Flute Lessons Dallas County, TX

For beginners I generally use Rubank method. I feel this text is complete and covers all of the material that beginning woodwind players need. The intermediate method has even more material as well as repertoire to start the important process of learning longer pieces of music.

In that time, I was given many leadership opportunities including flute choir president and marching band head drum major, allowing me to begin to hone my skills as an educator. Read More

I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy their instrument and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More
