The fees are by month and vary based on the ranks of teachers, levels and duration. Please contact us for more information.

Do you offer group class?
The only group thing is CGFA is the Flute Choir, we do not offer group class. Group music classes can’t offer precise individualised instruction. The teacher usually follows a predetermined lesson plan and must balance the needs of many students. These students will have different needs, abilities, learning styles, goals, or ages. So you just can’t get the same level of individual focus.

There are 5 weeks in some of the month, do we have 5 lessons then?
As the academy’s policy is ensuring every students have 4 lessons every month, we do encourage students to have 5 lessons in those months if both student’s and teacher’s schedule fits, and will treat one of the extra lesson as “advanced replacement”.

What flute should I purchase?
Yamaha student model (YFL-212 or YFL-222) and Pearl student model (PF-505E) are a standard choice for beginner learner, they usually cost in the range of RM2300~3400. Muramatsu flutes is a good choice for those who thinking of upgrading.

Are there cheaper options for a beginner flute?
Yes there are, but we do not recommend to get anything lower than the 4 models mentioned above. This is because the quality of flute is affecting the learning speed in a direct way, student will spend their time “making a sound” rather than “playing music” especially when the instrument is very hard to control. You may opt for 2nd hand yamaha/pearl flutes, but make sure to consult your teacher as there are many fake yamaha in the market. Please beware that any Yamaha flute below RM2000 is a SCAM!

I saw a flute in Lazada / Shopee and it costs me only RM300~600, can I use it for lesson?
NO YOU CAN’T. Sorry to say, that is not a flute, but a piece of metal toy. It can’t produce proper tone and very difficult to even make a sound, which causing poor learning experience and momentum. You may exposed to the risk of lead poisoning because these instrument doesn’t undergoes a proper silver plating procedure.

How about Yamaha YFL-211 SL?
Please be aware that any NEW Yamaha YFL-211 SL  is OEM flute, it is not authentically from Yamaha. The Yamaha YFL-211 is an old model which has stopped manufacturing since 2016, and it has replaced by new model YFL-212 since then.
