Flute Lessons in Weston. Amazing Teachers.

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.

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 am a conservatory trained flutist that loves teaching beginning to intermediate students. I approach teaching as a unique collaboration between me, the student, and their parents, when working with children. A single concept can be approached from many angles, and I am committed to finding the best way to communicate with each student. My goal as a teacher is to see the potential in each student, and help them reach the next level of mastery.

I always begin lessons with some form of warm up to focus on beauty in tone and then I follow that with exercises that build technique. I am happy to work with students with whatever method book they are currently using but I am also happy to suggest method books and literature that I feel could further guide their growth. My lessons are very student-centered in that I see what the student's goals are and work from there. I adjust my lessons based on how the student is performing that day. I am happy to teach students of any age and of any ability level!

Experienced in bassoon and clarinet as well as other band instruments. Beginning band to high school students welcome. Focus on long tone exercises, scales, articulation, and more. Lessons are customized and student led. Students will learn about rhythm, melody, form, and other musical skills as well as instrument skills.

I have been teaching flute for 20 years and I enjoy working with students of all ages to help them reach their goals. At the beginning level, I use the Rubank Method, Suzuki Book 1 and 40 Little Pieces. At the intermediate level, students advance to the Rubank Method (Book II), Suzuki Book II and III and beginning etudes and scales and at the advanced levels I work on tone, technique, standard repertoire and college requirements.
