Flute Lessons Alabama

Instruments: Flute, Ukulele, Piccolo, Music

I prefer to focus on the joy of making music and the satisfaction of learning through accomplishment! In order to achieve this, I will try my best to keep lessons upbeat (pun intended), fast paced, and fun! Especially for younger students, I will use games and interactive activities to keep the student engaged, although I do believe games are good for the soul at all ages. I will give detailed feedback to students and teach the student at whatever pacing works best for them. Read More

Instruments: Voice, Cello, Trumpet, Flute, Clarinet, Euphonium, Tuba, Music

For beginning students who have never touched music in their lives (mostly children), I start out with the Hal Leonard's Essential Elements book of their chosen instrument. From there, we learn how to read music, play in time, and play the instrument itself. Once the student feels comfortable with the practices in the book, I move on to introduce solo repertoire to prepare for a recital. Of course, if they are in their school band, we will focus on perfecting their given band music. Read More

Instruments: Saxophone, Flute, Piccolo

These notes will be used in that lesson for a song we will be learning and also for his/her homework assignment for that week. I will also teach them to count for that song, so they are playing it correctly. For adults that are just starting is the same way, but if they are coming back playing again then I would help them on the level they are at, and we would pick up from there. Read More

My teaching style includes positive reinforcement, making and achieving small measurable goals that lead to big measurable goals, and teaching and instilling correct daily practice methods. I encourage each student to do their best each day and push through the difficult places. When something is too difficult for a student, I break it down into smaller, more understandable pieces, or change tactics to a different subject or piece. I use many resources and try to differentiate activities to keep students engaged and learning. Read More
