“Following a few years of flute lessons that never really excited me, I ended up switching to lessons with Dr. Lisa Gilbert. Dr. Gilbert made me enjoy practicing for the first time, and this lead to great improvement from the stand still I was experiencing. She is very flexible when it comes to personal goals and preferences while maintaining high enough standards to encourage growth and skill development. I am now studying flute at the college level and can honestly say I wouldn’t be here without Dr. Gilbert’s help.”

“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.”
