Flute Lessons Harnett County, NC

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Saxophone, Flute, Synthesizer

I don't tend to rely on any one method. I have quite a bit of material that I have personally developed over the years. I try to take each student as an individual with their own unique personality, likes and dislikes, and motivations. So I enjoy customizing a lesson plan that is as individual as each student. I do use some published materials that I have found to work well with beginning students. Read More

I believe that music students are not "one size fits all", so I create an individual approach catered to each student's strengths, weaknesses, and interests. For beginners, I typically start with the very basics such as putting the instrument together(if applicable), posture/form, and fingerings. Then, I will cater my teaching materials to the student and their situation, which sometimes means the majority of their work is print materials. Read More

Instruments: Flute, Recorder, Piccolo, Oboe, English Horn

Since learning the oboe I have been searching for every possibility to play the oboe. It all started out with my high schools Wind ensemble, and then trying out for the schools pit orchestra when the musical season rolled around! Sooner or later I had been recruited to play with the schools choir as well and then found myself seeking more and so then I asked my Band director if there were any local ensembles and he told me about the community band to which I auditioned and made it! but even then I went out of my way to find a private teacher and she points me toward a youth symphony a town over and I got into that as well..

I have been a music educator for over 20 years. I was a middle school band director for 14 years.

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace.

By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More
