The Flute is an Awesome instrument. We can play duets, learn how to beat-box on the flute, or work up a recital piece for you. Anything and everything flute!

I have been performing and teaching lessons as my full time career for over 10 years. I am new to Portland, and I'm very excited to establish my teaching studio here.

I teach ages 7 through adult, beginners through advanced, and enjoy customizing each student's lessons according to their own goals. I often include different genres and styles of music, mindfulness, meditation, and body awareness practices, ear training, improvisation, and music theory.

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

I've been playing the flute for almost twenty years and have been teaching for nearly that long. I create a teaching environment that is safe and supportive. Regardless of skill level, my students learn various genres of music and will develop a keen sense of flute pedagogy and technique.

I have taught flute privately for over 8 years. I believe that lessons should be fun and informative. I also believe in hard work and collaboration. I expect students to be prepared for each lesson with all necessary materials and eager to learn new material each week. As I mentioned earlier, I believe lessons should be collaborative meaning that the student and I will decide together what materials are best suited for their goals and needs.

I like to give students a good solid theoretical foundation first, then build to confirm with the students specific goals. For example, if the student is into a particular type of music (jazz, soul, classical...) I tailor the lessons to meet those goals.

I have two years experience on private flute class, specializing in the beginner/intermediate student! All ages welcome.

In my flute class, I hope to establish a partnership with my students, not as an authority, but as a facilitator to motivate their passion for music. By empowering students, I hope they will realize how capable they are, and be guided by passion and love for diverse kinds of music.

Students will self-evaluate their song quality, rhythm and articulation using rubric and recording.

Lessons are customized and catered to the needs/goals of each student. And the music genres are depended on students' music taste.

I offer 45-minute and 60-minute private flute lessons from my home in Cross Junction, VA. I've taught private flute lessons for the last 10 years and have worked with students of all ages--8 to 73! My students have gone on to win local and state-wide competitions and have been accepted to collegiate music programs.

Music lessons teach much more than music. In addition to music knowledge, I hope my students walk away from flute lessons with a sense of self-confidence, an inquisitive mind, and a joy for learning. My students and I work together to create fun and attainable goals while learning the importance of responsibility, punctuality, and self-motivation. Music lessons should be a safe and fun space for students to stretch their boundaries and be creative.

Music lessons aren't just for kids! Some of my most memorable students were adults. Don't be afraid to try something new!
