Flute Classes

 

This is the actual flute used in the flute class, that each student will keep following the end of the class

Flute Class Costs:

50.00 per person with unfinished flute

60.00 per person with finished flute

     Flute classes are available for groups or students as both an educational experience and as a fundraising experience. This class has been presented to adults and children above the age of 8, with tremendous results!
     Classes have  been taught in Sweden, India, Spain, England, Canada, Finland, and all over the United States. The cost for the class is nominal, and presenters of the class may charge as they wish in order to cover costs of the classes and transportation, lodging, etc for Douglas.
     Participants in the flute class will learn:
Basic fingering and scales
Breathing techniques
Overblow techniques
A complete traditional song start to finish. Students will also receive a sheet music/tablature copy of the song they learn.

 

  • Class length is approximately 2-4 hours. (depending on # of students)

  • Must be limited to not more than 50 participants per class. (Each student receives individual time with instructor)

  • Students MUST use flutes provided by presenter/instructor. These flutes are all in the same key and closely pitched. If even one flute is tuned differently than the other 49 flutes in the class, the resulting sound is similar to fingernails on a chalkboard!

  • Flutes included in the educational package are UNFINISHED. This means they are playable, but not visually beautiful. Part of the fun in the class is recognizing that each person may finish their flute's appearance to their own liking.

 

 

 

 

Class Curriculum includes:
  • Music
  • History
  • Art
  • Science
  • Math

And therefore meets or exceeds most school district requirements for special opportunity education.

An additional means of funding the presentation of this class is to have a solo concert with Douglas in the evening of the class. Sometimes Douglas will have the flute class participants perform with him as well.

Presenters/Educators are responsible for all costs related to Douglas travel, lodging, and meals, and a small perdiem/honorarium.* (Native American institutions please inquire about this as rez schools have a slightly different arrangement)
