Flute Lessons

Whether a beginner, intermediate or advanced flautist looking for something new, I'll meet you where you're at to devise the best strategies for moving forward. Be that technical success and refinement or creative exploration.

Learn classical repertoire, improvisation techniques, or compose your own piece with the flute and record it with music technology. Prepare for concerts or exams. Or begin that new hobby you’ve been thinking about. Adult beginners are warmly encouraged. 

I have over 15 years experience teaching traditional instrumental music and music theory to individuals and groups, including directing and arranging ensemble and preparing students for exams. I love to share my classical performance experience with my students as they progress and I encourage them with a range of fun, creative and engaging practice techniques. I focus on flute technique presented in an engaging fashion. 

Logic Pro 9 and X

I have nearly twenty years experience producing and composing using Logic Pro. I've been using the program since the early versions and I've developed a thorough understanding and work flow. Learn how to construct, mix and polish tracks in Logic Audio and other applications. Demystify sound design. Learn about MIDI, sampling and recording instruments. Receive feedback on your compositions.

With flute and music production lessons I take the pulse of students' engagement. I listen to how it's working out for you and adjust my approach if needed.
