- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The first thing I do with new flute students is assess their level of playing proficiency. Depending on the level, I will spend time to review the foundations of playing the flute, if needed. I determine what goals the student has and what they want to accomplish through taking lessons. Then I either recommend material for us to work on together or we commence with material that the student is preparing for an audition or contest.
