“My daughter LOVES her flute because of you. She wanted to quit band in middle school and I wouldn’t let her. I told her she didn’t have to take band next year, but to my surprise she signed up. She doesn’t want to stop playing! I believe if she wasn’t taking lessons she would be done with band and her flute. You helped her recognize the joy in playing music. Thank you so much!”
The parent of a high school student
“Dr. Gilbert keeps my daughter motivated to practice by using strategies that allow room for student choice. She understands the demands of families who are balancing school and extracurricular activities with a flexible approach to student habits. I highly recommend Dr. Gilbert for parents looking for a personal approach to encouraging their budding musician’s talents.”
