Flute Choir: A profile

Updated: Oct 30, 2024

Flute Choir provides an exciting opportunity for more advanced players (grades 4 to 8+) to tackle challenging repertoire in a smaller ensemble setting. Under the guidance of a flute specialist, this group explores the full range of the flute family, including piccolo, alto, and bass flutes. This diverse instrumentation allows members to develop their technical skills and musicality while collaborating closely with fellow musicians.


 
Flute Choir runs on Saturday mornings, 10.45am-12.15pm, at Brookfield Community Schoo


 As a senior ensemble, Flute Choir engages in a variety of external concerts, offering valuable performance opportunities that extend beyond our music centre community. These performances not only enhance the players’ stage presence but also build confidence as they share their passion for music with wider audiences.


Participating in these concerts fosters a sense of camaraderie among members, creating lasting friendships while promoting a love for flute music. Through these experiences, Flute Choir members gain essential performance skills that will serve them well in their musical journeys.
