Ballston Lake, NY Flute Lessons

I have been playing the flute since I was in high school. I have performed with flute choirs in high school and college. I have also played the flute in a community wind ensemble. I can work with beginner and intermediate students.

Students can expect to learn basic and intermediate flute skills. I will teach good posture, rhythm, tone and technique building exercises. I use specific pieces and etudes to get the desired results.

Access decades of flute experience and a thorough knowledge of flute repertoire, having majored in flute during undergraduate studies with flute lessons. In addition to performing, I have worked with and arranged music for flute ensembles of varying abilities. Beginner through advanced, children and adults are very welcome.

Flute lessons from a kind, encouraging, and dedicated teacher. All ages and abilities welcome!

Played the flute since it frustrated me in 5th grade as the only instrument I couldn't make a sound out of. Now have been playing for 11 years with 6 years of experience teaching flute lessons. First chair wind ensemble in high school, 1 semester of concert band in college.

The student will be instructed on the basics of proper playing techniques, music theory, and musicianship. They will learn to read music and also play by ear which will make them a well rounded player.

Your flute lessons will be tailored to your flute playing goals. We will cover everything from the fundamentals of flute playing to studying advanced literature, depending on your level of playing and ambition.
