Flute Lessons Clayton County, GA

Instruments: Flute, Recorder, Piccolo

I began teaching in my sophomore year of college at the age of 19. I started by giving thirty minute to one hour lessons to local students. I soon began leading masterclasses for the flute students of the local middle and high schools. Most recently, I taught a masterclass to a large group (30-40) of high school flute students. I have also had training as a general music teacher (K-5), so I have taught children how to play the recorder. Read More

During the first lesson, I typically try to find out the level of the student. Once the student's level is known (beginners-advance, children-adults), not just playing and or singing ability, but their knowledge of theory, the names of the lines and spaces, the value of notes and rests, the names of the major clefs (treble and bass), etc., then we will better know what method books to engage a student in.

I believe every student learns in their own unique way and at their own pace. I try to cater to that thought when teaching and also encourage each student to become their own teacher. If the student can learn to teach themself, there is never an ending point to their education. It is very important to have a strong fundamental base, but music is more than just notes and fingerings. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to my college days as I would frequently conduct flute sectionals for local middle schools.  I began teaching flute privately in 2008 after completing my Master of Music Degree.  I currently work with students and band programs in several counties in the metropolitan Atlanta area.  My students have been selected for both District Honor and All-State Band, as well as earned places at the University of Georgia middle and high school band clinics, received college scholarships, earned superior ratings at Solo and Ensemble festival, and often occupy the principal chair in their high school band programs.
