“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!”

“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.”
