1:1 Flute Lessons - Beginner to Intermediate Levels! (30-Minutes)

Hi, I'm Mrs. Shelby! 

I've been teaching flute in person and online for nine years and I love using this platform to help students gain a love for music. From the moment I picked up a flute in fifth grade, I was hooked! But I seriously struggled to make a sound and even read music in the beginning. It brings me so much joy as a teacher to be able to guide students through those tricky beginning stages of learning the flute, and work with them all the way to playing advanced repertoire and preparing for auditions and performances. 

My passion is working with brand new beginners in a fun and engaging environment, as well as challenging students who are well on their way in their flute playing journey. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Music Education from Morehead State University and received a Graduate Certificate in Flute Performance and Recording & Production from the University of Denver.  I am a state certified music teacher in grades Pre-K through 12, and I received KinderFlute teacher training in 2021. 

I've taught dozens of brand new beginners, as well as advanced students both in person and on Zoom. Together we're able to find a beautiful sound and have a great start to flute playing! I've also coached advanced students on solo repertoire, tone and technique for competitions, college auditions, and scholarship auditions, as well as undergraduate level music majors. Whether your student is a brand new beginner, prepping for music school auditions, or somewhere in between, I would love to guide them in their flute playing journey. 

Outside of teaching and playing the flute, I'm a wife, mom (both to my son, Milo and to my two kitties!), and avid tea drinker ☕️

Thank you for considering me to be a part of your child's music education!
