flute lessons
Interested in studying with me? Contact me for anything and everything flute: regular flute lessons, competition preparation, repertoire mastery, audition advice, orchestral excerpts, and more! I am happy to work with you on whatever project you might be pursuing.
My teaching covers a wide variety of topics, ranging from the bread-and-butter fundamentals we all need to the interpretative nuances that make us stand out. With an emphasis on technical mastery and a score-driven approach, I hope to transform your practice into an intentional process that prioritizes communication and conviction. I look forward to helping equip you with all the tools you need to make your music come alive!
admissions
Having applied to so many schools with both musical and academic disciplines, I am well-versed in the world of college and conservatory admissions. My students have scored in the top 99% percentile of standardized tests and have been accepted to dozens of schools (including Ivy Leagues!). These acceptances span a wide variety of academic fields (everything from music to neuroscience!) and comprise both public & private institutions.
There are never guaranteed results… but I can promise you that I’ll do everything in my power to help you put your best foot forward in your applications; portray an authentic, captivating impression of who you are through creative writing; cultivate a holistic mindset in choosing the schools you apply to; and prioritize your long-term goals and well-being in what might be the most transformational few years of your life!
