The basics of making a sound on the flute and some beginner exercises to try!

Flute

After playing the flute and piano on my own for seven years, I began my classical music education at the age of sixteen with international soloist Jun Kubo. Only a year and a half after I began my studies with Jun Kubo, I was accepted into The College of New Jersey for a Bachelor's program in Music Performance where I studied with David DiGiacobbe. While at TCNJ, I performed my own programs in Mayo Concert Hall, featuring soloistic works by composers such as Nielsen, Hoover, and Takemitsu. I also had the pleasure of performing with the TCNJ Opera, Chamber, and Symphony Orchestras. I went on to perform with the NYU Symphony Orchestra and participate in the NYU Chamber Music program where I have played with a Trio, Quintet, Sextet, and flute ensemble. I have participated in masterclasses with performers such as Trevor Wye, Min Park, Gary Shocker and Bradley Garner. I currently run my own teaching studio in Highlands, NJ where I teach music theory, woodwinds, voice, and piano. I have obtained my Bachelors from The College of New Jersey in music performance, and my Master of Music degree from NYU, where I studied with Bradley Garner. I also teach at a music conservatory in Springfield, NJ as well, where I have been teaching Woodwinds, Piano, Voice and Music Theory for about 5 years.

I use a very supportive and positive teaching style. I believe that music lessons should be a way to help build self esteem as well as show students that they are capable of great things! I always incorporate music theory in my lessons as well! I think it is vital that students understand at least some music theory in order to understand what they are learning and why. I do think fundamentals are vital for every instrument, but I also think it is important for students to learn pieces and genres that interest them as well.

I am always excited to meet new students and share the joy of music!

The materials I use for my flute lessons usually consists of embouchure exercises, finger exercises, tonguing exercises, and scales, in addition to following the Rubank book series of flute instruction. This well rounded practice regime, if practiced regularly, makes for quick and thorough improvement! I also love incorporating pieces, ranging from classical to pop, based on the students interest.

Fantastic!  Katie is a wonderful instructor.

Katie was really great and engaging with my son.

Katie is an excellent teacher for both of my children 6 and 8

My daughter is on her 3rd lesson with Katie and from what I here she is very positive and patient.

Katie,
Came to my home in Atlantic Highlands and was very supportive of my daughter.
She gave her materiel to practice and taught her how to read music. A lot was accomplished in a half hour.  We look forward to her next lesson.
