Study Objectives:

Altová flétna je značně používána v orchestrech, sólově a dnes již i v jiných hudebních žánrech. Vzhledem k tomu, že rozdíly ve hře na altovou flétnu u studentů mohou být veliké, je vždy volena individuální cesta výuky. Podle schopností studentů je přidělována studijní literatura. Etudy i přednesy vycházejí mnohdy i z literatury flétnové. Přednesy se orientují i na snadnější skladby určené přímo pro tento nástroj . Také pohled studenta, proč chce na altovou flétnu hrát, je určující pro metodiku předmětu.
