Flute Lessons at Blue Frog School of Music
– Ages 8 & Up
At Blue Frog School of Music in Oak Hill, Austin, we offer flute lessons for students ages 8 and up, with a focus on building musical fundamentals in a supportive, structured, and motivational environment. Whether you’re just starting out or developing early technique, our lessons are ideal for beginners and early intermediate players.
For our youngest students (ages 8–10), a parent or guardian must be present during lessons to help ensure focus, comfort, and a positive learning experience.
What You’ll Learn
Students will develop both technical skills and musicality, with an emphasis on:
- How to hold and care for your flute
- Breath control, tone development, and posture
- Reading sheet music and rhythmic accuracy
- Playing simple melodies and full pieces
- Expressing musical phrasing and dynamics
- Building confidence and musical discipline
Who It’s For
- Young beginners (ages 8–10) – With parent support and a desire to learn, young students can build strong foundations.
- Teens and preteens – Develop skills for school band, ensemble playing, or solo performance.
- Adult students – Especially welcoming to female adults looking to return to or begin learning flute in a calm, encouraging space, learn more about our adult lessons.
We strive to create a welcoming environment for a range of learners. While our instructors are not trained in specialized methods for students with certain learning differences, we’re happy to discuss your child’s needs during a trial lesson to determine if our program is the right fit and recommend additional resources if needed.

Practice, Perform, and Shine
Regular attendance and practice are essential for musical growth. We encourage students to commit to consistent lessons and participate in our biannual recitals. These performances offer a valuable opportunity to showcase progress, boost confidence, and share music in a supportive, low-pressure setting. Participation is tailored to each student’s comfort level and stage of development, ensuring everyone can shine.
[Note: while performing is participatory, attendance is not].
