     What is Flute Choir? 

     A flute choir is an ensemble entirely made up of instruments from the flute
     family, including the standard C flute, piccolo, alto flute, and bass flute.
     What are the benefits of participating in Flute Choir? 

    What are the benefits of participating in Flute Choir Because flute choir is a chamber music experience,
    it offers students the opportunity for more individual attention than is possible in the school band Typically,
    there are only one or two flutists assigned to each part. This helps the participants develop a sense of
    independence and musical responsibility that is sometimes lacking in a school band setting where many flutists
    play the same part, and it leads to the students becoming more comfortable playing by themselves. Participation
    in flute choir also helps students develop good listening and ensemble skills. Special emphasis is placed on
    improving intonation, phrasing, articulation and tone quality while keeping the overall musical experience of
    students in mind. In addition, by changing parts and instruments, the students in the flute choir learn to pay
    attention to how each part fits into the harmonic and melodic structure of the music and get the opportunity to
    perform not only on the flute and piccolo but also on the alto and bass flutes. What are the benefits of
