Flute Lessons Manatee County, FL

Instruments: Flute, Recorder, Piccolo

My teaching style allows students to make music from the beginning, helping to motivate them with attractive songs, which can be used as technique building exercises. I encourage my students to practice and set goals at each lesson. They would be able to work at their own pace. Playing duets with the teacher is also a fun activity, and listening to good players recordings will inspire them. I also encourage my students to prepare themselves for playing recitals, enter competitions and play with bands or music ensembles. Read More

I started teaching 1st graders about basic music concepts at the local elementary school when I was in 7th grade. Once I got to high school and I started to get serious about music, I began teaching private lessons to middle school and other high school students. By the time I was in college, I was capable of teaching lessons to students of any age or skill level.

I have loved music and made it a part of my life since I was a child.  I grew up performing for state and national competitions as well as on stage.  After years of performing I finally decided it was my true passion and began studying it in college.  I graduated from Pensacola Christian College with a B.A. in Music (proficiency in Voice) in 2002 and continued studying until I graduated in 2006 with an M.A. in Music (proficiency in Voice) in 2006.

My approach to teaching is one that engages students and encourages them to learn to the best of their abilities.  I always consider the needs of my students and their wishes for their own musical development.  Therefore, selecting repertoire and lesson goals is a joint venture between my students and myself.   I gain encouragement when students voice their opinion and develop a sense of musical style that is unique to them; my students are motivated and learn to express themselves musically and together, we take great satisfaction in their successes at Festivals, competitions and examinations.
