For an open-hole flute, plugs can come out as hand position and hole coverage become reliable, rather than on a fixed schedule. Ask the teacher to guide that transition for your Rio Rico player.

For a Rio Rico student, steady progress means reliable practice steps rather than pressure to master everything at once.
