"Where words leave off, music begins." — Heinrich Heine
Currently accepting new students! In-person lessons are available in Manhattan near Penn Station, in-home (pending your location - see below) and virtually via Zoom. Hybrid options (a mix of in-person & virtual) are also possible
As a professional flutist and graduate of Oberlin Conservatory of Music, I offer my students valuable insights into playful music making! Each lesson teaches the student how to improve their technique — often resulting in increased enjoyment and less struggle. My top priority is to guide students towards a deep understanding of music and instrumental technique.
I work with students of all ages, abilities, and levels - adults and professionals are also welcome! Since founding my flute studio in 2012, I have been dedicated to teaching a playful curriculum that allows students to confidently explore the flute. It is amazing to guide students towards an ever increasing sense of musical fluency.
In our initial consultation (via Zoom), let's meet briefly to discuss any goals and general objectives. We will also discuss my teaching philosophy, studio policies, tuition costs, and mutual availabilities for our first session.
Each prospective student also has the option to add a complimentary 15-minute intro mini lesson onto this initial meeting - please inquire!
Lastly, please feel free to future explore more info about my lesson studio on my website. You're welcome to reach out to me there or via Thumbtack for more information -- I look forward to speaking with you soon!
