Flute Lessons in Scarsdale. Amazing Teachers.

I started formal music training at the age of four and earned a Master's Degree in Flute Performance at New York University. Since 2010, I have been giving music lessons. Most of my students passed and reached the short-term goals or exams I gave them, including NYSSMA, ABRSM, and some of them even got accepted into special high schools. I have my own teaching curriculum and style; I will as well use some special tools to help students improve, and teach some music theory, ear-training, sight-reading, and a lot more techniques in our lessons. But generally, all lessons are customized and catered depends on each student's abilities and goals. We can definitely figure out together the best way to help you or your child to improve. Take lessons with me, not only will you be playing songs in no time, but you will be building a strong foundation of music making!

I have a wide range of experience in different genres of classical music having played in a variety of ensembles: orchestral to contemporary. In addition to learning the basics of flute playing, I can introduce students to extended techniques on the flute. I also believe that music lessons should be fun, and would LOVE to help you play your favorite music -- whether it's classical music, or your favorite song on the radio. More about my education and experience: I received my Bachelor of Music degree at Grand Valley State University (GVSU) in Michigan, and came to NY to pursue my Master of Music at NYU. During my time at GVSU, I played with the New Music Ensemble (NME), in addition to playing in orchestra and wind ensemble. At NYU, I am playing with the NME, Contemporary Music Ensemble (CME), and NYUO1 (orchestra). I can be heard on GVSU NME's latest album "return," and on the GVSU Symphonic Wind Ensemble's album "Under Western Skies." I hope to hear from you soon!

I understand that everybody learns differently. I take pride in individualizing every lesson to meet the unique needs of the student. I find so much joy and passion helping someone learn the flute, which has been in my life for over 19 years. Learning is the flute is fun and enjoyable, so lessons with me are too! :)
