When you have decided to learn the flute, you should also determine how you are going to do it. Your options are private home lessons or online tutorials. Both these options offer many advantages. In a physical class, you will have a singapore flute class schedule and you will also have homework. Online tutorials, on the other hand will give you the advantage of setting up your preferred schedule and practice time. Of course, by learning online you can also learn at your own pace and at whatever time you want. If you are an adult, with many responsibilities to keep you busy, then this is the best option for you. You will be able to optimize your time better by scheduling your flute lessons around your other activities. The first lesson in the basic Singapore flute lessons will teach you how the flute functions. The transverse flute is closed at one end and open on the other. You blow through a hole that is near the closed end, and the way you blow will generate the tone. This hole is called the blow hole. The way you blow will cause a vibration up the column of the flute and the frequency can be controlled by controlling the length of the column of air. You will use the finger holes to manage this frequency. In your first few Singapore flute lessons you will learn to make a tone, which is not difficult but takes some practice in the beginning. The tone is made by blowing across the blow hole and not into the hole. You will learn to hold the flute toward your right, even if you are left handed. The edge of the blow hole should be just above your lower lip and getting the stance right may take some practice. You might want to try and use a mirror to make sure you get this right. After you have mastered the proper way of holding the flute and blowing a tone, you will be taught to play a scale. When you first learn to play a scale on the flute you will be asked to take all your fingers off the holes and blow across the hole, then cover the first hole with your index finger, and you will notice that the tone changes. For a while you will just practice doing this, and then you will go on to the next hole and so on. This will teach you to play the scale backwards. Once you become proficient then you can play it correctly from the bottom up. In those first flute lessons, you will learn that a flute with six holes can play fifteen different tones, and after that you will learn the half tones which are another ten tones. They can either be sharps or flats in the chromatic scale. You achieve this by covering with your fingers some holes halfway, or covering one or more holes in sequence.
