“Lisa Gilbert is a gifted educator, with the energy and attention to guide individuals as well as groups.  I had the opportunity to work with several of her students at a local middle school’s beginning band camp.  After only four days of working with Lisa, they had a very excellent grasp of the fundamentals of playing the flute, they had a sense of musicianship and musicality, and they had already developed the ‘spark’ and attitude that are a result of an inspiring teacher.”

“Lisa Gilbert is one of the best communicators with teens I’ve seen in a long time.  She meets them empathetically right where they are, and helps them get to a good grounded understanding of whatever the task is at hand, be it flute technique, ensemble playing, or connecting with each other and the community.”
