If you have heart and the will, anyone can learn to play an instrument.

Are you looking for the moment your playing feels easy and free? I used to struggle with limitations in my playing until I met a teacher who changed my life. While studying with her, I developed a passion for the fundamentals, exercises that created ease of playing, and body awareness that allowed me to play expressively and with joy. I have been where you are, and I’m learning more every day - I understand the issues you may be facing with tone production, performance anxiety, technical facility, and practice habits and I know how to help!

We’re a good fit if:

• You’re a beginner wishing to learn the instrument for the first time.

• You’re a high school student preparing for All-State, college auditions, or you simply want to better your skills.

• You’re a college-aged student looking to gain fresh perspective and ease of playing.

• You’re an advanced level player looking for advice on audition material.

• You’re an adult student who wants to better your playing or you’re coming back to your instrument.

With a beginner instrumentalist, we'll focus on how to properly care for your instrument, how to comfortably hold it, how to create a clean and rich tone, and the fundamentals of technique, theory, and ear training. Private lessons are a perfect supplement to large group, in-school lessons and can provide your musician with the one-on-one attention they need. Each student is different, but with young beginner musicians, I recommend a half hour lesson.

For intermediate or advanced flutists, we'll focus on honing your technique, strengthening your foundation, body awareness, and providing you with all of the tools to express music in the way you wish. We'll fill in holes and correct habits that may have been previously learned. All advanced students still in high school are encouraged to audition for the All-State Festival, Honors Band Festivals, and any competitions or masterclasses in the area. When it comes time to upgrade on instruments, I will be there to answer any and all questions and accompany you to try out flutes. With more advanced students, I recommend a 45 minute or hour long lesson.

For adults coming back to the instrument, we’ll focus on creating ease of playing and get your playing back to an enjoyable place. For adults who want to better their playing, we’ll fill in holes and correct habits that may be inhibiting your playing. We’ll focus on body awareness, techniques, and developing a sense of musicality and interpretation. Repertoire will be picked based on level, goals, and personal interest.

I have experience working with students with special needs and would be happy to set up a consultation with you and your family before starting lessons.
