Flute teacher with Masters in Flute Performance & 15 years' experience | private flute lessons custom tailored to uplift and empower each student!

My daughter studied with Jennifer for over five years, progressing from a total beginner to an advanced player. Jennifer is an exceptionally dedicated teacher—patient, encouraging, and always providing positive, constructive feedback. She is detail-oriented and consistently goes the extra mile to support her students, even outside of lesson time. When we sent her recordings that my daughter prepared for auditions, Jennifer would respond with detailed comments and suggestions for improvement. She kept thorough notes on each student’s progress and maintained a complete record of the repertoire learned over the years. We couldn’t have asked for a better teacher!

Jennifer was a flute instructor for my child, and took them from a total beginner to participating in a master class at the Carmel Bach Festival in a very short span of time. As a teacher, she was patient, encouraging, and very good at tailoring her approach to the individual needs of each child I saw her working with in her flute studio. She is very good at phrasing concepts in such a way that they click, and my child progressed rapidly and happily under her instruction. I would add that if your child is trans or non-binary, Jennifer will be super respectful and mindful about pronouns without making a big deal out of it, and was a safe place for my kid to focus on music and gaining confidence during the time she taught here. I was thinking about taking the flute up myself because she made it look like so much fun! She also taught a great camp in the summer that included opportunities to play alto and bass flute, and clearly knew her stuff about creating lesson plans for students to go as far as they wanted to in music, while not putting too much pressure on them. Jennifer has my gratitude.

If you’re looking for the best flute teacher, congratulations — you’ve found her! Jennifer is everything you could hope for in a teacher: professional, patient, knowledgeable, and wonderfully funny.

My 10-year-old son started with Jennifer as a complete beginner, and just a year later, he was accepted into a youth orchestra! In my son’s words, Ms. Jennifer’s lesson is “kind of addictive”! We miss Jennifer so much — her smile, her encouragement, and the trust she placed in her students. You’re truly lucky to have her in your area — don’t miss the opportunity to learn from her!

I was a Flute student of Jennifer‘s for two years. She always made me feel comfortable and I learned something from her expert teaching each session. She is a remarkable teacher as well as a patient and wonderful person.

Jennifer quickly assessed my abilities and was able to get to work on teaching me. I learned a great amount in our first lesson alone. She is very knowledgeable, answering any question I had and offering more insight as well. With good direction from Jennifer along with practice I was able to see a difference in my playing very quickly. In addition to her skill, knowledge & teaching ability, her teaching style is very focused. She shows understanding and can explain things in multiple ways until you comprehend it or reach the intended goal. As someone who has played the flute for many years, I would recommend Jennifer to anyone looking to learn to play -young or adult- or improve their playing if already experienced.

Jennifer was an amazing teacher. She introduced me to concepts that had been overlooked by previous teachers and directors and helped me discover that there is more to music than playing the right notes.
