Cincinnati, OH Flute Lessons

Flute lessons focus on posture, breath control, theory, and performance in all genres of music.

Learn about rhythm, melody, harmony, and dynamics, and how they apply to the flute. Explore the range of your instrument through various scales. Build solid skills through understanding the mechanics of how your body and instrument work together.

Instruction for fundamentals and techniques of flute as a primary instrument (or doubling instrument) in both classical and jazz styles.

International performer from small venues to large festivals. Whether you are looking to play for fun or looking to enhance your live performances as a seasoned musician, I can help you! I teach from beginner stages how to hold the flute, correct breathing, notes etc to music theory, how to jam with other musicians and different styles and techniques of playing.

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

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 teach lessons with healthy quantities of ear training, theory, fundamentals, and repertoire to create a well-rounded student. My goal is to encourage a life-long love of the flute as well as develop each student to their full potential.

With 15 years of experience and a BM and MM in flute performance, you can expect lessons from me to be the highest quality. I have had a lot experience teaching dozens of flutists of all ages, and I make sure to adjust my teaching to the needs of each student. After all, everybody is different, and I want to make sure students get the most out of their experience! Young beginners will begin in methods such as Patricia George's "Flute 101" series or Kathleen Blocki's flute method series, while intermediate and advanced players will have a more comprehensive approach with studies in tone development, technique enhancement, etudes, and solo repertoire.

When teaching lessons I like to start out by finding out where my student is currently playing at. I will then create a custom plan to suit the student's needs and interests to ensure lessons are engaging. My lessons are student focused.

I have six years' professional experience teaching privately, and I specialize in Classical, Jazz, and Rock styles. I use a patient approach to accommodate each student's unique learning styles, challenges, and interests. While each student will have a personalized experience, all the necessary fundamentals will be covered, including technique, note reading, music theory, and ear training.
