Welcome to My Studio Page!


INTERESTED IN LESSONS?
I am now accepting new students into my studio!  I teach all levels of flute students, beginning to intermediate piano students, and Dalcroze-based musicianship, improvisation, and ear-training lessons (visit my Dalcroze page for more information)

WHAT AGE?
All ages are welcome!  I have students as young as 4 (yes, 4!) through 94 (yes, 94!) and counting.  For young pianists and flutists you will notice items in my studio that are designed to make it easier for students to manage large instruments. For the young flute students, I use flutes that have curved head-joints, which make them shorter.  I have several available for rent, or you can find one at your local music store.  For young pianists, we use a foot stool so they can feel their feet on the 'floor' & begin from a grounded place. I specialize in all ages and levels and like to find your best way of learning and meeting you there.  You can read more about my teaching style below.

ABOUT THE STUDIO & TEACHING STYLE:
I will tailor your lessons to meet your musical goals.  Drawing from my background as a trained Suzuki Flute Teacher, Dalcroze Eurhythmics Instructor and over ten years of private teaching experience, I am always looking for new and dynamic ways to illuminate the technical and musical aspects of flute and piano playing and musicianship.  So, whether you are just starting out, striving to enter the professional world, or revisiting the flute for your personal enjoyment, I look forward to embarking on this new journey with you!  I offer a free trial lesson for all new students.  Please feel free to contact me to set up a lesson or with any questions you may have.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
  • Lots of humor!  I am both passionate and playful about learning the flute - a little humor can go a long way and keep us light and open to learning new things!
  • Dynamic lessons tailored to your needs as a flutist and musician
  • Emphasis on fundamentals, technique and musicianship 
  • Addressing the role of the whole body in flute playing 
  • Broadening of your musical ear and knowledge through music theory and harmony
  • Development of ear training skills through improvisation and movement
  • Organization, Self-motivation and Practice Techniques
  • Exploration of standard and extended flute repertoire 

LOCATION: DURING THE PANDEMIC I AM ONLY TEACHING ONLINE LESSONS
  • SKYPE/FaceTime: I am now teaching lessons via Skype or FaceTime!  If you have any questions, are interested in these types of lessons, or want to discuss if this option is good for you, just send me an email! 
  • To Skype or not to Skype - That is the question! I have found these lessons to be wonderful, creative, and full of clear, insightful communication. Are virtual lessons right for you? Click here to read some thoughts on this subject!
  • At my home studio: I will be offering flute, piano, and musicianship lessons in Louisville, Lafayette, Boulder, Denver-metro and throughout the Front Range. 
  • During weeks that I am on tour or teaching out of state: Since I am an active performer and travel to give workshops and concerts, if your lesson falls on a day that I am out of town, we will have those lessons via Skype, FaceTime, or Google Hangouts, or find an alternate time to make up that lesson when I am in town (in addition to your normal weekly lesson slot).
