WHY YOU CHOOSE ONLINE FLUTE LESSONS FROM US

The flute is a very popular musical instrument, among the wind instruments. The warm and beautiful, mellow tone of the flute gives it a chance to be a lead musical instrument. It carries the melody of many musical repertoire pieces. It also is not difficult to learn.Whether you wish to start flute lessons online, or engage a flute teacher for face to face coaching, you will benefit a lot in picking up this music skill. Let me go through the many benefits of starting online flute classes:
1. Practicing on the flute helps to improve coordination. Specifically, the flute player needs to coordinate the eyes, hands, mouth to play the musical instrument. As a musician, you will need to learn to read music notes and understand theory or music. As such, the eye needs to read music notes, hand needs to press on the keys of the flute, the flute player needs to focus on breathing and rhythm to create good tone from the flute. All at the same time.
2. Many new students have the misconception that the mouth is most important for playing on this musical instrument. Actually, the diaphragm is the core from where the flute player uses to blow air into the mouthpiece. One experiences a full hundred percent workout of the lungs, similar to that experienced by swimmers. Thus giving you strong core muscles.
3. Once you learn flute online, you will learn different rhythmic patterns. A crochet note is one count, a minim note is two counts, a quaver note is half count and a semi quaver note is one quarter of a count. Thus you will improve your mathematics and counting ability. This is very useful for young kids who are developing cognitively. It is also proven to cognitively help older students who have retired.
4. Learning how to play a music instrument requires dedication and many hours of repetitive practice. As a student, one needs to be very disciplined in setting aside time to productively polish up your skills. We only have twenty-four hours a day. After accounting for sleep, work or study, we actually do not have much time left except for pursuits which we deem important.
5. Once you have mastered playing the flute, you will have a lot of confidence in yourself. This is because it is not easy to learn to play any musical instrument. From the beginning, it is an achievement when one can hold a note for a few seconds as this required good lung capacity. Then, the ability to product good tone on the flute is something to celebrate once you can do it. Next on the list is improving on the tonalization including slur, staccato, crescendo and de crescendo. Once you have mastered these, this is a big milestone in life which you should celebrate. Moving on, when you can master intermediate to advance level music pieces, you feel very good about your achievement. You will gain a huge sense of achievement and this mindset will overflow to the other aspects of your life.
6. Listening to music relaxes one. Playing a musical instrument helps to relieve stress. During your online flute classes, you will be using your brain cells and lung muscles to play on a musical instrument like the flute. Very much like yoga practice, you can focus on the present and forget about all your worries at work, in school and in life in general. This is even more therapeutic for those who love music.
7. When you start flute lessons online, your teacher will coach you to play repertoire pieces. As you progress, these increases in length and complexity. You will need to remember more and more things as you execute these complicated pieces. So, learning a musical instrument like the flute increases your memory capacity. Your ability to remember things also improves over time, meaning that you can remember things longer.
You can learn flute online with our start flute coach at Stradivari Strings. Since year 2010, we have coached hundreds of flute students to master this musical instrument in a relatively short time period. Get started with Stradivari Strings online course with detailed step by step instructions.

Adult flute student

My bamboo flute Joyce, is a very patient instructor. Learning under her tutelage is not pressurizing and she is mindful to do adhoc recap of techniques, which come in handy, from time to time. She is a 笛子instructor whom I will strongly reco... mmend for enthusiasts and/or amateurs. Getting a qualified instructor is one, having an instructor who patiently goes through the routine and fundamentals is another. Joyce is also very strong in her technicals.

My 6 year old son and I really enjoy flute lessons with teacher Minh Trang. She makes lessons very fun for my son, to maintain his interest in flute playing. As for myself, I learnt to play the flute many years back, and needed a teacher fo... r a refresher course. Teacher Minh Trang covered the basics with me in detail to ensure that I grasp this first before going to intermediate/ advanced level playing.
Asuka Uchida

Student

Teacher Jen made the flute lessons interesting and lively. She engages and connects my son very well. She is passionate about her music and that actually rubs onto my son. I know my son’s interest in flute is heightened when he practices on...  his own without us reminding him!

Leow Yu Xun

Technique is of paramount importance when it comes to playing music. I have been with teacher Joyce (bamboo flute) for 2 years. She has taught me the necessary fundamentals in the playing of the Chinese flute. Under her patient teaching and...  guidance, I achieved distinction in both grade 5 and 8 dizi examinations. I believe that her teaching is commendable and very suitable for students who are still grasping their basics in Chinese flute.

Teacher Sharon is the best music teacher I have ever met in my whole life. Before I started flute lessons with her, I was afraid of music classes and did not realize that music can be so fun. I could enjoy lessons with her and she has revol... utionalized my perspective in music.

Desmond Leong

Student

I am an adult who has 10 years of piano background. I have always wanted to start private cello lessons and managed to contact Rita from Stradivari Strings. So far, I have had 5 cello lessons and it has been a great experience. Rita is shar... p, talented and passionate in music with a pleasant personality while teaching. As an adult learner, Rita inspires me to love music again. I am very happy to reconnect with music after decades of abandoning it. During our cello classes, Rita emphasizes coaching me on note reading on the cello, bowing techniques, right posture, finger position as well as re-visit music theory. The latter I have totally long forgotten. It has been a happy learning journey. Rita has good knowledge on music instruments and her passion is not only in coaching cello students, she is also very knowledgeable in in handcrafted bowed string instruments (including violin, cello, viola and double bass). For this reason, I have no hesitation to purchase my cello from Stradivari strings.
