Overview:

I am currently pursuing my Doctor of Musical Arts at the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University where I study flute with internationally-acclaimed soloist, Marina Piccinini. Before coming to Peabody I studied at the Conservatoire National de Paris as well as at l'académie international d'été in Nice, France. Further work was with Berlin Philharmonic principal flutist Emmanuel Pahud at the Domaine Forget International Academy. I previously earned degrees both at Peabody as well Oberlin College/Conservatory and have been teaching as a TA and Private teacher since my undergraduate years - working with students is really where it's at for me! I have always maintained wide-ranging and diverse teaching studios that include both flute and piano students of all ages and experience levels! Seeing that witnessing live concerts is such an integral part of the learning experience I always try to send my students information about upcoming concerts in the area and have recently been named Co-Artistic Director of the Light Street Chamber Players in Baltimore where I can provide my students with tickets and opportunities to be involved in classical music.

EXPERIENCE

Musika LLC, Baltimore/DC, MD: Flute Teacher since 2011.

METHODS USED

I believe firmly in a strong fundamental technique and a clear concept of what it means to play with a beautiful sound. Beyond that, rhythm and the development of a good ear for both pitch and style make up a good deal of what I do with my students. I emphasize scales, simple melodies, and (as things progress) a healthy dose of etudes (Andersen, Berbiguer, Bozza, etc.) and Taffanel and Gaubert Studies. I always have access to a pianist and try to make sure that my students get ample experience playing with accompaniment!

LESSON STYLE

Individual, with an initial focus on technical proficiency and sight reading.  I believe in a strong basic foundation and a LOT of performance opportunities!  A few times a year, I try to arrange to have additional performances for my students as well as providing information and updates about concerts and performances around them (my own included!).  We focus on sound and technique as part of the repertoire, not separate.  Music for festivals, all-state/solo and ensemble, auditions, etc. is also seen and ENCOURAGED - go for everything!

Andrew is a dedicated teacher and musician that is eager to share his knowledge and passion for music. He is masterful at communicating with our 8-year old girl, keeping her interest and attention throughout the lesson and motivating her to practice and get better in her free time.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.

Ok

Are you sure that's your only availability? The more availability you easier it will be to arrange a teacher for you.
