Currently teaching via Zoom
.  Lessons through Zoom require a computer with internet access, a webcam and a microphone.  Many computers have these devices built in.  Plugging into an ethernet cable provides the strongest connection.  Second choice is being located close to the router.  Live duets are not possible due to the time lag, but I offer videos and mp3 recordings for duet practice. 
More information about Zoom at www.zoom.us. 

**Every student should have a metronome.** 
The teaching studio is flexible and adult students are encouraged.  Lessons can be weekly, short term, or as needed.  My goal is to help students become as independent as possible.  We will discuss practice techniques and available resources.  Duets are an important part of my process.  They teach steadiness and listening in a way solo practice never will.  There is a playlist of duet videos below for that purpose.

Flute lessons can start with any method book(s) you own and build from there.  Each program of study will be tailored to the student's needs and goals.  This can mean band music, audition preparation, or simply music for fun.  Music fits into everyone's life differently and all are valid perspectives.  My job is to meet you at your skill level and help guide you in the direction you want to go - whether that is the stage or the comfort of your own home.
