Abstract

Music is an exceptionally diverse field that can be difficult to teach without a direction or guide. The individualistic nature of music requires flexibility and a strong foundation to help young musicians grow and discover a sense of meaning within the notes. This guide can provide teachers and students with the infrastructure necessary to develop necessary skills, as well as inspiration to explore creative opportunities. Included in this flute curriculum are the basic building blocks such as scales and breathing exercises, and more expressive musical material such as etude and repertoire suggestions. In addition, supplemental readings and resources are included as well. This combination has the potential to create the next generation of great flute players, and to enhance the lives of everyone it reaches.
