Flute Lessons Frio County, TX

Instruments: Flute, Piccolo

I was interested in teaching from a young age; I loved to play school with my friends. I started tutoring in high school, as well as teaching private flute lessons. I have taught private lessons since 2017 and have loved every moment of it, both with beginners and with more advanced high school students. I began working as a marching band technician in 2021 and have since worked for numerous schools. Spending time with these students of all ages and interests brings me great joy, and I know that further pursuance of music will bring the same fulfillment to students for years to come. Read More

For every student. We can work on any material. From Classical to Jazz to Pop to Video game music. I am open to anything they are working on or wanting to work on. The material can be any type of difficult and any style. My job is to teach the fundamentals of flute sound production and make sure the student isnt working so hard to make a beautiful sound. Once the student has a beautiful sound we then work on other fundamentals such as articulation, double tonguing, triple tonguing and more advanced techniques. Read More

I use the Mark Thomas flute books for beginner through the 2nd year. In the first year, I typically teach basic fundamentals of scales and playing the full range of the instrument along with basic flute literature. Once these are complete I transition into the Anderson studies and more advanced literature. The more advanced flutest would work in the Trevor Wye book series and medium advanced to advanced flute literature. Read More

For beginners I generally use Rubank method. I feel this text is complete and covers all of the material that beginning woodwind players need. The intermediate method has even more material as well as repertoire to start the important process of learning longer pieces of music. I stress the fundamentals as this is the basis of all good playing. For my jazz students I use texts by Keller, Weiskopf, Fishman and transcriptions. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Flute

For beginning flute and piano students I start with method books suplimented by some ear training and theory games taught in lessons. I use different method books depending on the student because each method book does not fit every student. That decision is typically made after the trial lesson. For voice I begin with vocal warm up to train the voice and breath and to give me a good idea of appropriate repertoire for later on. Read More
