I've been playing the flute most of my life and studied with a few of the best flute professors in the country. I have been teaching privately for 7 years. My teaching style is very flexible, though I expect dedication and hard work from my students. As my student you will learn not only flute, but you will gain a general knowledge of music theory and harmony, knowledge of musical phrasing and interpretation, as well as proper movement and body alignment similar to Alexander techniques.

Experienced teacher for 5 years; specializing in flute! All ages/levels are welcome and encouraged. I will help you learn basic music theory and technique, while also focusing on musicality and expression. You will be learning different songs and pieces so quickly and building a great foundation in your musicianship.

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.

In each lesson, you will learn: 1) Breathing technique. 2) Proper body posture. 3) Embouchure and tone production. 4) Note names and fingerings. 5) Playing tunes by ear, and 6) Playing tunes by reading music notation. I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

10 years of experience playing and teaching woodwinds professionally; Doctorate of Music. No matter your experience level or goals, I make lessons engaging and positive. Learn fundamentals, improvisation, and play the music you've always wanted to!
