The students’ desire to be a part of flute choir is probably the best testament to the importance it plays in their musical development. Below are some student comments which describe what they like about flute choir, what they have learned from it, and how they feel their playing has changed as a result of participating in the group.

I like flute choir because:
• You play different parts and different flutes.
• The music is challenging.
• There is detail on what you’re doing wrong and how to improve it.
• In a smaller group it’s easier to learn theory.
• Difficult parts are worked out individually.

I have learned:
• How to play the piccolo, the alto and the bass.
• How to lead in some songs and come in at the right time.
• How to play with a clearer tone.
• How to play with and listen to others and tune to them.
• How to practice.

Participating in flute choir has changed my playing in that:
• I feel better about myself at playing the flute.
• I don’t get scared when I play by myself.
• I feel more confident and happy about it.
• I have become more aware of the music and the people playing around me.

I would describe flute choir as:
• Sophistication and fun combined in music to make one enjoyable experience.
• Fabulous fun and fantastic friends playing fine flutes at Flute Frenzy.
