Beginner Flute Lessons on YouTube

For those learning to play the flute for the first time, I’ve created a series of flute lessons for beginners on my YouTube channel. These lessons cover topics including, assembly and cleaning, basic sound production, basic flute scales and easy flute songs. Based on my first flute lessons for total beginners, I break down the lesson concepts into short mini-lessons so that you can learn at your own pace.

I hope that these videos will be a good starting point for new flutists on their journeys of discovery. Should you need more individualized instruction, please consider inquiring about Virtual Flute Lessons with me (conducted over Zoom and FaceTime).
