Flute Lessons in Oxford. Amazing Teachers.

Learn to play one of the most recognizable instruments in the orchestra. The flute plays beautiful melodies and embellishments to add to the mood of many pieces. I can teach you how to have a good tone, how to keep your embuchure strong, and how to keep your hands from cramping up. I will use scales, breathing drills, and support training to allow you to reach your goals. I can take you as far as playing in a mid grade orchestra, and intermediate solo pieces. Contact me to talk about your goals and set up lessons.

The student will be instructed on the basics of proper playing techniques, music theory, and musicianship. They will learn to read music and also play by ear which will make them a well rounded player.

My teaching experience includes students between the ages of 8 and 70. I believe in the individual approach and decide what music books and methods to use and recommend after the first few lessons with the student. Playing the flute is a great skill that lets you appreciate and express music. It also enhances your focus and the quickness of your mind since you think of a few things simultaneously while playing. For fun you can play your favorite song, compose one or play duets with your teacher.

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 am a recent graduate of DePaul University School of Music for my bachelor's and am further continuing my graduate studies at the Bienen School of Music at Northwestern University. I am very passionate about helping a student find their own voice while making music. Music is something that is so special and I truly believe that everyone deserves to experience it. I am open to teaching all ages and am very flexible with days and times that I teach. I cater to what the student wants to get out of lessons and will focus on specific areas that need greater attention to further enhance their playing ability.
