Flute Lessons in Clarcona. Amazing Teachers.

I have been playing flute and piano for over 20 years. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Music Education and a Master's Degree in Flute Performance. I love working one on one with students to help them reach their goals in music. Whether that goal is for the joy and fun for music or a specific goal (ie College). I can teach in a traditional studio setting or I can set up virtual lessons.

Lessons on flute that focus on musicality and technique.

I have been teaching flute for almost 20 years. I have a doctorate in flute performance and have done training and extensive research in body mapping and efficiency of body use. I take a very holistic approach to teaching and playing the flute. Each student is a person, an individual unlike anyone else. Every body is unique and therefore will play the flute differently than other flutists. When I teach, I aim to get to know the whole person in order to effectively work with the flutist.

Music lessons should be fun, encouraging and full of music that you love. They are an opportunity to learn something new, show your improvement, and receive correction, encouragement and praise.

I like to encourage students to play because they love to play and to find the music that is an integral part of their soul, then to share that with others through performance. What do you want to do with or gain from your music? We will work toward your goals.

Lessons for all ages and levels focus on tone production through body awareness, technical fundamentals of flute playing, and music from the standard flute repertoire. Beginners through college prep and adult amateurs are welcome.
