Flute Lessons in West Jordan, UT

Instruments: Saxophone Flute Piccolo Music

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.
