Flute Lessons at the London School of Art

🎶 Discover the Magic of Music: Flute Edition

At the London School of Art, we’re passionate about nurturing musical talent and helping students unlock their full potential. Our award-winning performing arts school offers one-to-one flute lessons that cater to both beginners and advanced players. Whether you’re a budding flutist or an experienced musician, our professional tutors are here to guide you on your musical journey.

🔍 What We Offer:

1. Personalized One-to-One Lessons:

   • Our flute lessons are tailored to each student’s unique needs. Whether you’re a child, a teenager, or an adult, we’ll work closely with you to enhance your flute-playing abilities.
   • Lessons take place either at our school premises or online, providing flexibility and convenience.

2. Instrument Choices:

   • Choose the flute as your principal instrument, or explore other woodwind options like the clarinet or saxophone.
   • Flute lessons are recommended for ages 7 and above, while the saxophone is ideal for ages 8 and older. Younger students interested in saxophone often start with the clarinet.

3. Grade Exams and Commitment:

   • Our structured curriculum includes grade exams, which serve as motivating milestones for students.
   • Regular practice is essential. Parents play a crucial role in encouraging and monitoring practice sessions at home.
   • A minimum of 20 minutes of practice, four times a week, is required. As students progress to higher grades, additional practice time becomes necessary.

4. Key Features of Each Grade:

   • Preliminary Grade:
     • Develop fundamental skills such as pitch and rhythm awareness, controlled playing, tone quality, and basic musical perception.
     • The exam includes tunes/exercises, a set piece or song, and an own-choice piece (approximately 16 to 24 bars). Listening games and simple aural tests are also part of this grade.
   • Grades 1 to 8:
     • Candidates choose three pieces from the syllabus lists (Lists A, B, and C), demonstrating their versatility across different styles.
     • Scales, broken chords, sight-reading, and aural tests complete the exam.
     • Total marks in practical exams amount to 150. Passing requires 100 marks, while 120 earns a merit and 130 secures a distinction.

5. Balancing Exams and Musical Education:

   • While exams are important for assessment and school points, they shouldn’t be the sole focus of a musician’s education.
   • At the London School of Art, we prioritize building secure musical foundations. We don’t rush students through exams; instead, we foster holistic growth.
