Flute Lessons Iowa

Instruments: Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet

Every student is valued and encouraged to find music in whatever way they feel fit. These lessons are for all types of students including those just playing for fun, students pursuing higher education, beginners, or if you want a little extra help with chair placements and auditions. I set goals with each of my students and develop a curriculum that fits those needs. Often times this results in a large list of possible things to practice. Read More

The most important parts of learning any instrument is reading music and posture/hand positions. On piano I typically use Faber's Piano Adventure series. I've found that this series teaches the fundamentals in a fun and easy way. On brass and woodwind instruments I would start a beginner with the Standard of Excellence series and supplement with the Rubank method books. With ukulele I like to start with Hal Leonard method books and then shift to Johnson's Ukulele Aerobics. Read More

I believe that anyone can learn music! I understand that students learn at different paces and I accommodate for everyone. When I see a student have their "ah-ha!" moment it makes me feel that the student is really enjoying and understanding music and that is the most rewarding thing for me with teaching. Even though I accommodate, I still like to push students just a little past their comfort zone, because I believe a little challenge helps the student to move in the right direction and to also show them that they do have the skills to improve!

I have been teaching woodwind music lessons since I was a music education student at Simpson College starting in 2010. I graduated in 2015 with a bachelor's in music education and I am currently a full time band teacher. This is my 6th year teaching band and I am currently the 5-12 band director for North Linn Community Schools. I regularly instruct large group rehearsals and lessons for my job. I love starting beginner musicians and seeing the progress they make in such a short amount of time. Read More
