Flute Lessons in East Boston. Amazing Teachers.

I am a flute player based in Boston. I have been playing for 10 years and teaching for 5 years now and am absolutely delighted to work with students, but more importantly, to see that they are having fun and growing in the process. My lessons will cater to each student's individual needs, while working on the fundamentals of flute playing and playing a wide range of pieces.

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!

As a music Educator I have been trained in all woodwind and brass instruments. Prior to playing the Oboe I was primarily a flute player performing in ensembles and competing in competitions around the state. I have performed as a doubler in shows such as West Side Story, Cinderella, The Little Mermaid and other productions. I continue to enjoy playing the flute as well as teaching beginner through advanced students watching as they grow in technique and musicianship.

As classically trained musician, I have found myself playing a wide range of genres in my professional life. I work in NYC as an actor/musician, and am currently performing Off-Broadway as the the Fiddler in The Fiddler on the Roof. I love working with students of all ages!

Etude studies, finger exercises, classical, jazz, and symphonic flute. Proper playing position. Music theory (reading notes, chords, key signatures and writing music). Playing by ear.

I offer my flute students of all ages and levels inspiring and interesting lessons based on classical repertoire, exercises and studies from from the Western European traditions of mostly the French school of flute playing, but also borrowing from the English and German traditions.

I work with my students to develop and improve tone quality and pitch control. I guide them through Moyse, De La Sonorite, and Trevor Wye's Practice Book 1 on Tone and note bending exercises. While guiding my students through exercises, etudes and pieces, I strive to sharpen their listening skills by drawing their attention to fuzzy tone, faulty pitch, uneven fingers etc. I use tuners and metronomes in my lessons to encourage these skills and to teach my students how to practice to get great results.

I thoroughly enjoy teaching and playing flute! With over 25 years of experience, I still find teaching to be the most rewarding and fun experience. I always look forward to meeting and working with new ...
