About Heidi S.

4.9

(82)

Heidi spends most of her time in Guatemala teaching music to children and adults who live in a private children's home in San Bartolome, Guatemala, but she continues to accept new, online flute and piano students. She has had students in 10 different states and across the world, including Guatemala, Egypt, and China. Heidi's been teaching flute and piano since 1980. She has taught flute at Tarrant County College and New Mexico State University, and at the University of North Texas and Baylor University as a graduate student. For six years she was the Advertising Editor for the National Flute Association's "Flutist Quarterly." She founded the Albuquerque Flute Association with her flute teacher, Frank Bowen in 1984. She completed all but her dissertation at the University of North Texas for a Doctorate of Musical Arts in flute performance. She arranges music for her students and for flute choir. She owns five auxiliary flutes - an Eb flute, a piccolo, a bass flute, two alto flutes, and plays on a handmade Brannen-Cooper flute. She has had articles published in "Flute Talk" and "Emerson Flute Forum." Heidi is delighted to share her vast knowledge of music with her students.

Ms Heidi, my daughter very much benefitted from your tutoring today - her music assignment submission was of a much higher quality, exactly what she was hoping to accomplish. She also feels more confident with what she learnt. Much gratitude for accomodating us on short notice, even on a weekend, thanks for the wonderful guidance and we will look forward to continue the sessions !

Heidi has been teaching my daughter the flute for 6 years now. She is an excellent teacher, truly professionalism with loving kindness and compassion. She inspires my daughter to work hard and enables her to learn progressively and achieve her goals. My daughter enjoys her every flute lesson with Heidi. With Heidi’s encouragement, my daughter has been developing a true love of music and becoming a talented flutist which became her life long achievement.
