Post-secondary students, recent grads, high school students who are committed, folks who took a break and wish to play again, people who love playing and want to grow, renew, and/or refresh their skill.

In short, yes. We can dust off your old skill. And don’t worry about what you think you “should” be able to do - we meet you where you are right now.

Long version: Learning a new skill (or dusting off an old one) requires some level of commitment. You get out of it what you put into it. From my experience working with people, I’ve seen that those who succeed most in lessons and their craft are those who give music some priority (doesn’t need to be top of the list, and we can discuss what kind of routine works best with your schedule and life), and approach it with an open mind and willingness to learn and try new things.

Everyone progresses at their own pace, and I strive to create a shame-free environment for learning. I meet you where you are in your skill right now, and we work together from there.

Some people like to use their lessons as practice guidance, because they may not have a lot of time to practice, but still would like to play for an hour and have some guidance and feedback. This is completely fine as long as they are okay with how much progression to expect.

Whether your goal is to get better at sight reading, learn some of your favourite music, or learning/having accountability to play for enjoyment, having that extra support with music lessons can help in reaching that goal.

No - some choose to do this and some don’t. This is about your goals as a musician and what you would like to get out of your lessons. Whether that’s preparing for something or building on your technique and tone, revamping your practice strategies or just falling back in love with your instrument, this is a welcoming space for you. Everything is tailored to you, and meeting you in the moment where you are in your skill.

Just let me know and we can make that happen!

Yes - just give me 24 hours notice.

Yes - just ask!

You’ll need a few things:

• a flute in good working condition, regular maintenance must be done (I can offer guidance on rentals, purchases, repair centres - just ask!)

• cleaning rod and cloths for inside and outside of the instrument (please ask for guidance if needed)

• pencil

• music stand for practicing at home - preferably something sturdy (I don’t recommend wire stands - but if you have one, use it!)

• metronome

• tuner

• Quiet, distraction-free practice environment

• a positive and open to learn attitude!

Equipment for online lessons and drop-ins:

• A computer/laptop (preferably) or tablet with a built in microphone and speakers. If you have an external microphone, feel free to use it.

• Access to a free Zoom account.

• A stable internet connection

• Headphones are recommended, but not required. In some instances I may request headphones be used, so if you have some, have them nearby.
