Flutist Onboarding Checklist

1. Instrument setup and maintenance: The flutist needs to ensure their instrument is in optimal condition for performances. This task involves cleaning, oiling, and adjusting the flute as necessary. The flutist typically performs this task themselves, but may seek assistance from a company technician if needed.

2. Familiarization with company policies and procedures: The flutist should be provided with an overview of the company’s policies and procedures, including rehearsal schedules, performance protocols, and any specific guidelines related to their role. This task is typically performed by a member of the company’s management or human resources department.

3. Introduction to the artistic director and colleagues: The flutist should be introduced to the artistic director, conductor, and fellow musicians in the company. This task helps establish relationships and fosters a sense of camaraderie within the ensemble. The introduction is usually facilitated by the artistic director or a designated member of the company.

4. Rehearsal schedule and repertoire review: The flutist should receive a detailed rehearsal schedule and a list of repertoire for upcoming performances. This task allows the flutist to prepare and practice the required music in advance. The rehearsal schedule and repertoire review are typically provided by the artistic director or conductor.

5. Attendance at rehearsals and sectionals: The flutist should attend all scheduled rehearsals and sectionals to familiarize themselves with the ensemble’s dynamics, musical interpretations, and performance expectations. This task is performed by the flutist, who actively participates in rehearsals and sectionals led by the conductor or designated section leaders.

6. Performance preparation and practice: The flutist should dedicate time to individual practice sessions to refine their technique, musicality, and interpretation of the repertoire. This task is performed by the flutist themselves, who may seek guidance from the conductor or fellow musicians if needed.

7. Performance attire and appearance: The flutist should adhere to the company’s dress code and maintain a professional appearance during performances. This task involves selecting appropriate performance attire and ensuring it is clean and well-maintained. The flutist is responsible for performing this task independently.

8. Collaboration with other musicians: The flutist should actively engage in collaborative efforts with other musicians, such as attending sectionals, chamber music rehearsals, or collaborative performances. This task helps build rapport and cohesion within the ensemble. The flutist collaborates with other musicians under the guidance of the conductor or artistic director.

9. Performance etiquette and stage presence: The flutist should be familiar with performance etiquette, including stage entrances and exits, bowing, and maintaining a professional demeanor on stage. This task ensures a polished and cohesive performance. The flutist may receive guidance on performance etiquette from the conductor or experienced musicians in the company.

10. Networking and professional development opportunities: The flutist should actively seek networking opportunities within the music industry and explore professional development opportunities, such as masterclasses, workshops, or competitions. This task helps the flutist expand their professional network and enhance their skills. The flutist may receive recommendations or guidance from the artistic director or fellow musicians
