Maile’s Aunt Julie is a very accomplished flutist – she’s traveled all over the world teaching and playing the flute. So Maile Girl was VERY lucky to have her deliver Maile’s very first flute (or any type of music) lesson on Saturday.
Aunt Julie brought over this really cool flute made by NUVO. It’s very light and made from plastic type material – but good quality. Aunt Julie said it is a great flute to learn on.
Aunt Julie said Maile was a very good student and she was quite excited about her lips. For her part, Maile Girl got a huge kick out of learning about the flute and playing it.
First Aunt Julie showed Maile all the pretty sounds that the flute could make and played some songs she already knew... this definitely piqued her interest!
Then Aunt Julie showed Maile how to place her mouth on the flute and the proper way to blow air...
Then they put the full flute together and Maile learned about the keys and how pressing them made different sounds...
After that it was just a matter of putting everything together...
... and becoming the cutest flutist ever!
And here’s a video of Maile playing her very first “song” on the flute…
Thank you Aunt Julie! Now we just need you to move to San Francisco to continue the lessons 🙂
