AbstractThe aim of this paper is to explain the importance of demonstration in instrumental education. It is observed that some flute teachers – of all levels - who are graduates of music education institutions such as conservatories and lyceum of fine arts prefer oral explanation method instead of demonstrating how to play the instrument. Scholars have pointed out that educational planning must be applied in such a way that directs to as many senses as possible. The oral method stands totally against this suggestion. It is concluded that, no matter the level of the student, a flute lesson must be carried out with demonstration by the teacher. It is suggested that instrument teachers must be active and authorised in playing their instrument and able to demonstrate any instrumental technique or passage of music at the lesson.
