Flute Lessons Boone County, KY

Instruments: Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet

I am a big fan of the Rubank elementary, intermediate, and advance methods. In addition I like incorporate sight reading into lessons due to being a common element in auditions. For high school students the I use Rubank books and supplement that with Rose etudes as they are often use as audition material in KY. One of the first things I do in lessons is to listen to professional clarinet recordings. Read More

My teaching experience actually began in a limited capacity prior to starting college. I was fortunate to receive private flute instruction throughout high school, and as a result, I held roles as a section leader as a high school upperclassman.  Upon my college graduation, I entered the workforce, all the while picking up flute students, primarily at a beginner level.  I greatly enjoyed building a firm foundation with each student given their ability, so we had a solid starting point to build upon.

Very importantly, I encourage students to experiment with their flute in practice and in making music. Read More
