“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!”
