*** Lesson Details ***
I am pretty easy going. I want you to feel comfortable and at ease, but we do need to focus and can have fun doing it. :)
I utilize various methods for each instrument, which is determined by the students learning style and ability; needs, so this can change as time goes on (not sticking to one particular publishers materials). I have done (and continue to do) extensive research into materials available for each instrument I teach, and supplement with my own, to utilize the best out there for "YOU" for the best possible progress. While ensuring an extremely well-rounded musical education, so you can progress at the best possible rate. Since each student's potential is different, each will progress differently. This is also determined by your dedication to daily practice (the more you practice, the quicker you will progress & the more accomplished you will become). This is a 'Team Effort'; I give the guidance and tools. You practice, utilize learn these tools, and off we go! The sky is the limit!

I have been playing for 12 years, but am young enough to remember (and still feel!) the struggles of practicing and playing the flute. In addition, haven taken over 5 years of Music Theory and Ear Training at music conservatories, I can provide a great way for beginners to learn to read music as well as to hear it.
I will incorporate these aspects into your lessons:
-scales/technique
-articulation
-tone
-intonation
-vibrato
-rhythm
-musicality/being inspired
-how to practice/practice methods
Happy flute playing! :)

About Alyssa A.
Close
In my teaching, I encourage each student to explore his or her own unique talent through the artistic medium of the flute. During my lessons, students will be encouraged to actively listen to their own playing and learn how to teach themselves. No matter the student’s goals—whether it be pursuing a career in music or not—I believe that every student can learn and grow as a person through regular music lessons.
I believe that each person can inspire a truly musical performance through the thoughtful study of the flute. By first understanding and mastering the basic flute techniques, students can begin to appreciate the many benefits of an education in music. By then studying the language of music, such as phrase structure and style, students can perform to their utmost ability and let their talents flourish.
There are many skills outside of the musical that students can learn by studying the flute. Students will learn about confidence, perseverance, time-management, and critical

About Jennifer R.
Close
Music lessons should be fun, encouraging and full of music that you love. They are an opportunity to learn something new, show your improvement, and receive correction, encouragement and praise. Students and instructors should play together frequently throughout and the time should be balanced with theory, technique and exercises, sight-reading, and performance and seasoned with introductions to a variety of music and styles. I like to encourage students to play because they love to play and to find the music that is an integral part of their soul, then to share that with others through performance. What do you want to do with or gain from your music? We will work toward your goals.
About Jennifer
I come from a musical family and have been singing and playing the piano since before I can remember. Flute (and piccolo) lessons began for me in the 7th grade and I participated in both concert and marching bands from there though college. Now I take regular opportunities to play with various groups of all sizes.
I have taught music (theory, flute, piano and vocal) to students of varying ages and backgrounds both individually and in groups. Working as the woodwind and marching assistant at my alma mater was a thrill and I enjoied seeing and helping students push themselves and reap the rewards of both talent and recognition for their efforts and accomplishments.
While participating in the Prince William Community Band, I had the opportunity to learn to play some percussion instruments and played in that section for a couple years. I have been a music director for several years and enjoy arranging music. It is never to late to start learning if you have the desire and persistence.

About Lorie H.
Close
I fell in love with the flute at the age of 5 after hearing my aunt play. When I first tried to play, I couldn't make a sound. However, I decided I wanted to play flute in my school band anyway at the age of 10 years old. I ended up learning the flute and excelling as a first chair player all through high school. In college, I continue to playing because I loved it and planned to major in music education.
I would like to teach beginning and intermediate students how to play an instrument I absolutely love. I will include scales, tonguing, breathing and other basics of instrumental music for woodwind instruments focusing on flute. Additionally, I will give ideas on solos or things for students to focus on or practice in the future.
About Lorie
Additionally, I like giving flute lessons because I have received lessons in the past and I know how helpful and motivating they are. Lessons help you to outline what your goals are for playing. Plus, you have someone to critique your playing and give you correct instruction in areas where you are weak.
I majored in psychology and love learning all about it. The schools of thought and how our brain learns and
Experience:
I have an Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from the University of Idaho. I started as a major in music education and math education, and decided they were not for me because I preferred tutoring, instead of teaching a lot of students at once. I couldn't stand leaving a student behind to struggle on their own and possibly give up on something due to time constraints or not understanding how something was taught. I prefer to work with students one on one or in small groups, so they receive individualized attention. I like to tailor my lessons to each student and really focus on what they need help with to build a solid foundation for the next stepping stone in their education, whether it's Algebra or Flute.
I have tutored in math for over 9 years. Most of that is 9 years solid, but I started with part time here and there as a middle school student.
I also started teaching flute lessons as a high school student to beginning middle school students at the request of my band teacher.
I truly believe if you set your mind to learn something, you can. We are so lucky to be living in an age when education can be found easily. I hope you will consider taking lessons with me so we can help each other learn!
