Music Lessons in Flushing, NY

Instruments: Flute Piccolo

My teaching experience dates back to just before I started college, as I began teaching lessons part time in 1991. I believe that students begin playing an instrument because they think it is fun.

This can be done by learning all types of music; classical, pop/rock, showtunes, country, etc. Read More
