East Boston, MA Flute Lessons

We will work from the bottom up, starting with proper breathing and warm up exercises.
Scale work and technical drills are made fun through games and other means to keep things interesting :)
Repertoire work will be chosen according to experience level after basic assessment, we can work together to find something you enjoy playing.
Basic theory and music history will be addressed naturally as we work through new pieces!

I am more than happy to work on any other music you are currently playing for school or other ensembles.

Let's have fun and work hard!

I have been playing various woodwind instruments for almost my entire life. I focus on tone, intonation (staying in tune), and the confidence needed to be a strong melodic player.

Instruction for fundamentals and techniques of flute as a primary instrument (or doubling instrument) in both classical and jazz styles.

Must provide own flute -- I am willing to help find a beginner instrument.

Beginner flutists will learn to read music, and begin by learning the parts of the instrument, and the fundamentals of breathing and posture, with simple songs soon to follow.

Intermediate flutists will expand their repertoire and technique, and begin work on important orchestral excerpts and solos, with an eye towards competition. Piccolo may be explored at this point, if the player is interested.

Advanced flutists will continue to polish technique and expanding their repertoire, with a focus towards audition preparation and competition. Further piccolo work or alto/bass flute may be explored at this point.

Hi! My name is Perry and I am a recently-graduated flutist from the Eastman School of Music where I was trained in orchestra, wind ensemble, chamber music, and solo repertoire. I believe in a goal-based approach to studying music and the flute. Students of all ages and experience levels can expect that I will guide them to their individual goals at their own pace. I really love to teach and help students find their own journey through music and enrich all parts of their lives!

My name is Gena Su. I am a music educator who graduated from Boston University school of music. In these two years, I built my own teaching methods for the age of elementary and secondary, also learned the strong foundation of music theory/history.

I majored in music education/ flute performance in my undergraduate. I taught flute classes during my undergraduate study. Most of my 15 flute students continually engaged in all kinds of music making. Parents and students both love the way of learning the flute.

My teaching philosophy is a student-centered teaching model. In my class, I, as a facilitator, but authority, hope to build a bridge that is connecting both teacher's music world and students' music world! Now, Let's have fun!

We will learn basic breath technique, fingering, and easy songs through playing the music games, drawing, and singing. Students will learn fast and be happy at the same time!

A performance oriented school, DePaul University is where I had the privilege to study with Alyce Johnson of the Chicago Lyric Opera. I am a current graduate student at The Longy School of Music in Cambridge, MA. Lessons are always goal-oriented, and are focused on the fundamentals of flute playing and musical expression.

Hi, my name is Emma. I am a current Master's flute performance student at the Boston Conservatory. I have been teaching flute students for 5 years, and it is such a joy to watch my students learn while their love for music grows! I am full of energy and am excited to be your teacher!

My goal as a teacher is to create an enjoyable, comfortable, and efficient learning environment for my students. All lessons are custom-fit for each individual student. Not only do I prioritize the learning of my students, I make sure that my students are comfortable and encouraged. The love of music is important to being a motivated player. It is critical that the student are enjoying the lessons. This is why I spend much of my free time customizing a suitable lesson for each of my students. At the same time, I am extremely organized in documenting the progress of all my students. I also make sure that parents/guardians are fully aware of the progress of their children.

I am a motivated flutist looking to meet new students to share my passion for music and flute playing! I studied Flute Pedagogy in Switzerland, where I acquired diverse tools and methods to better understand the learning process and to provide a motivating lesson with different music styles: from the Classical Flute repertoire, to diverse rythms from Latin-American countries such as Venezuelan Joropos, Brazilian choros or a nostalgic tango. The focus of my lessons is to discover new ways to express yourself through the flute!
