Flute Lessons Utah

Instruments: Flute

I have taught private flute intermittently for the past 25 years, usually traveling to students' homes. I teach classical music as a foundation, while incorporating other types of music to keep it fun and interesting for the student. Many of my students have performed in recitals which I have organized, as well as in other performances that demand hard work and personal accomplishment. I have students from many different backgrounds and ages, and watching students grow from their musical endeavors and fall in love with music is one of the greatest achievements any teacher can have.

Instruments: Flute, Piccolo

Lessons follow a predictable flow. We always begin with tone warm-ups. I enjoy incorporating fun activities to teach tone, such as blowing across different sized objects to learn what it feels like when the air stream splits. We sing while playing to learn throat and jaw posture, have competitions to see who can hold a note longest to develop air support, etc. After tone, we work on technique, usually scales or etudes.

I find great joy in passing on my love for the flute and watching my students flourish. My teaching method is to hone their skills by learning scales, methods, classical repertoire, and more, with a focus on consistent practice and performance opportunities. I am also more than happy to help you learn to play your favorite music and songs that you would like to learn, of any genre! I encourage you to bring your own music, and it would be my pleasure to teach to your interests. Read More

It is so exciting to see a student love what they are playing! To me, it matters that everything we do is engaging, from technique to the songs you pick! I work with the student to create realistic goals, both short and long term. Positive feedback is important to me, and it is important that the student finds joy in seeing improvements, however small. I think of each lesson as a custom experience. Read More

I want my students to feel comfortable during lessons. After all, playing in front of someone can be scary! I strive to be warm and inviting while also providing direction and education. I put heave emphasis on the basics like scales (major and minor), circle of fifths, thirds and fifths, and sight reading. Having a solid understanding of fundamentals and their instrument will really set up the student for success in the future. Read More
