Flute

Click here to hear the Flute!

The flute is the smallest of the beginner instruments and is a member of the woodwind family. Flutes produce a sound when a flute player's air flow goes across the opening of the flute called a tone hole.

Flute players should have a slight “frown” to the upper lip with NO tear drop shape in the middle.  Flute tones are produced by being able to focus an extremely small airstream to an exact location on the tone hole.  The tear-drop-shaped lip will make it difficult to direct the air so precisely.  Flute players should also have agile fingers for moving this multi-keyed instrument through a fast musical passage.  Students with extreme overbites (receded jaw) should avoid choosing flute as this makes it difficult to produce quality sounds.

HOW DO GET AN INSTRUMENT?

You have several options on how to get an instrument?

1. You can rent or purchase an instrument from one of our recommended and trusted music stores. You can purchase an instrument up front or you can "rent to own" an instrument. When you rent to own you will pay a month to month rental fee until the amount of the instrument is paid off. Please scroll down to view and find the links to the music stores we do business with.

2. You can choose to use a Lake Worth ISD School Owned Flute. The fee for using a school owned Flute is $40 for the school year. However the you are responsible for purchasing the instrument supplies for the flute. Please note that we only have a limited number of flutes. We will be assign school owned instruments to returning band students first and the remaining school owned flutes will be given on a first come first serve basis.
