Piano and Flute
Learning to play a musical instrument has many benefits, but perhaps the number one benefit is the feeling of accomplishment and confidence that comes with seeing your or your child's weekly progress. I love working with budding musicians of all ages, 5 to adult. And, it's never too late to start. Roughly half of my students are adults who either took lessons as a child, but gave it up and now want to pick it up again, or they wished they had taken lessons as a child and now finally have that opportunity.
I offer private, weekly lessons in two convenient locations: Sherwood and Maumelle. I teach flute and piano, and I am one of the only people in the state of Arkansas with a doctorate in flute performance.
​
I teach year round for the simple reason that, unlike learning other subjects, it is best when learning to play a musical instrument that you practice and build your skills on a daily basis. By stopping for several months and then starting up again it slows your progress because in the first few lessons you are having to refresh and remember what you learned before. Because I teach year round I do not charge a registration fee to hold your place.
For those outside central Arkansas, I am also available for Skype lessons.

Payments & Makeup Lessons
Lesson payments are made monthly, i.e. $120 per month for 4 - 5 thirty (30) minute lessons, due on the first lesson day of the month. In months where there are, for example, 5 Mondays, there is no additional charge for the 5th lesson.
​
Notice must be given at least 24 hours in advance for any lessons that will be missed. I will make every effort to reschedule missed lessons providing advance notice has been received. Makeup lessons will not be scheduled for no shows. I will also make every effort to reschedule lessons, but cannot guarantee, due to holidays or as a result of inclement weather.
