I strive to be a kind, engaged, top-notch flute teacher. My students have won competitions and have accomplished their playing goals through their own hard work and dedication. Openings available - check out my page for more information about flute lessons!

Experienced flute teacher seeking beginning and intermediate students. Former student of New York-based flutist John Savage. Well-studied in the Berbiguier Etudes for flute, as well as pieces by Mozart, Poulenc and Bach.

Flute studies are balanced with technic and standard flute repertoire. Students are prepared to advance in band and ensembles. I improve embouchure and breath support. I can provide coaching for performances and competitions.

I begin by focusing on the basics of the flute, such as knowing the parts of the flute, how to hold the flute with good posture, making that first sound, having the correct embouchure, and some breathing techniques. Then we progress to learning basic note-reading and rhythms, while incorporating several beginner flute fingerings, then moving on to learning simple songs. I typically use the Accent on Achievement series for flute or the Rubank flute series or a combination of the two, depending on the student's ability/level. I may also add other supplemental pieces or materials as needed. If the student plays in band at school, we may also take time to work on music for that as well, giving the student the individual attention that they may miss in a group/classroom setting. Flute lessons are also a great way to keep up with practice when school is out for holiday breaks or summer.

I love playing flute in theatre productions and concert ensembles! I always gear lessons to the student's interests. Popular music? Disney? Yes!

Tired of being frustrated by the pace of self-teaching or is your child bored with the progress in school band class? Are you an adult who never played an instrument but are really interested in learning a wind instrument? Not able to express yourself creatively or don't really understand why your favorite songs or styles of music work? Do you want a more hands-on way of teaching with personalized plans just for you? Learn how to play the Flute with Michael! Michael teaches a variety of instruments and subjects in the woodwind family: - Saxophone - Clarinet - Flute - Improvisation - Music Theory - Jazz Studies Michael creates versatile and fun lesson plans that incorporate learning your favorite music while teaching theory, improvisation, note reading, songwriting, or any other interests! He has an easy-to-follow, fun, but yet structured and thorough plan designed for results to help the student reach their goals, rather than imposing an one-size-fits-all plan just from lesson books! Michael teaches anyone from kids to adults and seniors and encourages all students to be creative while really understanding the music they play. Michael incorporates classical and traditional music into lesson programs alongside modern styles to create diverse and interesting repertoire!

Learn the basics to begin playing the flute which include holding the flute properly, hand positions and proper embouchure to get a beautiful sound.
