Flute Lessons in Financial District. Amazing Teachers.

Experienced teacher with a doctorate from the Eastman School of Music and an undergraduate from Columbia University. I have taught beginning students as young as age 5, middle school, high school, college, and adult students. All ages and levels are welcomed! Lessons are tailored to you, and include technical skill building, a range of repertoire, and foundations of music history and theory. Let's get started!

I have a doctorate in flute performance and teach students of all ages and levels. I cover topics from developing proper form to producing a beautiful tone, creating own musical ideas, performing with self-confidence, developing a helpful warm-up, and preparing for an audition. Many of my students have made honor bands/orchestras, won competitions, and pursued music in their undergraduate/graduate degree. I tailor all lessons for the students and we work together to find the best curriculum for them.

Learning to play flute is not only learning how to be disciplined in your art, but also learning how to be creative and share music with your community. I hope to help you refine your technique as well as exploring all kinds of repertoire for the flute!

I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Flute Performance from Carnegie Mellon University School of Music, Master of Music degree in Flute Performance from Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, as a Barbara and David ...

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.

I work with the student to develop a curriculum based on their musical interests and my own teaching pedagogy. I strongly feel that for young musicians to own their education, they must have a say in what they play. Assigning method books and mindless etudes to practice doesn't have nearly the same effect asking them "Ok, what kind of music do YOU like? What do you want to PLAY? What do you want to LEARN?".

I believe that students learn best when they are invested in a subject, and the best way to get them invested is to individually get to know each one, speak to them on their level, and get them playing music they're interested in.

Experienced flutist of 9 years, I am currently a senior in high school and principal flutist of the New Jersey Symphony Youth Orchestra. I have participated in a multitude of ensembles and orchestras, along with winning many state-level and division competitions. I have also taken masterclasses with world-renowned flutists like Sir James Galway, Jeanne Baxtresser, Amy Porter, Bonita Boyd, and Bart Feller. I make sure my flute lessons challenge the student to try hard in testing their skills AND make the class entertaining! I will be teaching not just skills for an awesome flute performance, but music theory, technique, intonation, and some music history. I currently teach students of all different ages and levels, from elementary to high school, beginner to advanced! ALL ARE WELCOME!

I have played flute for over 20 years. I studied at California State University, Northridge, where I earned a Bachelor of Music degree in performance. I have been tutoring for over ten years, teaching students of all ages and levels. It is important to me that I get to know my students on a personal level, so I can cater lessons to their individual goals/learning styles. Whether you want to work on tone, prepare for an audition, or learn that song from Frozen, I look forward to working with you!
