Handflute Short Course: A 4-Lesson Beginner Programme

What the Four Lessons Cover

The Association's beginner course is designed as four sessions, held at community centres or partner shops, and suited to students with no handflute or musical background at all.

The four lessons roughly cover the following: the first session tackles the fundamental question of "how to produce a sound"; lessons two and three build up the concept of scales, enabling students to play melodic fragments; the fourth lesson brings everything together into a short piece, presented as the course's outcome. The pace is not rigidly fixed -- instructors adjust based on how the class is progressing.

Outdoor Experience Day

For some classes, one of the four sessions is arranged as an outdoor experience day. The Association has taken students to Lam Tin Park to play outdoors and practise imitating natural sounds, letting them experience first-hand -- rather than just hear about -- the handflute's ability to be played anywhere.

After Completing the Course

After finishing the beginner course, students who want to continue can enrol in the advanced course or join the Association's community gatherings directly.
