Instruments: Flute

Playing duets and tunes form the basis of lessons. You will learn scales and chords, rhythm, tone and being in tune. I like to include a bit of playing without reading music, depending on what your inclination is. For more advanced flutists, we will play Bach, Mozart, Telemann, Quantz (a flutist!) and whatever music you like and bring to the lesson. I sometimes use play alongs so we can play with piano or orchestra. Read More

I have played with many groups in the United States (including Hawaii and Alaska), Central America, Jordan, much of Europe (France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, England, Scotland).

I came to a life in music through the music of my neighborhood, church and public education. My first experience with a Brass instrument (after displaying a woeful lack of aptitude for the clarinet,) was with the Trombone. Unfortunately my arms weren't long enough to get the slide to the lowest positions on the slide, so my teacher gave me cornet to try, a day or so later I could get a consistent sound. Read More
