Online Flute & Recorder Lessons
Expert Instruction for ALL Ages & Playing Levels
"Susan has been instrumental (yes, it's a pun) in keeping my daughter focused on learning the flute. With her genuine softness and sincere sternness when needed, she encourages children to try their best!"
—Tina T., middle school band parent, Parma, Ohio
In-person lessons are off-limits for now, but it's great to be able to keep doing music!
Video-conferencing platforms (like Zoom and Skype) allow students locally and around the world to keep making progress on their instruments. Some of my students are progressing even faster than usual because they have more time to practice and fewer distractions in their daily schedules.
Online lessons are not much different from in-person lessons. As a music instructor I need to be descriptive and precise with my language when making comments about a student’s posture, embouchure, fingerings and the musical score. As always, I listen, demonstrate, and design customized curriculum for every student I teach according to their age, level, learning style, and goals.
I keep a detailed log of all assignments and progress notes for each student and follow up each weekly lesson with an email recapping what we covered in their lesson and what I would like the student to focus on during their practice time that week.
Lesson materials can be easily purchased online— and/or downloaded or scanned. High-quality professional performances can be accessed digitally for ear-training and enrichment. Students report that they are enjoying their online lessons immensely. Parents and adult students appreciate the time-saving convenience of not having to drive to the studio.
Creative outlets like music are essential to being able to thrive during these challenging times. Why not give online lessons a try?
