Flute for Kids

Information on Flute for Kids

Is the flute for your kid(s)?

Are you looking for a musical instrument for your kids that won’t sound like a strangled cat? If your kids are interested in music and keen to play an instrument, the flute could be a good way to go.

It’s fairly easy to learn and has lots of advantages including:

• Very popular so your child should have lots of opportunities to play with other children and make new friends
• A good way to start learning music as it’s fairly simple and straightforward to play
• The flute is played in a variety of different music styles so whatever music your child likes, they will probably be able to play it on the flute
• There are a number of different types of flute including the wooden flute, alto flute, bass flute, bamboo flute, pearl flute and pan flutes so your child will never get bored!
• Playing wind instruments can help improve kids’ lung capacity and may even help kids who have respiratory problems such as bronchitis

Is a full sized flute too big for your preschooler?
Kids can start flute lessons from age 3 on a special child sized flute and progress to a full sized instrument. Renting an instrument is a good ideat when your child is starting out to save wasting money if they do not enjoy this kids activity. Renting an instrument will also give your child a feel for a particular model of flute and give him or her more of an idea what would be best. If your children aren’t interested in the flute, they might enjoy other blowing instruments such as the clarinet or the piccolo.
