Private lessons are an essential part of a thorough musical education. Melissa is experienced in training flutists ranging from very young beginners to college students and adults. Lessons are offered in demanding yet caring environment, and lesson plans and expectations are catered to students’ individual abilities and goals.

Students typically meet with Melissa on a weekly basis. Thirty-minute lessons are recommended for beginners whereas older students, typically with 3 years or more experience, are encouraged to elect a one-hour lesson. Scheduling is as flexible as possible and may be adjusted as conflicts arise.

Students are encouraged to participate in studio recitals, studio flute choir, and to seek outside performance opportunities. Please feel free to contact Melissa with questions or to set up a meeting.
