Flute Lessons in Stratmoor Hills, CO

Instruments: Flute

Briefly: The flute teaching methods and books I use vary and are based on the needs of a student. As a student advances, I also include music theory and basic ear training. A little more in-depth: As many students have begun their flute studies in their elementary school band, I look over the books and music they have been playing from in school, listen to their sound and technique, watch their posture, and make a decision on teaching books to expand and enhance their current level.

I have picked up and loved the flute for 13 years, and I wish to share this passion and creativity with students.  I have had the opportunity to study under Emily McKay and Marco Granados, as well as perform in masterclasses with Trevor Wye, William Bennett, and Lorna Mcghee.  As a recent Denver citizen, I wish to grow my roots as a teacher who fosters flute playing as a fun and outside-the-box activity.

Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo

For 26 years I have had the pleasure of teaching music to students of all ages. Since I started lessons young, I have taken lessons for as many years I have taught. My firsthand knowledge leads me to focus on the importance of a good teacher/student relationship, because it is directly linked to student motivation. During my training, I studied with professors at top music institutions, and am fortunate to have acquired a wealth of experience from professionals at the peak of their careers. Read More

I put a large emphasis both on sight-reading and learning to play by ear; I believe these are the most important two skills any musician can have, whether he be an amateur, professional, or somewhere in between (yes, there's an in-between!). I like to focus on whatever a student has coming up for an audition or a solo & ensemble festival. If I can help players have a great experience soloing in public or help them win an audition to play with a great band (and I have a very good track record with my students winning auditions), they'll be more motivated.

Watching a student develop a passion for music is a very rewarding feeling.  Thats why I feel it is important that each student progresses at his or her own pace.  Everyone learns at different paces and in different ways. I set achievable goals for each lessons, and use enthusiasm and positivity as my catalysts.  By finding out what inspires the student, I can adjust my lessons accordingly to their wants and needs.

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 encourage them by setting specified goals and show them how to attain them while guiding them through any necessary musical concepts they may meet along the way. 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
