flute lessons

Learning the fife

Flute lessons are instruction in playing the flute, typically one-on-one sessions with a teacher.

The phrase serves as a generic example of extracurricular activities that fill a child's schedule: Between soccer practice, flute lessons, and homework, she barely has time to breathe.

Any instrument works in this slot, but flute lessons has become something of a stock phrase for middle-class childhood enrichment.
