Flute Lessons West

Instruments: Flute, Piccolo, Music

I have been teaching private flute lessons for over seven years, and I cherish the unique experiences I have with each new student I work with. I graduated from the University of North Texas with my BM (bachelor of music) in flute performance, and from Stony Brook University with my MM (master of music) in flute performance. I have performed in orchestras across the United States, in Canada, and in Europe, and I have been fortunate to study with wonderful mentors throughout my career. Read More

For some, this may mean selecting a piece of music that is of particular interest to the student (perhaps even one of their own compositions), and tailoring exercises to work towards specific goals for that piece.

I have taught music since I was in Highschool. It wasn't just lessons for middle schoolers or young children. I taught and ran my high school's Jazz Band when I was a Junior and Senior. Due to a lack of funding, it was not a regular class, so it was up to me to take the reigns. Since then, I have grown and taught many more private students, but also different schools and places.
