Flute Lessons & Classes in North Queen Anne

The Flute is an Awesome instrument. We can play duets, learn how to beat-box on the flute, or work up a recital piece for you. Anything and everything flute!

As a private instructor, I genuinely encourage efficient practice, solid technique and good tone quality, as well as an appreciation for music. I also incorporate the study of music theory and the study of music fundamentals in my lessons. I have experience teaching the genres of classical, jazz, modern, folk, and pop music and hope to extend the joy of learning music to my students as well as help them grow and gain confidence in order to bring on-going fulfillment to their musical experience.

I am versatile flute performer. I consider myself to be at a professional level. I have experience performing in orchestra, chamber recitals, solo recitals, and early music groups. I have experience teaching students of every age group.

I teach flute students of all levels.

Specializing in saxophone, clarinet, flute and piano, I have experience in both public and private after-school programs, as well as in-home lessons settings. My formal music training began at the age of five in Vilnius Lithuania with the famous Vladimir Tchekassin. Since then, I have excelled in my saxophone studies at the Vilnius Conservatory and at the Music Academy in Cologne Germany while pursuing an active performing career. Most recently, in 2005, I followed my passion for teaching music by completing an advanced Instructor program in Instrumental Pedagogy at the Music Academy in Cologne.

I love helping students succeed, and to feel a sense of accomplishment as well as having a good time while playing. I try to make every lesson something exciting to look forward to, leaving them wanting to practice before every lesson, whether it be learning a new piece, improvisations, singing, or any new activities. I consider myself as a guide, not someone that pushes or dictates students. It is my interest to create a positive, kind, genuine, fun, and creative atmosphere during a lesson.

I have experience teaching flute lessons to everyone from ages 5 to adult and from complete beginners to aspiring professionals. My students have won local competitions and been admitted to the music programs at universities such as UNT. I like to make sure that each student's practice comes from a place of mutual respect and understanding and I emphasize clear communication in practice expectations as well as when explaining playing concepts. I am a patient teacher and questions are encouraged!

I started playing when I was 11 years old. Many private lessons later, I got a college scholarship to play my flute! Since college, I've played at my church and in a private orchestra.

I studied Music Education at the University of Houston. I participated in various competitive groups at the University. I am currently a First Grade teacher in Fort Bend ISD. This makes taking lessons with me unique because I do have my musical background but I also am a general classroom teacher with an ESL certification. I love my career but I also love teaching Flute to students of all ages. Whether you are a complete beginner or someone getting ready for your college audition I would love the opportunity to guide you in your musical endeavors!
