Is a university professor is an appropriate teacher for a my young child?
- Yes! Before moving to Mississippi, I had a flourishing studio of private flute students in addition to my college students. I still make time for dedicated pre-college students. I love teaching flute, and I love teaching people--from the very first note to further progress as musicians. I've taught all ages, from second grade to age 83. (And...I'm the mother of an energetic young boy!)
- Absolutely! Come visit. Sit in during Flute Ensemble. Try out your Lions Band audition piece. Get feedback. And if you're a junior or senior, you're welcome to a short lesson for free. More info here.
- For my youngest beginners, The Fife Program allows children to play successfully with fun songs before transitioning to the flute. There are also flutes with "U" curves for ease of playing.
- I try to price lessons reasonably for our hardworking Mississippi families. Additionally, some of my college students, under my supervision, teach private lessons at a lower price. Please contact me and we'll see what's best for you.
- Private students of similar abilities and ages meet together occasionally for group lessons and ensemble participation.
- I'm happy to work with adult or out-of-town students on an irregular basis, but for students up through 18, I do not offer twice-monthly lessons. Students need consistent instruction and regular practice in order to achieve success. It is far better to take a 30 minute lesson each week than to take a 60 minute lesson twice each month.
- My area of specialty is in teaching "classical flute," but I can recommend a great teacher.
- I'm also available for clinics, masterclasses, and chamber music and/or flute choir coaching.
