FLUTE LESSONS FAQ

​

Should I rent or buy a flute?

Renting is a good option for new beginners. Check out your local music stores for monthly rental plans. If you already own a flute, please make sure it's in great working order. 

​

What age is good to start flute lessons?

I take students as young as 7 with parents assisting as "Home Teachers". Students ages 10 and older are welcome to take private lessons. Motivated Teens and adults are always welcome at any level. 

​

How long and how often are private flute lessons?

Beginning lessons are 30 minutes weekly. Intermediate and Advanced students have success with 45 minute - one hour lessons weekly. 

​

Why should I take lessons with you?

I am a professional flutist in Santa Fe with over forty years of experience as a Flutist and Flute teacher. I evaluate each student in a Private Lesson as to their individual needs to become the best flute player possible. 

​

My student is in their school band. Why are private flute lessons valuable?

Private flute Lessons provide individualized lessons to optimize a student's success as a flute player. Private lessons focus on the student's techniques and musicianship. Private flute lessons give the student a distinct advantage for success in auditions, honor and community bands and orchestras.
