Flute Lessons in Broomfield, CO

Instruments: Piano Flute

For beginning flute students, I typically start with the Rubank Method Books. I will have the student begin with the Elementary book and then progress to the Intermediate book followed by the Advanced book. As the student progresses I will also begin introducing solo pieces to add to their repertoire approriate for possible recitals. For adult students and more advanced players I will add etude books and other exercise books along with the Rubank Method Books. For beginning piano students, I typically start with the Faber Piano Adventures Series. Within each lesson I work on scales, technique, intonation, and musicality. I use these in each piece that is studied. I usually use a lesson book and a solo book so that the student can receive adequate instruction in all these areas. As the student progresses, other exercise books are added into the lesson. Within the lessons I apply music theory and history to their pieces and take into consideration age level so as not to overwhelm them. I believe it is important to understand these concepts as you progress in order to play the pieces in the correct styles. My practice time requirements for students vary based on level of proficiency. I want the students to enjoy learning, develop a love for music, and have fun in their lessons.

I like to understand a student on a musical level, thus letting their ability level and their drive push me in the direction most useful for the student's success. I encourage them by setting specified goals and show them how to attain them while guiding them through any necessary musical concepts they may meet along the way. I gain from my students' accomplishments a sense of pride, which makes me work just as hard for my students as they do for me. I love finding ways to inspire a student to want to learn and achieve more in their area of music. Nothing is more rewarding for me than seeing my students take on something challenging and learn it with a fervor to learn and take on more musical challenges.

I have started teaching private lessons since high school through the Suzuki Method, and into my college and graduate school years.  I have taken classes on pedagogy and teaching artistry in creative ways, such as teaching students to do improvisations and asking questions in order to get them engaged in the learning process.  I have played classical, jazz, pop, and latin music, and can teach an array of different genres.  I believe music contributes to a well-rounded individual, and will gladly accept students of all experiences and ages.  My teaching philosophy will vary based on each student's needs; however, my goal will to always keep the student engaged and having fun!

I have been playing flute since 7th grade and marching percussion since 8th grade (I am in my 3rd year in high school). I have been playing string instruments for a year and a half after taking classes in college. I have also been playing piano since I was about 10 and have picked up different instruments along the way like clarinet. I am majoring in percussion while working towards my bachelors in music education. I have played in marching band groups, winter percussion groups, drum groups, concert groups, and pit orchestras.
