Expert Flute Classes in Monrovia, CA

Aside from the human voice, the flute is the oldest known musical instrument. The oldest flutes found by archaeologists are made of bear and avian bones, but today most flutes are made of silver-plated metals like brass, copper, and zinc combinations. Most professionals play on solid silver flutes.

Unlike its other woodwind siblings, the flute does not need a reed to play, but produces its sound just from the flow of air across an opening. You will learn all that and more when taking flute lessons at JFMA!

Discover the Joy of Playing the Flute

The flute is one of the oldest and most expressive musical instruments in the world. From its origins carved from bird bones to today’s polished silver-plated designs, the flute has evolved while retaining its lyrical beauty. At Joe Ferrante Music Academy, we offer flute classes in Monrovia, CA designed for all skill levels—from absolute beginners to experienced players.

Our professional flute instructors guide each student with personalized attention, fostering confidence and musical development through a supportive, fun, and structured environment.
