Services

• Career Students. For the student considering a possible career in music, a disciplined and structured program is fostered to further sound development through integration of tone colours. Technical dexterity and musical creativity through expression and phrasing are a high priority. Guidance is provided toward successful university or orchestral auditions.
• Young Students. For young developing students, a clear, resonant sound is achieved through proper breathing and full breath support. The beginnings of technical facility and accuracy in rhythm and note reading are emphasized. Priority is placed on enjoyment of the flute repertoire. Sight reading is strengthened through playing duets. RCM examinations are encouraged, but not required.
• Adults. For adults persuing the flute as a hobby, the above features apply, structuring the program to a time frame of practice available to busy schedules. Emphasis is on enjoyment.
• Summer Programs
  • Chamber Groups - Trios and quartets matched with students of similar abilities.
  • Private Lessons - A few spaces are still available for new students.
