Flute Lessons in Addison. Amazing Teachers.

I have over 20 years experience teaching flute players ranging from beginners through advanced. We work hard and have a lot of fun!

Many of my students have had successful auditions for honor/state groups and youth orchestras, and have won scholarships for college. My local students perform several times throughout the year in studio recitals, local flute events and giving back to the community. I work with my online students to find ways for them to perform as well.

I love teaching and watching my student achieve new goals and play things they thought were impossible. Everything takes work, but with repetition, encouragement, and fun, it is all possible!

I teach through the perspective of a modern musician and songwriter. I want to make sure you are relaxed and having fun in our lessons and that we are following a path of learning that resonates with you. In flute lessons with me, you will learn how to use the right air pressure, placement and posture to create beautiful clear notes, How to read music, music theory knowledge and vocabulary and how to control, sustain and manipulate breath to play through pieces of growing difficulty. We will do this through traditional flute method and exercise books as well as by playing the melodies you know and love. Learning the flute can feel daunting at first, but I can help you to quickly create great sounding notes so you can get to playing!

Key aspects of my teaching are:
- Provide a safe learning setting that encourages my students to explore their potential.
- Design fun and effective exercises based on each individual’s strengths and weaknesses.
- Incorporating Body Work principals (Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais, and Anatomy) that will help students build fast and easy a strong, effective and pain-free technique.
- Teach the art of intelligent practicing. Gain maximum results with minimum
effort!
- Explore and express their own emotions and ideas about every piece by
engaging their imagination and creativity.
- Enjoy every moment of the journey and build a powerful and effective
flute-playing as well as a strong self-esteem through music making.

I can help beginners get started or coach advanced students who are preparing for auditions.

Flute instruction that includes technique work on tone quality,agility,and musicality in a fun and supportive environment. Recitals twice per year.

I offer individualized private lessons for children and adults. If you have taken lessons and want to continue your education, or you have always had a dream to play an instrument and are finally ready to start, I am happy to help and show you the path to the joy of music. I can teach you piano and flute, and will give you understanding of musical theory. I can prepare you for competitions and exams, or teach music just for fun - for your or your kids’ enjoyment.
