Flute Lessons in East End, MD

Instruments: Flute

Everyone is taking music lessons for different reasons. There is no correct path to teaching when each student wants something different out of lessons. Some want a laid back hobby to develop and have fun with, while others want to compete and become professional; and I adapt to each students goals and wants. I like to start my students off with a strong foundation. I like to use books written by flute players such as Trevor Wye or Moyse, instead of standard band methods. Read More

Lessons will be tailored to each student's interests and goals. I will encourage strong foundation skills - such as tone, articulation, scales and basic theory, for a short example - for those aspects are very important.   Whether the student wishes to incorporate those skills a Broadway Musical Show Book or to prepare themselves for success in school band, district band, or school auditions I am happy to help students find the fun in music!

Personally, I considered that teaching and transmitting knowledge are some of the tools that artists use as a means of expression. For this reason I have developed a tremendous interest in teaching, but at the same time an immense curiosity that allows me to provide the best solutions to the questions that students may have. As a teacher, I have had the opportunity to work in various educational institutions internationally, both in private and public institutions. Read More

My methods are different for every student, but I always start with fundamentals. This includes scales, exercises to improve sound and intonation, reading, writing, improvisation, and most importantly listening. Depending on the path the student choses, some areas will be focused on more than others. I will often introduce more advanced concepts early if the student displays interest in them. I am not the kind of instructor who will say "play your etudes first and then we can talk about improvisation." I almost quit shortly after I started music because I had an instructor with that outlook. Read More
