Description
Please go to the Finding Your First or Forever Flute (and How to Make It Last) course page for the complete course outline and sample lessons or to take the course if you are already enrolled.
When you go flute shopping, there are SO MANY options out there! How do you even know where to begin? And if you do find a flute that fits your needs, how do you take care of it so that it lasts long enough to have made the purchase worth your money?
This free course will walk you through the process of finding an instrument so that you feel confident that you are getting the instrument that you need. And you will learn about possible accessories that you might require as well as how to take care of your flute so that it always keeps playing as well as when it was new.
There are three sections to this course:
-In section one, you will learn about the standard features of the flute, different kinds of beginner instruments so you can find the right instrument for your age or needs for physical accommodations, and purchasing options when selecting your first flute.
-Then in section two, you will learn about the many possible choices and upgrades you can have on either your first or next flute.
-And in the final section, you will learn what accessories you might want to have as well as best practices for keeping your flute playing its best.
This course also has a way for you to digitally take, save, and download notes as you go through the material!
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 hosted directly on this site. Ask all your flute questions and join in on the conversation!

So thankful for this course! We needed to replace my daughter’s vintage flute with an intermediate/advanced newer flute. I knew so little about flutes. This course helped me understand the different choices and familiarized me with the nomenclature so I was more prepared when shopping.. Approachable, bite-sized lessons I can pause and resume to fit my schedule were great, and that note-taking page was pretty clever too!

This is a great resource for people just starting out in their flute journey and for those who are well-traveled in their flute journey. It gives great coverage of the basics and lots of information about things that you maybe didn’t even know, you didn’t know. The presentation is well done and topics progress in a logical order. An enjoyable learning resource. Well done – Thank you Erika!
