Flute Lessons Midwest

Instruments: Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet

My primary objective in my teaching is to use the multitude of different musical styles within my arsenal to help each of my students find what type of music they are most interested in learning, and to be the best resource I can to help them achieve his/her musical goals. My beginning students generally work out of the Standard of Excellence Book 1, and then graduate to a combination of the Rubank Intermediate/Advanced Methods combined with a mixture of various jazz methods (Jamey Aebersold, Jim Snidero, etc.) as well as a variety of pop/folk/movie theme collections depending on the interests of the individual student.

Instruments: Piano, Flute, Piccolo

I don't push the students too hard so they won't want to quit. If they want to move along in the books faster that's great! again my teaching style is Suzuki by ear for 3 to 4 year Olds and traditional for the older ones. Its important to have the parent to learn along with the child for Suzuki so they can practice at home. Each Suzuki lesson is 15 minutes twice a week so it takes dedication. Read More

Instruments: Flute

I do my best to meet a student where they are, find out their interests and what practice routine their schedules allow for, and then go from there to create a custom plan for them. Regardless of their level and goals, however, students are always reminded that scales and practice are some of the best tools for success. A strong emphasis is placed on honing listening skills, as well, as this benefits students in both their ensemble and solo playing. Read More
