Flute Lessons in Queens Village, NY

Instruments: Flute Piccolo Music

Hello! I am so glad you are here! Congratulations on taking the first steps to learning the flute or improving the skills you already have--whether you study with me or with anyone else, learning an instrument takes discipline, open-mindedness, and courage (and so does teaching it for that matter!). I am a professional flutist in the NYC area with two masters degrees and 10+ years of teaching experience--in fact, teaching flute was my first job! Read More

Instruments: Voice Flute Music

I am a vocal teacher and coach who specializes in classical voice techniques and singing for musical theater for the past 4 years. I serve as an Adjunct Faculty member at The County College of Morris where I teach voice lessons in private and group settings. In my lessons, I focus on helping students understand how to prepare a character and a situation for every song they sing while paying close attention to phrasing, diction, breath support, and musicality.

Finally, student interests are very important to me. If a student has a strong desire to learn a song or study a topic, it would be wrong for me to deny them this opportunity. The only exception would be if a student wanted to learn something that was seriously out of their current level. In that case I would find a simpler version for the student, or I would scaffold other songs or exercises to build the necessary skills that are needed to reach that goal. Read More

Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet Recorder Bassoon

My teaching process looks like a mountain stream. We start at the top of the mountain, and the goal is to get to the bottom. As I teach using my tried and true techniques, we make our way down, but when I notice that my student needs extra help, or should be pushed more, we detour into another stream until we can return to our main path. Sometimes, we diverge immediately and continue down different paths until we make it to the bottom anyway! Read More

I am looking for students who have the time and energy to dedicate themselves to practicing a minimum of four times per week. My lessons are fast paced and fun, and students who practice regularly can expect to see noticeable improvement in their playing each week. In each lesson I will introduce some new techniques and will work with you on scales, fundamentals, exercises from a method book, and music (classical, jazz, or both, depending on the player's preferences).
