Flute Lessons in Park City, UT

Instruments: Flute Piccolo

In lessons, I concentrate on fundamentals (breathing, tone, technique, tonguing, etc), as these are often shorted in the school classroom and will further enable the student long-term.

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.

Having a solid understanding of fundamentals and their instrument will really set up the student for success in the future. Read More
