Thank you for being the best flute teacher a flutist could ask for! You are always so encouraging and fun to talk to.

Thank you so much for being the most amazing teacher. It has been so much fun learning music with you. Thank you for helping with my college auditions and for encouraging me to keep on playing and loving it.

I’ve really enjoyed flute lessons for the past seven years. Thanks to you, flute has become such an important part of my life and I’m definitely going to continue it in college. I’ve enjoyed having the opportunity to play folk tunes, which is not something I would’ve got to explore in band. You’ve really made learning flute so fun and rewarding and I’m really going to miss you and the cats next year.

“With Lisa, my child has grown to love music. Lisa was able to connect with my shy daughter easily and patiently, and music has now become a fun and integral part of her life. I am so impressed by Lisa’s skill, as well as how flexible she has been in these uncertain times. We are so grateful for her.”

“Our daughter loves flute lessons with Lisa! My husband and I both have extensive music training. We wanted a teacher that would give our daughter rigorous, challenging instruction while also keeping her engaged and having fun. This is why Lisa is the right teacher for our daughter. Her deep knowledge of music and expert teaching skills are evident in each lesson. Lisa has kept our daughter interested, and helped her develop her technique and musicianship. She carefully picks music that our daughter enjoys, and that challenges her to keep making progress. Perhaps most importantly, Lisa is always encouraging our daughter to think about the important role music plays in our lives and our society.”

“Thank you for finding a way to make lessons happen during this time [of the pandemic]. My daughter was bouncing with happiness after today’s lesson and I so appreciate you showing up in this way and continuing to touch the lives of our kiddos. We’re very grateful.”

“My daughter enjoys her lessons with Lisa, because Lisa is very positive in her approach to teaching. She listens to and connects with my 12-year-old daughter. My daughter also enjoys playing pieces that aren’t just her normal band pieces. She has improved so much in just one year with Lisa!”

“Lisa really tailors the lessons to her students and helps them discover the joy of music, no matter what avenue she has to take to get there! I love how she uses the versatility of the electric keyboard and recording software to teach and encourage creativity. While the quarantine makes it challenging to take lessons, Lisa is continuing lessons through FaceTime to maximum benefit.”

“My daughter has been taking flute lessons with Lisa for a few years now and really enjoys going to them. Lisa has a great way of connecting with her. My daughter has come a long way since she first picked up the flute and we owe it all to Lisa.”
