Flute Lessons in Armada, MI

Instruments: Flute

I like to tailor my lessons and teaching methods to the skills and age of the player. I usually will put together a bundle exercises compile of flute methods and exercises I create myself to help the student progress. For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. Read More

I do tailor my music lessons for the individual student. There really is no making a general statement for a specific person. There are, however, some very fundamental aspects of learning music for all people which will definitely include practicing and mastering scales of all type, performing with others, and using the ears to truly listen to intervals and the emotions that are invoked by performing certain keys in specific styles.

I am a flutist, teacher and performer. I want to share my love for music and playing the flute, with all my students and audiences. I have a Bachelor and Master of Music degree and many years of performance and teaching. I continue to seek out coaching from respected professional flutists, because I feel that the better I play, the better I teach. I perform as a member of a flute ensemble. Read More

The absolute best way for any student to learn to play any genre is ensemble. For years I spent much of my "song" learning with others with same intent. If possible I will use any or all of these techniques. I have had a few students who stayed with me for many years (not all of these students possessed "natural" ability). Playing not talking provides students with tools to take to their own "studio". Read More

For beginner's I tend to start with lesson books, especially Hal Leonard's Essential Elements because that's what I learned from! I move up from there and like to teach lessons from all different types of genre's and also teach different techniques such as vibrato, jazz flute, etc. Scales and warm-up's are an essential part of every lesson and I always do them no matter what age student I am teaching!
