Flute Lessons in Harvey Park South, CO

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet

I always explore different methods that might fit the age and personality of the student but for keyboard lessons I have found success with the Alfred Piano Method. Instrumental lessons usually follow the method book that is selected by their school band director. Beyond that I have a large library of supplementary music to expand the students interest with new styles and composers.I'm very flexible with the method books and after I get to know the student I can select a method that would work the best for instruction.

I am an upbeat energetic teacher who loves music and loves teaching. I have played saxophone since I was 8 years old, and I am now in my late 50's.

At the start of the lesson, I will emphasize tone and air control which I've found makes a huge difference as a warm up. The primary books I will work out of are Hal Leonard's Essential Elements.

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 gain from my students' accomplishments a sense of pride, which makes me work just as hard for my students as they do for me. Read More
