"Success Starts Here".... Love for the Flute/Piccolo and teaching over 40 years creates a fun learning experience for all ages..."I'm the Pied Piper of the Flute and Piccolo"..."Follow Me To Success"...email me....

Specializing in saxophone, clarinet, flute and piano, I have experience in both public and private after-school programs, as well as in-home lessons settings. My formal music training began at the age of five in Vilnius Lithuania with the famous Vladimir Tchekassin. Since then, I have excelled in my saxophone studies at the Vilnius Conservatory and at the Music Academy in Cologne Germany while pursuing an active performing career. Most recently, in 2005, I followed my passion for teaching music by completing an advanced Instructor program in Instrumental Pedagogy at the Music Academy in Cologne.

All levels, all styles. Learning to write for-flute as well as playing all styles..

Leslie is currently pursing her Bachelors of Music Performance in Flute from the University of Denver's Lamont School of Music. She enjoys working with students of all ages and has particularly loved working with Laurel Music Camp for the last few years. In addition to focusing on challenging and innovative solo programming, she is also a member of a woodwind trio. This trio were the youngest winners of the Lamont Chamber Honors Competition. She has a wide range of repertoire under her belt that she would love to teach to other flutists!

I have played with the Waco Symphony orchestra and toured with several groups to national music conventions. I am experienced teaching students who make all-state bands and win regional competitions. Expect a personalized curriculum covering fundamentals, short studies, and solo repertoire.

As a teacher, my goal is to instruct as well as inspire each student to reach for his or her highest potential. I hope to give each student the tools to progress so that one day they can be their own best teacher, and play with a sound and style that is uniquely their own. Most importantly, I hope to instill a desire to learn and a mindset that the art of flute playing is fun and that it is just as we call it--playing.
