Flute Lessons in Parrish, FL

Instruments: Piano Flute Recorder

I am familiar with most method books on the market today and select books based on my students age and level of development when introducing them to piano or flute music. In addition to recitals my students that participate in local Festivals progress through the required levels smoothly as repertoire becomes more challenging.  Likewise, my students that participate in the Certificate Program follow the syllabi set by the Royal Conservatory of Music.

There are so many cliches regarding teaching style. In my opinion, the bottom line is a teacher who communicates concepts simply, is very caring, and has the performing and teaching experience to base that on will inspire a lot more success and fulfillment than one who does not. I invite you to take a no risk trial lesson, meet me, interview me, let me know what you are looking to accomplish, and I humbly but confidently assure you that I will give the basis, and the expertise to help you get wherever it is you want to go musically.

My approach to teaching varies with the age level of each student. With younger students, imitation is often one of the best methods of learning and I prefer the Suzuki method for students up to age 8, especially with strings. For older children and adults, learning music notation and basic music theory for a full understanding of musical language are more important to get them to the level where they can learn any music that they want to play for fun.

I am not a teacher who uses specific method books. I use books based on the student's musical preferences or sometimes none at all. A good technique is always emphasized. My area of expertise is Sight Reading. This is an essential aspect of learning to play any instrument. A good sight reader is always able to learn their pieces faster and be better performers. A typical 'first lessons' for beginners is the exploration of the instrument, its tonal qualities, how the instrument works, and the creation of their own music on the instrument. Read More

I began teaching private music lessons during my college days. I was taking music education classes along with my performance degrees and the combination of the classes made me feel like i could teach lessons in a new and innovative way. A big focus in my curriculum is music theory. Music theory is such an important backbone to learning your instrument. I feel very confident that students will feel a complete understanding of the pieces they work on, because of the emphasis we put on theory. Read More

At the very beginning level I would start with fundamentals from whatever book I feel would be best for the student depending on their age and knowledge. Beforehand I definitely will need to asses their knowledge so I can do so accordingly. I however will now focus on solely fundamentals and will try to include in songs that the student would like to learn as long as it is in the bounds of reality, the lessons I provide are only part of the equation and the real work is what is put in after the lesson.
