Janesville, WI Flute Lessons

From the Beatles to Bach to the Beastie Boys.

I have taught all levels of flute.

I teach flute etiquette, how to make a sound with a flute, scales, and exercises, as well as help you with any type of music you want to learn. I also offer different practice books and sheet music to use during lessons. My teaching style is laid back and casual in nature. I believe the most productive learning comes through relationships, trust, and fun! I strive in cozy spaces and work to create a homey and welcoming place for my students.

My expertise: I have been playing flute since 2003 and have been involved with music my entire life. I played the flute throughout middle and high school, and I continue playing for weddings, holiday performances, etc. to this day. I have consistently auditioned for All-County performances all throughout middle and high school, and have received top positions. I truly enjoyed my years involved with flute all throughout school!

I have been teaching flute for 22 years. I have an earned Masters degree in music and enjoy teaching students of all ages. I am happily married with 5 children at home--4 of them are musicians as well (the youngest is 4).. Students will quickly learn not only the basics of music theory, but will be playing songs as early as their first lesson. It is extremely rewarding watching students have fun, excel, and fall in love with making music. I look forward to working with you.

As a devoted instructor, I have a passion for teaching students of all levels. I use knowledge I learned from my flute professors and create a teaching style based on each of my students' individual needs. I value the student being able to create their own ideas and suggestions.

I cover topics from developing proper form to producing a beautiful tone, creating own musical ideas, performing with self-confidence, developing a helpful warm-up, and preparing for an audition.

With my 15 years of experience and a Bachelor's and Master's degree in flute performance, you can expect lessons from me to be the highest quality. I have years of experience teaching dozens of flutists of all ages, and I make sure to adjust my teaching to the needs of each individual student. Everybody is different, so I want to make sure students get the most out of their experience! Young beginners will begin in methods such as Patricia George's "Flute 101" series or Kathleen Blocki's flute method series, while intermediate and advanced players will have a more comprehensive approach with studies in tone development, technique enhancement, etudes, and solo repertoire.

Custom tailored lessons for a solid foundation. Having fun is also a top priority when beginning lessons!

I'm a professional flutist and pianist who recently graduated from Berklee College of Music. I also have a performance Bachelor from one of the best music performance universities in Taiwan, which is Taipei National University of the Arts. I have played the flute for 18 years and piano for 20 years. Also, I have lots of experience playing in a vast amount of different type of concerts. From chamber to orchestra, from pop to classical, and from section player to an orchestra soloist. The lessons are personally customized and a variety of styles such as: Pop, classical, jazz, world music and more will be learned.

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.
