Setting up a designated practice space helps to be more consistent in your routine! Plus, its so much fun to design a little place just for flute!
First consider the location:
Find a spot that is generally quiet and away from distractions and siblings. Having a door, curtain, or some sort of divider might help to contain the space and help your child to focus.
If you have a young child and want to get really creative, you could set up a play tent and practice inside! Blanket forts work great too, but are more temporary.
Older students might prefer to practice in their rooms. You could hang some twinkle lights, artwork, or other decorative items to make the space more inviting.
When setting up your space, you might include these items:
-A music stand
-Your flute
-A flute stand
-Music/method books
-Pencils
-Crayons, colored pencils, or markers
-Sticky notes or note cards
-Blank Paper/Notebook
-Dice
-Counters for keeping track of repetitions
-Stickers
-Air toys (bubbles, pinwheel, pom-poms, etc.)
-Mirror (to keep an eye on flute embouchure & posture)
Other things to consider:
-Lighting: maybe set up next to a window for natural light or find some extra lamps
-Acoustics (a room with hardwood floor and less carpeting will offer more projection)
-Seating: will you sit or stand while you practice?
Hopefully this provided some inspiration and helpful ideas to set up your very own flute corner!
