Flute Lessons in Layton, UT

Instruments: Flute Piccolo

For beginner students, I typically start with Rubank Elemetary Method for Flute. However, if you have a different method book, I am happy to teach using that book, if I find it to be a credible source. For intermediate to advanced students, I prefer to use the Rubank Advanced Method Books 1 and 2, but again, if you have your own books, if I approve, we can use those books instead. I will be flexible with you and teach to your skills and experience with method books and repertoire that will help you improve your technique. Read More

I use a lot of encouragement and positive feedback to help students stay motivated while at the same time introducing challenging material so that students feel inspired to excel. Read More
