A little bit about Julie

Welcome to my website and flute blog!  

Before checking out the blog topics,  I invite you to learn a little more about me, Julie McGough, as both a flutist and teacher.  I have written a short bio below, but please view my biography, listen to my MySpace page and learn about The Flute Studio via the links above.

As a performing musician I have had the pleasure of performing in many concert halls throughout the United States and Europe.  My favorite  venue and recital being my debut recital at Carnegie Hall in New York City when I was 24 years old.  I have worked with many amazing musicians in my career and especially enjoyed my concerts with pop star, Lisa Loeb.    I absolutely love performing and I can be seen with many professional orchestras throughout Pittsburgh and the surrounding area.

As a teacher, I have taught for over 20 years and in that time I have enjoyed teaching many talented students (at last count, well over 100).   I teach all levels of flute lessons at my Flute Studio in Bethel Park, from beginners to collegiate students to adults wishing to bring music back into their lives.  I love teaching and watching students grow as musicians and people.  It is a very rewarding job!

I have started this blog as a way to share information about the flute and performing with students, educators, parents and other flutists.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the flute, performing, performance anxiety and teaching.  I would be happy to answer you and maybe write about your question on this blog!  Contact me at any time atflutelessons@msn.com  I look forward to hearing from you!
