“I was in school band from fifth through eighth grade, and never had lessons. In high school, I joined orchestra right away. Then, sophomore year, Lisa and I started working together. I learned so much about how to play the flute and techniques that broadened my scope of what flute music could be. I was able to learn so much about the history of flute playing, and was able to experience it in a whole new way. I have improved immensely!”

“Lisa Gilbert is a wonderful musician with a great sensitivity to different styles of playing.  I love playing with her when I’m playing for dancers – there’s a special skill in playing so that people feel like moving well, and Lisa has it.  She’s also patient and enthusiastic when helping other people learn to play.”
