Michelle Stockman's Flute Studio
Introduction
As a professional flutist and instructor in New York City, I am dedicated to making the study of the flute and music a valuable and enjoyable component of one's education. I am especially passionate about aiding in the development of children.
As humans, we have the unique ability to be sentient or respond to the world aesthetically. For the interest of this world and the people who inhabit it, the ability to do this: to be aware of our existence and feel compassionate as sentient human beings, is necessary and beautiful. While this may be a difficult ability to develop, I believe that music, unique among many areas of study, can increase our aesthetic sensitivity as it teaches all three realms of knowledge of being: cognitive, psychomotor, and affective. I believe that the study of music is academically valuable as it simultaneously aids in the development of multiple areas of the brain; music is mathematical, scientific, historic, a foreign language, physical, and most importantly, an art. Furthermore, studying music innately develops a students ability to problem solve, think critically, collaborate, welcome constructive criticism, and be imaginative, creative and innovative. This latter skill set, in particular, is essential for life today. Regardless of which profession one chooses, studying the arts can equip students for success in their personal lives, careers, and as active members of their communities.
I began teaching flute during early high school at our districts summer start-up program for young beginners. I have since earned two degrees in flute performance with the goal of becoming a skilled flute pedagogue and have had the great pleasure of mentoring students of all ages and levels, through age 83! I currently offer private instruction for flute, piccolo, and recorder at the Fort Lee School of Music in New Jersey and independently here in New York City. My performance standards and curriculum are tailored for each pupil.
