|| A SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT TRADITIONAL WOODEN FLUTES ||
If you are looking for instruction on how to play traditional wooden flutes, please know that our course is intended solely for classical Western type flutes. Wooden flutes can vary greatly in tuning and fingering which means it’s likely that all of our content will sound totally different than what you’re producing on a wooden flute. However, you can also learn a ton of important foundational flute elements from our Beginning Flute course. With that in mind, please proceed with caution.
