Blocki Flute

Everything we sell, we love and use in our studios.

We are passionate about giving flute students the strongest possible start. Our method books and teaching tools are rooted in more than 50 years of teaching experience, and every resource is designed to help students build a lasting foundation in tone, technique, ear training, and rhythmic sight-reading. Because each concept carries naturally from one book to the next, students continue progressing step by step—with confidence, clarity, and joy.

That same depth of teaching experience shapes every product we offer at Blocki Flute. Everything we sell is something we use ourselves and with our own students. We do not try to carry every flute or piccolo brand; as flute teachers, we understand how essential a reliable scale and accurate intonation are. If an instrument is difficult for us to play in tune, it will be even more challenging for a student. That is why we carefully recommend only the tools, books, and instruments that genuinely support student success.

Our work has also been recognized by respected organizations and embraced by generations of teachers and students. We are proud to share resources that make excellent flute instruction more accessible, effective, and inspiring—and to help every student move forward with the support they need to thrive.

Kathy and her team brought a fantastic wealth of knowledge, experience and energy to the Kinderflute 2021 course. The content was brilliant, and the tutors were filled with a boundless energy and enthusiasm that rubbed off on all of us. Despite being an online attendee, I was welcomed into the group and learnt an enormous amount. I can’t wait to get my first Kinderflute class started!

I have dreamt about doing this training for many years, and now that I have taught some intro classes using the things I learned with Kathy and Molly, I am just over the moon excited about how amazing it is.  The feedback from parents and students has been absolutely wonderful!  This is 100% worth the investment, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to add something very special to their flute studio. . . I will definitely be back next year!

This is one of the best workshops I’ve attended….The class is so helpful to anyone who teaches kids in the 5-10 year old age. Kathy Blocki and Molly Shortridge offer a breadth of information, from fun games and activity ideas, to helpful tips on teaching flute technique and musical concepts to younger learners.  My only regret is that I didn’t attend ages ago!

Kathy Blocki and Molly Shortridge have put together an amazing class for flute teachers! These ladies are well-skilled at what they do, and you can tell they love their work! Not only that, but you get to interact with a collected group of other teachers from around the world! This network is not only educational but inspirational, too!"

It was an absolute pleasure to attend this workshop. I found it to be so inspiring, energizing, and educational. I am also thankful for your hospitality. I still feel joyful when I think of this workshop which only lasted a few days but offered at least a year's worth of inspiration!

After 20 years of teaching, this course has given me a fresh perspective and so many ideas for teaching creative, play-filled lessons that keep students engaged and having fun while developing a solid foundation for musicality and technique.
