Hello there! Welcome to my blog exclusively devoted to teaching and learning how to play the flute. I like to think that this page will be helpful to teachers and students alike. Hopefully, some flutists will find my methods useful when it comes to teaching their own students, and my students will benefit from having some additional material to guide them on the 6 days of the week they don't have lessons!

End of the year update and SUMMER LESSONS!!!

Tuesday, April 21, 2020 by Tori Yaussy | summer lessons

The end of the '19-20 school year is a memorable one, to say the least! I am sorry for all the disruption to my students' learning and everyday lives, especially those graduating and moving on to bigger and better things! 

Now that we are not going back to regular school, here are two updates to round out the year:

  1. Last day of online lessons for the school year will be Thursday May 14
  2. Summer lessons will begin Tuesday May 26 after Memorial Day weekend! 

Now that everyone is (pretty much) done with placement auditions for next year, we get to do fun flute things! Summer flute lessons are a great opportunity to keep improving your flute playing and also have some fun! With no auditions, solos, or assignments we can explore new areas and I don't know, actually play music for fun??? For high schoolers: the TMEA etudes are posted in July, so we have time to do other things before we crack down on those bad boys. Online lessons make it super easy to schedule throughout the summer, so let me know if you want to sign up! 

Also, if you are craving a little social interaction, feel free to drop in on our FlipGrid! Let me know if you want me to resend your login info.
