FAQ

FAQ about Flute Lessons:

How much are flute lessons?

Current rates are $20/30 minutes, $30/45 minutes and $40/hour.  I think private lessons are a very important part of learning an instrument and enjoying it.   I try to keep rates affordable so that it is accessible to many people.  I know kids are involved in a lot activities and the cost can add up.  I hope that by keeping my rates reasonable more students will be able to benefit from my expertise and all The Flute Studio has to offer!

Where is The Flute Studio located?

The Flute Studio is convieniently located in Bethel Park – less than 5 minutes from South Hills Village Mall, Upper St Clair and Peters Township.

What do I need for my first lesson?

Your flute!  If you have music from school or previous teachers that you would like to bring to start, please do.  I have my own set of warm ups and activities to get us started, but I also love to hear something that you have prepared and are comfortable playing to demonstrate your skills.  We usually choose music in the first 2 weeks of lessons.  When we choose music I recommend music that will both challenge you and keep you interested – if you don’t like it we generally don’t play it (although scales are a neccessary part of life!!)  I want lessons and your flute to be fun! 

When can I get started?

Send me an email and we’ll try to schedule a time (flutelessons@msn.com).  Currently I teach on Monday (afterschool/evening) and Saturday mornings (updated February 2012)
