About Adam
Hello! My name is Adam and I'm so happy to be a part of this community! I've moved here from the east coast where I was a teacher and co-director for music programs at a K-8 music school for 6 years. Currently, I'm a director for a music program in North Portland. During my almost two decades of teaching around the world, I've come across many students of all ages with various levels. Many have won competitions and have participated in regional bands. I’ve graduated with honors from New England Conservatory of Music with a Masters in flute performance. I’ve studied in Switzerland with James Galway and in London with William Bennett, and in the USA with Tara O’Connor and Paula Robison. While living in Germany, I studied at the Hochschule fur Musik und Darstellende in Frankfurt with Thaddeus Watson. With my verse background in performi
ng and music education, I’ve found unique and fun ways to teach students and have them exceed in any of their endeavors.

About Jeff J.
Close
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 studied classical guitar with well-known Cuban virtuoso, Carlos Molina & Adam Holtzman.

About Hunter A.
Close
I have been a flautist for 18 years, and a professional performer for 5 years. I was taught under Dr. Ellen Kaner, head of the Texas Flute Society and chair of the famous Texas Flute Festival. She instilled in me a teaching style that proves to steadily better students while keeping them interest. I believe great playing is built on correct technique and a passion for growth. I teach music theory and harmony through fun activities like flute duets. I enjoy working on pieces by the composers or the styles that the student is interested in!
About Hunter
I am currently a senior at the University of Texas in Arlington where I am majoring in vocal performance and music education. I am an accomplished vocalist and flautist with such awards as Baritone in The Texas All-State Choir, Outstanding Flute Soloist at the Flute Festival, Best Vocalist of the Day at the State Vocal Solo Competition, and All-Area band. I was taught flute under Dr. Ellen Kaner, guitar under Erick Kahn, and vocals under Myron Ice (vocal coach of Mitch and Kirstie of Pentatonix). I also have more than 8 years of piano and guitar experience as an active performer. My fiancée, Savannah Low (former American Idol top 24), and I run a professional social occasion performance business called Hunter&Savannah. I currently am the lead vocalist of the hard rock band Lightfall. I have also written and performed lead vocals on many a
lbums in different genres such as Vita Versus' 'Nomads' LP, Lightfall's 'Uncharted' EP, and various original songs and covers recorded for Hunter&Savannah. I have opened for such acts as Daughtry, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Hawthorne Heights, and Tonight Alive. I believe in creating better musicians AND people out of my students. I love teaching people of all ages and walks of life!

Review by Jennifer
"Mr Eccleston is a great teacher. He is very engaging, and my daughter loved to play flute with him. He helped her to feel inspired and involved and moti
vated. His warm and caring personality helped her to grow into her musical self. He balanced his joyful approach with concrete and specific learning goals and skills. I wish he had stayed in Boston so all of my children could study with him. Lucky you if you arrange for lessons with him."

Review by David
"If you are looking for a great teacher who is also a consummate musician and performer, then look no further. I hired Adam as flute instructor at the Cons
ervatory Lab Charter School in Boston where I was co-director and founder of one of the top youth orchestra programs in the country. He went on to produce the best flute section I have ever had the privilege to work with. There is not enough space here to list all of the wonderful things about Adam, as a flutist, musician, and teacher, but I can tell you that if you are lucky enough to get into his private flute studio, you will look back and see that he was one of the best all around teachers you ever had."
