*** Specialties ***
I have been a music teacher since 1995.  I have taught flute, harp and piano privately and for music stores.  I have also been a classroom teacher for fifteen years.  For flute, I use the Flute 101/102/103 books and supplement with various solo pieces.  I am available to help a student with audition preparation for solo and ensemble or all state competitions.  For harp, I use the Suzuki books and ABRSM materials and for piano I recommend the students work in the Faber series until Level 4 or 5 and then branch out to the piano literature.  I have a background in sacred and classical music but I am also open to working with students on pop pieces as well.

Wouldn’t you love to sit down at the piano and play a song that everybody knows? In this class, you’ll learn one easily recognizable, and simple, song to play on the piano. Check back each week for a new song!

K-12 Music

I teach harp classes at two elementary, two middle schools and one high school.  We have approximately 50 students countywide enrolled in harp.  Two of the county harp students have received full tuition college scholarships with harp being at least one of the reasons they got the scholarship.

Harp Director

I teach beginning, intermediate and advanced levels on flute.  I also work on the staff of a local church playing flute for weekly services.  I use the Suzuki method for all levels and the Blocki Flute Method and Rubank Method for all students.  I encourage students to participate in band and other musical groups and their music with that group is part of my lessons.

Private flute instructor

I taught flute, piano and harp for Tampa Music Co. (No longer in existence).

I have been a freelance harpist and flutist, performing for weddings and special occasions for 15+ years.  This summer I will be partnering with a teacher friend of mine to form Dolce Flute and Harp which will continue to offer music for weddings and special events,.

I have completed my third lesson with Pam so the experience has been great.  I love her personality.  She is very bubbly, sweet, and patient.  She is knowledgeable about the harp and it’s history.  I like how she corrects me in a positive way.  I am enjoying my lessons with her.

We had a little technical trouble getting started, but overall it was a good first lesson. Excited for next time!

Outstanding, extremely helpful. Looking forward to our next lesson.

Mrs. Irwin is fantastic with my son. She is very professional and knowledgeable and has much patience with young children. I have been taking my son to her for piano lessons for quite sometime now and he has learned so much. I highly recommend Mrs. Irwin.

Patient, explains things well.  Great instructor.

I was very impressed with Pam and her method of teaching an adult. she met my expectations and I enjoyed my lessons

My son loves his harp lessons. He is only 4, but she has made playing harp such a joy for him that he practices every day. We are very lucky to have found her.

Pam is wonderful. She really knows the harp and we hit it off very well for our first session together.  Looking forward to our next lesson.

Very good lesson!  My first with skype.  Pam was very clear, precise and helpful and made clear, good assignments for next week. SO glad I signed up for lessons with her.  This is great!

I have known Pam Irwin for more than 35 years.  She is an exceptional musician with the highest of professional standards.  She has earned a Masters Degree in flute and I was honored to have her play at my wedding.  Pam is also proficient in harp and piano and has been giving lessons for many years.  Anyone seeking lessons in flute, harp or piano would greatly benefit  from Pam's expertise and experience.

Pam Irwin is an outstanding musician and music teacher.  She has a Master's Degree in Flute and plays beautifully.  Her harp performances are enjoyed by many every week, and she is a talented teacher of harp, piano, fife, as well as flute.  I recommend her to anyone considering taking lessons in any of these areas.

As a parent of a 14 year old flutist, I was apprehensive in doing online flute lessons initially but am glad that I did. We chose Pam for our on line lesson teacher based on her high level of experience. My daughter needed help with her audition music and Pam was able to work with her to get her ready with our tight deadline that we had.  Pam even took it upon herself to look into all the material that was needed for her audition and scanned the missing docs that I overlooked.  She is always thinking ahead and preparing material for the next lesson.  I would highly recommend Pam for a private lesson teacher, I am glad we found her!

Frank Virella – Student

Pam is a wonderful flute teacher. While I was studying with her in high school, I developed a love for music and the flute that will stay with me for the rest of my life. She has a keen ability to push her students to excel, while also encouraging them and nurturing their passion for music. It has been several years since I've studied with Pam -- I've since graduated from college and moved to the West Coast -- but the lessons I learned from Pam have stayed with me, and will stay with me for many years to come.
