Flute Lessons in Janesville. Amazing Teachers.

I have taught all levels of flute.

Each lesson will focus on the fundamentals of flute playing (breathing, posture, tone color, technique, and articulation). We also delve into the theory and history behind the music they study. Depending on the level of the student, each of these aspects are adhered to on a different level. As I have found the majority of flute development happens during their individual practice at home, I also focus time on the art of practicing, that way the student can develop this essential habit.

My teaching practices are deeply rooted in the philosophy that each student has potential and a musical voice to share. I believe that through open-mindedness, hard work, and dedication, any student can become an effective music communicator.

As a teacher, my first goal is to facilitate learning and growth so that
students may develop their own inner musical voices. My job as a teacher is to spark independent thinking and encourage students to pursue work that is artistically and personally satisfying for them. Ultimately, I want to guide students to become their own best teachers, enjoy the learning process, and discover how music can be a tool for personal expression.

I teach beginning through advanced students of all ages. I emphasize the importance of setting short- and long-term goals with each of my students.
As a studio teacher, I provide an environment for students to
1) explore, 2) have new experiences, and 3) develop good playing habits.

Flute is a joy to play, for those simply looking for a hobby, and for more focused study.

As a music educator I have years of experience teaching privately and in classrooms, for individuals and groups. I craft lessons to the needs and interests of each student, to ensure they are getting the most of our time together. Many of my students enjoy, for example, video game and TV show music - so, these pieces are some of the repertoire we'll work on together. My goals as a teacher are to instill proper playing technique, guide how to shape the music, establish good practice habits, and above all find ways to connect students with the music they're studying. At the end of the day, we play music because it's fun!

I have 15 years of experience teaching flute to students from the first day through college and beyond. I specialize in tailoring lessons to fit the needs and goals of each individual student and fostering a love of music through the playing of flute.
