Flute Lessons in Cory-Merrill. Amazing Teachers.

I can help you or your child learn how to play flute, establish fundamentals and have fun doing it.

Able to teach all levels of students.

I cover scales/theory, tone production and song learning. I will cater to the students desires and learning styles.

Having been a performer for many years, I've developed a method of flute education that is fool-proof. In lessons, we'll discuss tone production, technique, important repertoire, interpretation, musical context, and basic theory in order to become a well-rounded musician, not just a flute player! I aim to keep lessons fun, exciting, and engaging through the student's musical journey.

For your first flute lesson, please bring your flute, a music stand, and a love for music! We will begin by quickly talking through your goals and reasons for learning flute, as that informs my approach to your individual lessons. I emphasize a strong foundation in beautiful tone, technique, intonation, rhythm, and most importantly, the ability to communicate with musical phrasing. We can work on anything from learning how to produce a sound and mastering your scales, to preparing for auditions and performance skills. No need to bring sheet music if you don't know what to work on yet - I'll provide music and repertoire suggestions!

Need help on an upcoming audition? Starting flute for the first time? I tailor my teaching to each student individually while covering a wide range of topics including but not limited to:
flute technique,
producing good tone,
efficient practicing,
aural and theory techniques,
basic music history,
and rhythm.
