YOUflute
Are you an established or emerging performer looking to sharpen your flute skills for competitions and auditions? An adult amateur who wants to grow for the love of it? A band director looking for professional development that you can bring to your flute students?
Over my 20+ years of teaching, I have helped musicians reach all of these goals and more. Former flute students of mine have won awards in regional and national competitions. Some have become professional orchestral musicians, while others bring their flute skills to their lives as teachers, scientists, inventors, and researchers. Wherever you want to take the flute, YOUFLUTE coachings, lessons, and classes can help you get there. YOUpracticeNo matter what discipline you pursue, from the arts to the sciences, humanities to business, the ability to reliably learn new skills is essential. Enter YOUPRACTICE, an instruction manual for your brain!
With YOUPRACTICE coachings, based on my 15 years (and counting) of research, you will discover how learning works on both psychological and biological levels, giving you the ability to level up not only your musical skills but any skills you want. Don't play the flute? It doesn't matter! Coachings are for anyone, on any instrument. The skills sharpened are transferable to many areas of life and career, and former students have raved about the transformative effect coachings have had on their ability to learn faster and better. |
