Flute Lessons in Green Valley North. Amazing Teachers.

I studied Flute in college and have taught lessons on on it over the last 10 years.

Ten years of experience teaching flute, piccolo, and music theory to beginner, intermediate-advanced school age, early college and adult students. My primary goal is to pass on an appreciation and joy for music making to my students. Communication, respect and positivity are important elements present in all of my lessons. I devote time to expanding and stabilizing fundamental skills, as well as learning and experimenting with new techniques. I enjoy challenging my students with new repertoire regularly in order to keep them interested and engaged. I also make sure students always have access to "fun" songs, or pieces they want to play. I strongly believe music lessons should be a growing experience for students at all levels, and tailor each student's lessons to their individual goals.

I love teaching people of all ages, both child and adult students and also believe in making lessons fun and engaging. We will work on technique, scales, long tones, basics of how to play and read music but I also like working on songs that interest students. Whether it's classical, jazz, or top 40 songs I want to find what makes music special to each student!

In lessons, I will teach students how to develop an embouchure and make sound, have proper technique, discuss equipment care, how to read music and develop note recognition, and ultimately, play music. All of this while, challenging the student to expand their creative and intellectual capacities.

The goal is to get my students playing with proper technique, so that this will carry on throughout their career and playing of the instrument. After getting some sounds out of the instrument and having decent technique, students will be assigned 1-2 songs to work on each lesson. It is the learning of music on one's own, that I believe, truly challenges the student to continue to apply information given in lessons. My ultimate goal, is to equip my students with a sustainable and enjoyable approach to practicing and performing music that leaves them wanting to play more, and doesn't burn them out.

As a music Educator I have been trained in all woodwind and brass instruments. Prior to playing the Oboe I was primarily a flute player performing in ensembles and competing in competitions around the state. I have performed as a doubler in shows such as West Side Story, Cinderella, The Little Mermaid and other productions. I continue to enjoy playing the flute as well as teaching beginner through advanced students watching as they grow in technique and musicianship.
