Flute with Michelle K.

Passionate about music and flute since a young child, I have over 20 years of experience in solo performance, orchestral and ensemble work. I began my musical career in the 4th grade when first introduced to the flute. After graduating from high school in 2006, I attended Berklee College of Music in Boston MA, where I studied flute performance under Wendy Rolfe. Prior to Berklee, I was classically trained under Heather Kent and renowned flutist Gary Schocker, both at his masterclasses in upper state NY and privately when he traveled to the Boston area. Throughout my youth, I played in many ensembles in the Boston area and Northshore, including baroque ensembles with the New England Conservatory of Music and orchestral ensembles with the Northshore Youth Symphony Orchestra. In 2010 I sat as 2nd flute in the Lowell Philharmonic until I moved to New Hampshire in 2013. Since moving to NH, I have been performing with the Strafford Wind Symphony, frequently play in the Harvard Music Association's Reading Orchestra, Perform at Weddings and teach privately from my home studio. I also continue to attend Gary Schocker masterclasses to stay current and teach new techniques that improve ease of flute playing.
