Sarah's Studio is excited to offer KinderFlute Classes in the Des Moines Metro Area!

It is a super fun group flute class for elementary students (ages 5-9) created by master flutist/educator Kathy Blocki. In these classes, students will explore music theory, notation & rhythm; build listening skills; and of course learn to play the flute through creative group and private instruction using games, movement, and proven music teaching techniques.

What is KinderFlute?

KinderFlute classes pack in a lot of active learning. This is a recipe for awesome brain benefits; a process called neurogenesis (which means “birth of neurons”) is enhanced when students are physically active while simultaneously engaged in an enriching activity. So kids are literally building brain cells during a KinderFlute Class. It's like Miracle Grow for little brains!

You may have heard of beginning with Kindermusik, Suzuki Violin, or group piano lessons; but flute lessons may not be on your radar.

Did you know kids simply do not have to wait until fifth grade band to begin learning the flute?

Young children can progress quickly on flute. KinderFlute may even serve as a jumping-off point to explore other musical instruments in the future because it provides a solid music theory foundation.

If you desire to expose your child to instrumental music at a young age, KinderFlute may be a unique option for you!

Early music learning produces stronger connections in the brain, leading to enhanced cognitive function in memory, language, executive function and STEM subjects.

Studies show...

Students who begin music education in early childhood often stick with it longer and find greater fulfillment from their musical skill later in life.

And remarkably, these benefits persist into adulthood, long after the music lessons stop!

But don't just take my word for it,

See the research for yourself...

So, what do we do in a KinderFlute Intro Class?
