Flute Lessons in Tucker, GA

Instruments: Flute Piccolo

For beginning and intermediate students, I typically start with the basic understanding of the musical staff, note names, and how to associate those names with the flute fingerings. I use a wide variety of method books for students of all ages to gauge what students do and do not know theoretically. Tone production and quality comes from working through breath control and regular exercises from the practices of Geoffrey Gilbert, William Bennet, Marcel Moise, Paul Taffenell, and Eldred Spell.

I began teaching in my sophomore year of college at the age of 19. I started by giving thirty minute to one hour lessons to local students. I soon began leading masterclasses for the flute students of the local middle and high schools. Most recently, I taught a masterclass to a large group (30-40) of high school flute students.

My methodological procedures are determined solely on the level of the student and their performance ability. Oftentimes I tailor lessons that ive created in my past to create lesson plans for individual students.

For larger groups or smaller ensembles I create lessons around whatever the end goal is and/or the performance requirements. Read More

My style is based mostly in questions I ask of the student, asking them what they're thinking, feeling, and experiencing as they play certain passages or exercises.

For beginning students both children and adults, I typically start with Bruce Pearson's Standard of Excellence books. Once my younger students have progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I begin to introduce solo repertoire that is appropriate for their first recital performance. Once the adults have progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I try to find out what the student is interested in and guide my instruction towards that interest, all while keeping the lessons engaging and fun.
