1. Piccolo - The Summary
The piccolo is more than just the flute’s higher-pitched cousin. Few people are considered masters at it, so why not include yourself? If you want to learn how to play, research is the key to making your journey easier and more enjoyable. Our Beginner’s Guide To Learning The Piccolo is where you could start off on the right foot.
2. Piccolo Facts
In this list, we have 10 of the best facts about the piccolo.
3. How To Choose A Piccolo
It is very, very important for a beginner to choose the right piccolo from day one. But with so many instruments on the market to choose from, it can be very tough for any first-timer. We are more than willing to give you sound advice to make sure that you choose the right instrument for you, so don’t worry about that.
4. Piccolo Learning Methods
There are two main paths to learning the piccolo. You can go old-fashioned and hire a piccolo teacher, or you can learn on your own by watching videos on the internet/using a mobile app. We are here to help you pick which learning method fits your unique preferences perfectly.
5. How To Play The Piccolo
The piccolo is just like any other instrument; to make the most of it, you must do some research. Our Beginner’s Guide To Learning The Piccolo is where you can get a lot of great information to start with. But why not just jump in, start playing, and develop confidence early on? Our team can help with just that.
6. Improve Your Piccolo Technique
The piccolo’s unique, high-pitched sound is nothing but an annoying trill unless you get the technique right. Mastering technique from the get-go means you will be learning faster than most. But if you get the technique wrong, you are in for a world of hurt. If you want to avoid that, focus on getting your technique right. We can help you with that.
7. How To Read Sheet Music
Playing the piccolo is fine, but you’ll be a far better musician if you’re able to read sheet music. However, playing the instrument itself is a different skill from sheet music reading. To keep things from getting too tricky, we advise that you split these tasks into two categories, so you can tackle them from all angles.
8. Piccolo Practice
Every musician will experience days when they feel like they don’t want to practise. In the end, they still do! All because they have that one skill: a skill to motivate themselves to practise even during bad days. Do you want to learn that skill? Then read our guide to practising the piccolo.

How Do You Know What's Wrong Or Right?
Look no further! The Founder of Ted’s List, Robert Emery, has a hectic career as an international conductor, record producer and pianist. Our objective isn’t to sell you high priced programs that you’ll never take advantage of. Our goal is to help you. Just like Robert wanted to help his son, Teddy, by getting trustworthy advice from friends who are actually world-class professional musicians.
Did you know that to teach music, absolutely no certification is required. Absolutely nothing. Zip. This means you might be getting advice about what to purchase, suggestions & methods from someone who has never formally learnt their instrument.
You wouldn’t believe just how many educators who mistake a piccolo with a flute! And because of all this madness, we try to be a safe and secure pair of hands – shedding light with genuine, well-investigated reviews and guidance from fully trained, outstanding expert musicians. A number of whom you’ll even recognise; or perhaps seen in live performance!
