You may not know that my beginning to playing the flute was kind of a rough start. I really did NOT have good instruction at ALL. In fact, I didn’t have any instruction at all. I used to hide in my sister’s closet with her flute book. My parents sent her to a local flute teacher, but never even entertained the idea that I might be the one in the family that REALLY wanted to

They are usually titled something like: “Thank you!” or “I love these lessons”. They make me feel so good. I do strive hard daily to bring my off and online students a ton of value. I usually spend around 20+ hours getting a certain module of awesome flute lesson content online.

Here on my little “farm” in the mountains, I have a full grown orange cat whose name is “Kitty”. Kitty loves my students. In fact, he loves my students so much that he knows precisely what time I begin teaching each day. The reason I know this is because everyday just as my first student comes up the lane I see kitty go running down to meet them. He always greets them and expects them

I found this pretty interesting and wondered why. The doc said that he once had a trumpet player who played after having his out and apparently it pushed air bubbles up under his incisions. “It caused him all sorts of grief.” Who

Learning to play the flute means giving yourself a new voice. Although you already speak with your vocal chords, this will be a new means of expressing yourself. “You are going to love it.” I had a student for a few years who had been told he would never speak (or walk for that matter). His mother was devastated and brought him to me to find out if I thought there was a possibility of
