Flute Lessons in Sarasota, FL

Instruments: Piano Flute Recorder

My approach to teaching is one that engages students and encourages them to learn to the best of their abilities.  I always consider the needs of my students and their wishes for their own musical development.  Therefore, selecting repertoire and lesson goals is a joint venture between my students and myself.   I gain encouragement when students voice their opinion and develop a sense of musical style that is unique to them; my students are motivated and learn to express themselves musically and together, we take great satisfaction in their successes at Festivals, competitions and examinations.

Instruments: Violin Cello Flute

I grew up in a musical family. My mother is a professional violinist and teacher and all of my sisters and brother and I learned to play various instruments from a very early age. My mother and father sacrificed a lot for their children to have music lessons as they are quite expensive for the lower middle class family But they believed it was worth it as music lessons boost brain power and help with the development of fine motor skills and mathematics, even speech.
