Hollywood of Music and Arts

We recommend that most flute students begin lessons at 7 or 8 and older. A major factor in playing the flute is determining whether a child has both the lung capacity and also the finger size to play its many keys

We recommend that most clarinet students begin lessons at 5 or older. The clarinet is the typically the easiest of the woodwinds instruments to begin on, because it requires less lung capacity to produce a clean tone than the other woodwinds instruments

The cello instrument is also in the violin family, and is essentially a very large version of the violin with a much deeper tone.  Unlike the violin and viola, the tip of a cello (called the endpin) rests on the floor while it is played

The alto saxophone is the most popular and common instrument for beginning saxophone students to start on. The tenor saxophone is bigger, bulkier and requires much more lung capacity and breath control to play than the alto saxophone

It helps students become more advanced songwriters and composers, and music theory also helps students get a big picture understanding about how music works for their specific instrument and for other instruments as well
