Flute Lessons Hamilton County, IN

Instruments: Piano, Flute

I have used many methods books for piano and flute. When I started teaching lessons, I lived in a military town. Since these students moved a lot, I would continue teaching out of the books they were currently using to keep they're progress consistent. I still have this philosophy unless a student is unhappy with their current method. When I start a beginning student, I like to use Alfred's Premier Course. Read More

Instruments: Flute

I'm a passionate and creative instructor who loves working with students of all ages and sharing my love of music. I graduated in 2012 from Indiana State University with Bachelor degree in Music Education. My primary instrument is the flute. I've played the flute for 14 years in various ensembles throughout the years. I've had great opportunities to work with children throughout my college years as well as beyond those years. I've had the opportunity to teach a week-long music camp, as well as bring a music supplement to YMCA after school and summer programs. Currently I'm teaching Elementary Music between 3 schools.

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Voice, Flute, Ukulele, Piccolo, Music, Keyboard

For beginning or new students I like to begin with the Faber and Faber lesson books, although I am flexible to use whatever methods course works best for each individual student. Once a student has some beginner playing skills and theory basics, I like to encourage them to pick songs that they enjoy playing. I focus on a combination of classical, Disney, pop, and jazz. I encourage students to practice on a regular basis, write in their music (if necessary), ask for help (communication with what is and isn't working is key to success), and to work in a step by step system to learning music.

Instruments: Piano, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, Music, Keyboard

I always ask the student to find music that they like listening to, and I work this into the material they are learning. Even if the instrument they play is not a part of that music, listening to music critically will help them develop a concept for sound and an ear for musicality. I try my hardest to keep the lessons both fun and engaging - I'm always open to questions! Read More

Instruments: Flute, Piccolo

I try to inspire students to become passionate musicians and people through my teaching and by example. It is important to play from the heart and not just notes on a page. It makes music and flute playing all the more gratifying! I also provide a lot of positive encouragement for students in their music but also for their lives in general. I believe that it is important to create a level of trust and comfortability with students so that more progress can be made on the flute. Read More
