservatory prepares about 25% of our student body for optional ABRSM exams. These exams are not mandatory.

ABRSM exams are designed to motivate students of all levels and ages, giving them realistic goals and tangible rewards for their achievements. Since 1889, ABRSM has provided music teachers and their students with exams and assessments that nurture and evaluate an individual’s performance and progress.
