Private Flute Lessons & Music Performance
Nurture a love of music
My flute students not only achieve their goals – from thriving in a school band program, to preparing for auditions and competitions, to playing for the love of it – but they also cultivate confidence, creativity and enthusiasm along the way.

In lessons, my students discover:
- More confidence, enthusiasm and FUN as they see their skills improve
- Encouragement from a dedicated coach who challenges them to fulfill their potential
- Greater artistry and self-expression through music
- They have someone on their team who wants to explore music that excites them
- A new spark of creativity and deepening love of music

STUDIO PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES
As an added benefit to my students, I provide performance opportunities including recitals, house concerts, studio workshops, and outreach performances at retirement communities.
