Online flute lessons are cheaper than face to face lessons. Typically you can save the transport and time costs per lesson. This usually works out to be as much as 10% to 20% of the lesson cost. So if a face to face flute class costs $60 per 45 minutes, then expect to pay $45 to $50 per minute for the online version.
Typically one can play simple songs on the flute after a few months, for more complex songs which require higher level techniques, you may need 2 to 3 years to be good. In general, the more you practice, the faster you will progress.
The starting age for flute lessons, whether online or face to face is the same. Most teachers prefer the child to be age 6 or older before starting flute classes online. Any younger and the child has not enough diaphragm capacity to play on the flute.
It is possible to learn to play the flute without a flute teacher, in the initial stage. However if you wish to be good at it, and not pick up bad habits on the way, you should hire a certified flute teacher to guide you.
