Flute Lessons Clay County, FL

Instruments: Flute, Oboe, English Horn

My initial lesson with the student is to learn what they do and do not know and to establish proper playing and hand techniques. I interact with the students to learn what they enjoy playing and what they want to accomplish as well. It is very important to me to make music fun and interesting for them to learn. I spend the majority of the lesson going over what they were assigned the previous week and then the last part of the lesson is going over what I am assigning for the next lesson and playing some of the music so they can hear what it is supposed to sound like.

Instruments: Piano, Flute, Recorder, Piccolo

I base my curriculum on an individual students needs, skills, and personal preferences in style/genre. I have experience teaching both the Classic and Suzuki methods. I approach teaching by focusing on fundamental theory and techniques. For more experienced students enrolled in school musical programs, lessons will support their class curriculum and help work on the skills they need to succeed in their class and their performances.

Instruments: Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet

My style is to understand the needs of the student first and only then decide how to approach our lessons. Everybody needs to go at a different pace and not all students need the same things. I like to see my students become proficient sax players but I feel that the job is only complete when they become good musicians. The saxophone is an instrument with limitless possibilities and it is a joy to play when we see the results that we are looking for. Read More

Instruments: Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet

It is an indescribable feeling to see a student grow and learn more about the instrument and the music around them. I believe that the more information that someone knows about all aspects of the music the better they will be. It is important to remember the things that inspired you to learn music in the first place. That is why I think it is so important to take into account the interest of the students. Read More
