A complete step-by-step guide to playing the Pentatonic Flute. The Pentatonic Flute is a simple and beautiful instrument often played in Waldorf/Steiner schools in the younger grades.
In this course you will: *Be guided through a whole year's flute curriculum, suitable for class one (Waldorf) *Begin with simple 2-note songs and gradually increase to 5-note songs *Learn how to practise each song: there are special videos on each song's particular challenge *Learn how to read basic music notation (the solfa/solfege system) *Learn how to hold and blow the flute properly *You will have the ability to communicate directly with me via the comment section. Write a question or comment and I will get back to you *Watch the lessons as many times as you like *Comprehensive introduction including: -Introduction to the Pentatonic Flute -Introduction to Music in Waldorf Class One -Introduction to Solfa music notation *Over 50 videos, lots of photos and detailed written instructions -2 videos are previewed below (see Contents: 4. Hot Cross Buns)
This course is intended for use by educators of young children (i.e. parents and teachers of 6/7 year olds). The Waldorf method discourages children from learning via a screen. Music, as with all areas in Waldorf education, is conveyed human-to-human.
This course is entirely pre-recorded. There is no live content, but I am available for questions (I will get back to you within 1 or 2 days). Once purchased, you can do the course any time, in your own time, as many times as you like.
In this course I use a 'Choroi Quinta' Pentatonic Flute (D-E-G-A-B-D-E)
