Flute Lessons Duval County, FL

Instruments: Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet

I grew up taking private clarinet lessons in the Seminole county area, all the way through high school before I studied under Dr. Lynn Musco and Mrs. Jessica Speak at Stetson University. While pursuing my studies, I took various pedagogical classes such as Woodwind methods, and Pedagogy for Musicians, both of which I received A+'s in for my final grade. As mentioned in my bio, I have a diverse and long list of performance history as well (my recent senior recital is linked to my profile). Read More

For beginning woodwind students, I start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements or whatever the student's school band book is. Once the student knows how to read music and can play enough notes, I like to introduce scales. This provides a good foundation for moving on to duets and solo pieces, which are more enjoyable to play. Once the student has finished the first Essential Elements book, I like to move on to the Rubank books. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Flute

For beginning piano students who are children I recommend and use Alfreds Basic Piano library. Alfreds Basic Piano library offers different book for different levels. And as well if the student wants to learn some particular song we do. For me is very important to set the right music foundation of understand and music theory before moving to the next level. For my flute students I use different books with classical and popular songs. Read More

My philosophy is, the better musician you are… The more fun it is! You have to love practicing, you can’t progress if you don’t practice… So let’s make practicing enjoyable. Practicing is enjoyable if you can see progress, I really focus on achievable goals. For students in school… School music always comes first, I want to support the band director and help my students succeed in class! Read More

Instruments: Flute

Most of my students are playing the flute or piano for an extracurricular/hobby activity. Therefore, I do not want any student to view lessons as work. Above all else, lessons should be fun! I want to challenge my students but never overwhelm them. I work with students at their own pace and try to make the environment as fun and as laid-back as I can. I love playing alongside my students so they are not always playing alone because sometimes playing by yourself in front of a teacher can be stressful. Read More
