Private Flute LessonsPrivate flute lessons provide an emphasis on technical, musical and performance skills as applied to standard flute repertoire. For more serious flute students, additional classes and music education tracks are offered to prepare for competitions and evaluations such as MTAC's Certificate of Merit, orchestra auditions, and pre-college preparation.
