Course Description: KinderFlute is all about FUN! This action-packed class offers an introduction to flute playing through games, activities, and focused group and one-on-one instruction. KinderFlute is a unique curriculum based in the science of “neurogenesis”—or the birth of neurons—which happens best when kids learn in an active and supportive environment. It’s like miracle grow for little brains! In these classes, students will have a chance to try the flute while learning beginning music theory concepts and listening and moving to great flute music! If you have considered music lessons (perhaps piano, violin, guitar, etc.) for your child, KinderFlute may be just what you are looking for! Intro classes are for students and a parent/guardian or other responsible adult (16yrs+). It is essential that a grown-up accompany students in these classes to observe and support at-home music making, and maybe even participate in the games and activities right along with us. Students will receive their very own Nuvo Toot to keep – this is a plastic beginner flute that students will use in class and take home to encourage beautiful flute-playing and music exploration beyond the class. A few additional items--including a PneumoPro Wind Director and real flute headjoint--will be loaned to each student at the first class, and returned at the last class (additional fee may apply for lost or damaged loaner items). Logistics: Registration fee includes Nuvo Toot ($33 value) Instructor: Intro to KinderFlute is taught by Certified KinderFlute Teacher Sarah Richards, who has over 20 years experience teaching flute and working with kids of all ages. Ms. Sarah is a Johnston mom with four children in JCSD, and can’t wait to share the KinderFlute experience in our community!
