Flute Lessons in Colebrook, CT

Instruments: Flute Piccolo

My experience with teaching began when I was in high school. I taught two beginner flute students until I went to college in 2012. Since then, I have had students intermittently throughout my studies, and I am looking forward to building a permanent studio in the Hudson Valley. At SUNY Fredonia and SUNY Purchase, I was fortunate enough to take courses which focused on flute pedagogy, and I was able to practice the what I learned with my fellow flutists. Read More

I am currently a music student at Sarah Lawrence College, where I study flute, percussion, chamber ensemble, blues ensemble, jazz ensemble, and pit music. I have been playing for 10 years as a flautist and a percussionist, and I have never stopped loving it. I think it's one of the most joyous and important jobs to teach music to the world, as a way for people to connect with themselves and with others. Read More

My methods are pretty straight forward. I focus heavily on technique. A good foundation can help a student be their best in each genre. I personalize my lesson plans and drills to accommodate the student's strengths, weaknesses, and over all goal. I will push you to your limits so you can go even further than you thought you could. I also teach you how to be a healthy musician and steer students away from bad techniques that can cause damage or harm them in any way. Read More

I am a passionate flutist that loves teaching flute privately in addition to performing. In May of 2022, I graduated Summa Cum Laude from The Hartt School of Music with a BM in Flute Performance.

During my degree, I have performed flute, piccolo, and alto flute with both The Hartt Symphony Orchestra and The Hartt Wind Ensemble. Read More

When I teach, I like to make sure my students feel welcome and encouraged. I will always praise them when they make improvements, no matter how small, but I will still make sure they know what it is they have to work on without reprimanding them. I try to keep my students inspired by asking them what they want to work on. For example, with a high school student, we worked on a duet that she composed for two flutes. Read More

I believe that music is a gift to humanity. A person may be more or less "talented," but that isn't important to their enjoyment of music. I have a passion for music, having devoted my working life to it, and I can't help but convey and share that. I help students play as well as they can but even more important, listen to and enjoy what they are playing and hearing. Read More

I have been teaching students since my sophomore year of high school, 3 years ago. I taught both beginner piano lessons and flute lessons of all levels. I encourage my students to keep a practice journal with their practice schedule, daily practice logs, long term and short term goals, lessons from notes, and anything else that can be useful for improvement. This allows students to continue progressing rather than finding themselves unmotivated to practice. Read More
