Why Should I Take Lessons With Grace?
I will be your number one FLUTE support!
I have had many moments in life where I have felt success and joy. All of those moments have ONE THING in common.
I had a SUPPORTIVE parent, teacher, friend, or mentor.
When others believe in you, it’s hard not to believe in yourself.
I have had over 16 YEARS of experience helping students overcome their musical challenges and find THEIR MAGIC in music!
I use MUZIE.LIVE and provide detailed practice plans after every lesson.
Through the use of MUZIE, students are able to track their practice progress!
MUZIE has many tools to help keep students motivated to practice! You will find the joy in a solid practice routine!
With online assignments, lesson recordings, video support library, live practice sessions and much more, students are never short of INSPIRATION to play and improve their playing.
This is my PASSION. With over 16 years of experience, I have been dedicated to instructing music to students at every level.
My success is defined by YOUR achievements. It might be as simple as fitting the pieces of the puzzle together.
Perhaps you possess beautiful TONE and know all the fingerings, but struggle with rhythm..
OR
You excel at reading rhythm but need help with expression..
Drawing from my extensive experience, I have encountered various challenges and I am certain I can SOLVE any musical mystery!
If I encounter a hurdle, I am COMMITTED to finding a solution!
“I was very privileged to be able to work with Grace for years. She is a down to earth human who cares for each and every one of her students.
Her passion and skill in the realm of music is so impressive and it motivated me as a musician to be better. I have watched her work with a wide range of students from those that could very much perform at a conservatory to those that are at the beginning stages of their music exploration and her attention to detail, instruction, and motivation with each of her students has left me in awe. She wants the best for each of her students and will do what it takes to get you to perfect that section of a song or hit that high note! I could not recommend Grace more!!”

My Philosphy
I believe that everyone has the potential to succeed and discover the MAGIC of music.
Throughout my life, I have encountered various instances of success and happiness.
What ties all these moments together is the presence of a supportive parent, teacher, friend, or mentor.
When others BELIEVE in you, it becomes easier to BELIEVE in yourself.
I am here to be THAT person for you!
I aim to uncover your potential and boost your CONFIDENCE in your musical abilities.
My goal is to guide you towards appreciating and exploring the beauty of music through your own playing.
Whether big or small, we will CELEBRATE your achievements!
TOGETHER, we will tackle complex musical challenges.
Every lesson is tailored exclusively for YOU, enabling you to cultivate the necessary skills to discover joy and creativity in your playing.
DURING LESSONS
STUDENTS delve into the basics of..
playing the flute
music theory
music history
technique mastery
exploration of various music genres!
Did you know that studying and playing Bach can ENHANCE your skills for your favorite pop tunes?
OR
Perhaps Bach is your favorite composer!
Did you know that many pop songs SHARE chord progressions with Pachelbel’s Canon?!
If you struggle with a standard metronome, practicing with a drum set beat might be more effective for you.
Maybe scales are more fun to practice against a reggae beat!
Students also engage with theory through interactive activities, games, and whiteboards.
Whatever your CHALLENGE is, we will solve it TOGETHER! Each lesson is unique and tailored to your needs.
RECITALS
STUDENTS have the opportunity to perform live or pre-recorded in an online flute recital!
This will allow them to share their progress and achievements with family, friends, and studio mates!
PRACTICE Makes MAGIC
I expect all students to dedicate time to PRACTICE REGULARLY.
Progress is impossible without consistent effort towards our goals.
I will assist you in ORGANIZING your practice in a manageable and understandable way.
Every week, you will receive specific assignments and practice objectives to focus on.
