Introduction

Teaching has been my passion my entire life. I love helping students to unlock their potential and do things they never imagined possible. I have been teaching flute for over 15 years. Originally from NYC, I grew up immersed in music, going to a specialized music high school, attending the Juilliard School, and traveling around Europe playing flute. As a Texas Certified Teacher and Kodaly- trained teacher, my specialties include teaching younger beginners and middle school students. I love working with all ages and levels. I will help you/your student learn a practice routine that will help you develop your tone, technique and musicianship. You will learn to use your skills in the world, and not just during our lessons. We will learn and grow together in a safe and comfortable atmosphere.

I started flute lessons with Jessica almost 2 months ago and she has definitely exceeded my expectations. She works with you every step of the way and is thorough in how she teaches. I have already advanced significantly with my tone quality and technique. I recommend her to anyone who is looking for a quality flute teacher.

Jessica is an amazing instructor! At first I was apprehensive in having a virtual instructor for my 8 year old. I wasn't sure if my child would receive the proper instruction without that in person touch. I'm happy to say that Jessica knows what she is doing! I'm extremely happy with this virtual lesson. My daughter loves her Flute lessons and looks forward to it each week! When it comes to Jessica and her teaching style, she finds a way to make the lesson fun and enjoyable! I would recommend Jessica 10 out of 10 times to anyone!

Jessica did a wonderful job helping me prepare to perform for my grandmother’s memorial service, after I had not practiced for over 5 years. She sent me warm-up material and sheet music before my lesson. She was quick to answer any questions I had before and after our lesson. She provided great feedback during the lesson and helped me gain confidence in my ability to play the flute. I would highly recommend taking lessons with Jessica.

Jessica is very professional and encouraging, I started with some other self taught woodwind instrument experience, and she can tell me how to make songs more musical and correct some of my bad habits. 5 star recommend.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My rate is $70/hour, but I am willing to work on a sliding scale for highly motivated students who may not be able to afford the full price.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We will have a phone conversation to discuss the goals of the student and create a plan to make them happen. I will ask about the musical background of a student, recommend some work to start with and talk about my expectations for lessons.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Masters degree in flute performance. I studied at conservatories of music, including the Juilliard School in New York City. Teachers I have studied with include Bernard Goldberg of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Susan Palma-Nidel of Orpheus of NYC, masterclasses with William Bennett, Robert Dick and faculty of the Conservatorio di Musica “G. Verdi” in Milan, Italy.
