Towson, MD Flute Lessons

I combine many years of professional performing experience in a variety of ensembles and genres, with my advanced education - a Doctorate in Music Performance, to bring a love of music and of playing the flute to my students. I get passionate about helping my students set and meet - even exceed - their goals. Lessons and repertoire are tailored towards individual learning styles.

I am a professional flautist and have taught flute for more than 20 years to students of all age groups. Throughout my years teaching I have also been a part of a multitude of orchestras and chamber groups, held solo concerts, and done recordings for American composers.

During this time I have developed teaching methods and lesson plans starting with embrasure and breathing techniques and leading to strong memorization techniques through scales and arpeggios. I have also prepared students for solo and chamber music recitals, multiple who have gone to national and international level competitions.

I encourage my students to play music of all periods including classical as well as contemporary while keeping the environment of my lessons very friendly and fun.

I look forward to meeting you and teaching you all I have to offer!

I have taught flute privately for over 8 years. I believe that lessons should be fun and informative. I also believe in hard work and collaboration. I expect students to be prepared for each lesson with all necessary materials and eager to learn new material each week. As I mentioned earlier, I believe lessons should be collaborative meaning that the student and I will decide together what materials are best suited for their goals and needs.

I love the flute and the piccolo. I have been playing for about 10 years. It won my heart, and I hope the flute can win yours too! Please consider me to lead you in progressing your skills!
I am so very passionate about playing the flute! Being my primary instrument, I can give you lessons that will start you, or continue you on a path to success!
I absolutely love teaching the flute, and I am always looking for more students :)

If you have any questions, Let me know !

I enjoy teaching flute students of all ages, especially beginners and intermediate students!

I have been teaching flute for ten years, and my students regularly hold principal or first chair in their school ensembles. I also have had students participate in local youth orchestras, as well as All-County. In the first few lessons, we will go over the basics of flute playing, always making sure you are having fun. As we advance, we will have scales, an etude, and a duet to play each week (as well as a solo piece for advanced players).

My lessons include working through exercise aimed at improving mastery of the flute. Daily technical exercises like scales, arpeggios and thirds/sixths and tone exercises are introduced depending on the level of the student (Marcel Moyse: De La Sonorite is a required book for students at the advanced level for example). Other focuses of the lessons include work on solo, chamber, and orchestra literature as well as other music that interests the student and/or parent.

I have been playing jazz and classical flute, alto flute, and piccolo for over 15 years. My emphasis is on keeping students engaged and interested. As a composer and arranger, I can create custom exercises, short pieces, and arrangements of pop, video game, jazz, etc. tunes to facilitate student progress. I am also willing to collaborate with school band and orchestra teachers to optimize student success!

I have been teaching flute lessons for the past 10 years to a wide variety of ages and skill-levels. All of my lessons are customized to cater to the needs and goals of each individual student. My curriculum focuses on music theory and fundamentals, with an emphasis on tone and technique to really get the most out of our time together.

With over seven years of teaching experience at all levels, I hope to make your flute studies fun and fulfilling! Lessons will be taught in a positive and encouraging environment! I aim to instill on all students a strong fundamental basis so that they can express themselves freely without struggle. I treat all students as individuals, developing a student-teacher relationship based on your personal goals, developmental needs, and learning style!
