Flute Lessons Camden County, NJ

My methods are based on what each student wishes to accomplish with these lessons. I have a wide variety of exercises/books/recordings that are guided to help the student reach their maximum potential. In particular, I specifically focus on sound, technique, reading, simulating performance scenarios, school auditions, recitals, and improvisation. I approach all these topics with care so that the student learns the most in a stress free environment. Read More

Individual, with an initial focus on technical proficiency and sight reading. I believe in a strong basic foundation and a LOT of performance opportunities! A few times a year, I try to arrange to have additional performances for my students as well as providing information and updates about concerts and performances around them (my own included!). We focus on sound and technique as part of the repertoire, not separate. Music for festivals, all-state/solo and ensemble, auditions, etc. is also seen and ENCOURAGED - go for everything! Read More

I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. If a student isn't having fun in their lessons, then I'm not doing my job! My students are encouraged to enter competitions and recitals, as well as work on composing their own original material, so they can feel good about their accomplishments and stay motivated to learn.
