Flute Lessons in Auraria, CO

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Bass Guitar

My teaching style is fairly easy going. I don't force unrealistic expectations on students because everyone is learning music for a different reason. I like to figure out what their reason is and progress accordingly. If it's a young student looking to continue music throughout their school career, I will make sure they learn how to read sufficiently and I will make sure they know how to play with peers by performing with the student as an accompanist.

My name is Matt and I'm a local to the Denver area. I studied Art and Music at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado where I graduated with a minor in music. I love working with students and have learned a lot over the years of taking lessons myself that I wish to share with those who have an interest in music. I've been playing flute for over 15 years and have played in many groups and ensembles. Read More

I ask all of my students to be prepared for their lessons with a notebook and pencil for lesson notes and assignments. I ask them to bring any materials they have and will often recommend books and supplemental material I have had success with. I believe in writing down notes that help students understand what they are learning, exactly what students should practice, and setting goals for their practice and overall progress. Read More

The emphasis for these lessons is on pouring your soul into some practical excercises that are applicable to the stage, whether it’s a jazz ensemble, concert band, funk band, wedding group, solo project. What the student puts in, they will receive in return. The exercises will focus largely on tone production (your personality or voice on the horn) and transcription of ideas (to develop real musical vocabulary). With these tools, the sax becomes a vehicle for self expression and an outlet for the audience, things so vital in these current times of turmoil and self doubt. Read More

I love helping students succeed, and for them to feel a sense of accomplishment as well as having a good time while playing the flute.  I try to make every lesson something exciting to look forward to, leaving them wanting to practice before every lesson, whether it be learning a new piece, improvisations, singing, or any new activities to mix it up.  I consider myself as a guide, and not someone that pushes or dictates students.
