Getting Started

Welcome to “The Guide to Playing Flute Virtually” mini course!

There are three sections to this course:

-In section one, you will learn about the basic technology you will need to get started as well as possible upgrades to consider depending on your needs and desires.

-Next, in section two, you will learn how to properly configure the audio settings on one of the most popular video conferencing platforms, Zoom, in order to best collaborate live with musicians or teachers, with a brief mention of other possible platforms out there.

-Lastly, in the third section, you will learn how to play ensemble music virtually, both live and with recordings.

Please note that you can take digital notes while watching the course! There is a spot for you to type them at the bottom of each page. You can save them and then access them later to view or download from your profile under “My Notes” found under “Courses.”

If you complete the course, you will get a certificate as well as a badge and points to apply to future courses or classes! Completing the final quiz will also earn you a badge and points.

Best of all, being enrolled in this course allows you access to the Skye Flute Music community which you can find under “Groups” on your profile. Please feel free to ask all your flute questions and join in on the conversation! Or just show off your flute or stop by to say hi and introduce yourself! We would love to hear from you!
