Student Flutes
Played on their own or with an orchestra, the flute is a wonderful instrument to take up. With an origin that dates back over 35,000 years, the flute holds a unique position in the woodwind family in that its sound is produced from the flow of air over the opening without the need of a reed. If you or someone you know is interested in learning the flute, you're in luck.
