MusicMedic is pleased to offer Basics Done Right learning course for Flute.  This course is designed to teach basic fundamental repair skills that the participant can build upon long after taking the course.  Participants need not have any prior repair experience.

Is a Basics Done Right Course for you?  Over the years, we have had participants from all over the world from different backgrounds and with different goals who benefitted from these courses.

-Musicians who want to understand their instrument’s mechanical functions and be able to do some repairs themselves.

-Band Instructors or Music Teachers who want to be able to troubleshoot and implement fixes to their students’ instruments.

-Parents or family members who have an interest in the mechanical workings of musical instruments and want to the help the musician in their lives

-Shop managers who want to cross train their technicians and introduce them into woodwinds or build upon their basic skills.

-Hobbyists who are curious about the band instrument repair trade and wants to dip their toes in the water before committing to repair school or an apprenticeship.

This intensive learning course is action packed and hands on! You’ll work with an instructor in a small class size to gain a fundamental understanding of the instrument, the tools, and supplies.  Participants will need an instrument and a basic set of tools and supplies (see Tool Block below to order or make sure you have the necessary tools in your tool kit already).

We constructed this course to introduce the fundamentals of Flute repair. In this fast-paced experience, we will cover:

Intro to Tools, Anatomy of a Flute, Assembly and Disassembly,Selecting and replacing materials, Pads and padding, Flute Head Cork and replacement, Fitting of Headjoint and Body Tenons, Dent Work, Key fitting (if time allows) and all questions answered!

Participants will need the basic set of tools required to participate in the course before the first day of the course. See Tool Block Below. Participants should also have an open or closed hole flute of their choice to work on with the class during the course. All participants are eligible to purchase tools, repair kits, and instrument repair supplies at a reduced cost.
