Flute

Hi, there! My name is Elisa and I can't wait to meet you! I've been teaching private lessons since 2012 and have loved helping my students learn and/or improve their flute playing and improve their general understanding of music. I also really love helping students learn to articulate their ideas on paper! I went to East Carolina University and earned my BM in Music Performance and a BA in Hispanic Studies in 2016. I strive to make lessons both a fun and productive experience for students, and will use the educational goals that the student identifies to structure custom lesson plans for that student. I strongly believe in explaining the reasoning behind activities so students understand the goals that they are working towards in our lessons, and I am passionate about helping my students succeed. I look forward to helping you reach your goals!

I have had many different students of all experience levels, and we will work together to identify and achieve your personal goals as a flutist and musician! All lessons are constructed to be engaging, interactive, comfortable, and fun! I understand that people learn differently, and I often utilize a variety of different activities or games to understand different mechanisms for flute playing. I focus on developing sound through the identification, manipulation, and collaboration of embouchure and diaphragmatic support; developing musicality in phrasing through the relation of singing and playing the flute, and focus on correct and hand and body position to prevent injury and to facilitate all aspects of playing the flute.

Great learning. Thank  you so much to adjust teaching level that fast. I think she know well what students need.

Today we are talking about different articulation styles, techniques, and methodologies on how to execute them. Then we shift over to discussing how to get a greater dynamic range on flute so you can have as big or as little of a sound as best suits the phrasing in the pieces you play!

 Dynamics and Articulation on Flute

Shifting between registers is something that comes up in almost any piece you might want to play on the flute. The thing about shifting registers is that it can be tricky, like trying to hit a moving target. In this video I explain how you can make smooth transitions between registers, whether it is through step-wise motion or octave leaps!

Shifting Registers Seamlessly!

Lots of flute-y pieces get into the higher register of the instrument, but how do you get those notes to pop out and sing? This video will teach you the tips and tricks for popping out those pesky higher register notes, and teaches you the standard fingerings up to a C 2 octaves above the staff.

 Getting into The Higher Register

Ah the lower register- perhaps one of the trickier parts of playing flute is playing in the lowest registers of the instrument. This video teaches you the low register fingerings and gives quick tips and fixes for common difficulties students have with getting the lower register to speak on flute.

Getting into The Lower Register

This video is piggy-backing off of the video on Fingering charts where I first introduce scales. In this video, we cover the rest of the twelve major scales: in the first video we looked at Bb, F, C, and G Major. In this video we look at D, A, E, B, F#/Gb, Db, Ab, and Eb Major scales and go over how to play them one octave.

Scales Continued on Flute

Hey there! This video teaches you how to read a fingering chart for flute, the importance of scales, and walks you through learning four of the twelve major scales. Happy practicing!

Fingerings and Beginning Scales on Flute

This video will show you how to take care of your flute during and after playing! You will learn how to make your flute last longer for you and how you can reduce damage to your flute and reduce sanitary concerns. Enjoy, and happy fluting!

How to Care For Your Flute

Have you always wanted to sing but been afraid? Do you not know where to start? Start here! I talk with you about exploring your voice, matching pitch, and projecting so you can get started today in no time flat! I am self-taught, I have been where you are, and so I share the tips that I have found most helpful for getting comfortable exploring and expanding your voice- I hope it helps! :]

Singing

How to Start Singing in Less than 13 Minutes!

Have you been reading a piece and just had a difficult time with a series of notes, a measure, a scale, or anything of the sort? Today we are breaking down how to practice tricky passages on flute and how to set ourselves up for success when things seem frustrating. Happy practicing!

How to Get Past a Tricky Part on Flute

Have you found that you are stuck speed-wise? Have you seen virtuoso playing the flute really quickly and wondered how they did it? Then you will want to watch this video to find out how to play pieces faster on flute!

How to Play Faster on Flute

This video is designed to help flutists of beginning to intermediate level figure out what breath support is on flute and how to do it! If your not sure why it is important, I talk about that too in this video! If you find yourself getting light-headed or dizzy a lot on flute without being able to sustain a lengthy tone, this video is for you!
