Colton, CA Flute Lessons

Beginners: posture, breathing techniques, embouchure, sound production, articulation, phrasing, note reading
Intermediate: interpretation of different styles, dynamics, ensemble performance, building solid technique and stamina
Advanced: studying of orchestra excerpts, solo pieces, study of various concert and chamber music compositions

All ages and levels of students.

In lessons, I will teach students how to develop an embouchure and make sound, have proper technique, discuss equipment care, how to read music and develop note recognition, and ultimately, play music. The goal is to get my students playing with proper technique, so that this will carry on throughout their career and playing of the instrument. After getting some sounds out of the instrument and having decent technique, students will be assigned 1-2 songs to work on each lesson. It is the learning of music on one's own, that I believe, truly challenges the student to continue to apply information given in lessons.

I teach flute primarily through the tried and true Rubank method. Students will learn how to properly care for the instrument, how to read music, music theory, instrument technique, practice techniques, ear training (how to play by ear), and repertoire. I also employ custom exercises specifically for flute to help my students progress the fastest.

I was in the Marine Corp band as a piccolo and flute player! Over 20 yrs experience!

Beginning: These lessons will focus on tone production, breath support, basic music theory and reading skills, rhythm, and technical development. Intermediate: Intermediate students will continue developing basic skills and begin applying their knowledge to standard repertoire. By focusing on musical context, students will begin to learn the more advanced concepts surrounding interpretation.

My lesson plan involves the proper way to handle and play the flute, to building proper technique and air support, and finally studying standard repertoire. These in-depth lessons will be able to take students up to a high performing high school/ early college level standard of playing.
