Boys Town, NE Flute Lessons

The private lesson experience is unique in that it allows for more “customized” instruction that group lessons or rehearsals alone are not able to give. The instructor and student work one on one as a “team” toward the ultimate goal: a better understanding of their instrument, and a higher level of musical development.

In every lesson, we will work to improve technique, tone production, and listening/music reading skills, among other things. I will assign exercises and/or pieces each week that are meant to challenge, not overwhelm! Sometimes I will assign an exercise that is expressly meant for a particular area in which the student may not be the strongest, in an effort to develop that area. Learning an instrument is a skill that takes time to develop, and it is within the journey where most valuable learning takes place!

I've played flute for about 6 years and enjoy teaching beginners and intermediate players.

Instruction for fundamentals and techniques of flute as a primary instrument (or doubling instrument) in both classical and jazz styles.

Flute can be a very difficult, yet rewarding instrument. With many years of teaching and professional playing experience, I can give you exercises and help you develop a a strong solid tone in every register of the instrument!

I vary students’ lessons with their interests and find the best teaching methods and practices to fit their needs. Because I believe everyone is different and unique. No one can stop you on learning anything but yourself. Therefore, I want students to focus on every lesson and have to practice outside of class which are required and important. Playing music is fun but learning takes time!!

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.

With 15 years of experience and a BM and MM in flute performance, you can expect lessons from me to be the highest quality. I have had a lot experience teaching dozens of flutists of all ages, and I make sure to adjust my teaching to the needs of each student. After all, everybody is different, and I want to make sure students get the most out of their experience! Young beginners will begin in methods such as Patricia George's "Flute 101" series or Kathleen Blocki's flute method series, while intermediate and advanced players will have a more comprehensive approach with studies in tone development, technique enhancement, etudes, and solo repertoire.

My name is Kelsey Yeh, I have recently completed my Masters in Flute Performance at CSUF. I have over 7 years of teaching experience and have studied with many world renowned flutists.
Lessons include instruction on all aspects of music performance and theory, from learning to read music to advanced analysis. Whether you want to prepare for an audition, just play for fun, or want to add to your extra-curriculars for college applications, I can help you.

I am a very experienced flute player and teacher with many years of experience. I am currently a senior studying flute performance at the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University, and I am very understanding and helpful in lessons. I try my hardest to explain things in as many ways to help students learn individually, as every student learns in different styles.
