Flute with Beth B.

Lessons with Beth

I teach my students to have strong fundamental skills (reading music, rhythm, control of air and understanding how it works, structure of music, phrasing etc). For students that have been playing a while, they quickly see improvement in their skills. For the beginner, this develops a strong foundation that leads to excelling faster than their peers. Regardless all students gain a sense of confidence in what they are doing which carries over to improved performances.
