Teaching Philosophy
My philosophy is based on a fundamentally optimistic view. I believe that all of my students, with the help of the right techniques, will be able to learn the flute as a means of personal expression and as a gift to larger society. My philosophy is to inspire my students so that they enjoy learning the flute. It is important that my students feel comfortable to be creative and experimental in my lessons. It is also essential that they work towards playing music which is meaningful to them while at the same time working on a more structured program in which they develop excellent technique.

Our Promise to You
Getting Started Together
We don't offer free trials, but we do something better - a relaxed 2-lesson getting-to-know-you period. You can pause anytime with just 24 hours notice. After your third lesson, we ask for a friendly 2-lesson heads up if you need to stop.
Life Happens - We Get It
Give us 24 hours notice for any cancellation or reschedule and you'll receive full credit. Planning a family vacation or summer break? Perfect - just let us know a day ahead and we'll pause your lessons.
When You're Under the Weather
If illness strikes with short notice (less than 24 hours), you'll still be charged since your teacher has reserved that time. However, most teachers are happy to offer makeup lessons when possible - they have the final say, especially if last-minute cancellations become a pattern.
Stopping Lessons
Need to take a break? We just ask for a 2-lesson notice:
Weekly lessons = 2 weeks notice
Every other week = 3 weeks notice
Twice weekly = 1 week notice
Summer breaks are different - no notice period needed when you return in the fall!
