Flute Lessons Iowa

Instruments: Piano, Flute

My goal is to have my students develop a passion for music and a love for their instrument. I am very patient, and very encouraging. I love giving positive feedback, and constructive criticism to make sure my students are doing their best, and having fun. For the younger students, I love giving out stickers as they master skills, like scales and rhythm exercises. I want my students to WANT to practice and keep bettering themselves on their instrument.

Instruments: Piano, Saxophone, Flute, Music

What I like to do is find out what my students know about music and then work from there. For instrumental I start with basics and play through scales to see how they play and how they can improve. For students that are younger or completely new to music, we would start with very basic general music terms and would become very close to the instrument of choice knowing the parts, how sound works with the instrument and how to properly play the instrument (close to the Suzuki method). my instructions are easy to follow no matter the age or ability level.

Instruments: Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet

Private saxophone lessons for all ages and levels all learners are welcome from all places and walks of life. Every student is valued and encouraged to find music in whatever way they feel fit. These lessons are for all types of students including those just playing for fun, students pursuing higher education, beginners, or if you want a little extra help with chair placements and auditions. More specifically I cater the lessons to the needs of each individual student. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Trumpet, Trombone, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, Ukulele, Recorder, French Horn, Tuba, Music, Keyboard

My teaching style is positive, encouraging, demonstrative, and (I may have mentioned it before) FUN! Every teacher is looking for the "light bulb" moment. The moment the content really clicks with a student. It always turns on at different moments with each student. I love encouraging my students to never give up. I know what it is like to have a teacher who doesn't care about their student. That will never be the case for me! Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Flute

Depending on the instrument and age, students will start with books that make learning fun and easy to understand. For older learners and adults, I would work from their interests and go from there. For piano, I prefer Faber. In addition to materials that build skill, students would have the opportunity to play solo pieces and chose popular songs to add to their lessons. When I work with students learning flute I may help them work through the books their school recommends and then suggest appropriate additions as they add skill. Read More
