Introduction: "Where words leave off, music begins." — Heinrich Heine Currently accepting new students! Since founding my flute studio in 2012, I have been dedicated to teaching a playful curriculum that allows students to confidently explore the flute. It is amazing to guide students towards an ever increasing sense of musical fluency. As a professional flutist and graduate of Oberlin Conservatory of Music, I offer my students valuable insights. My top priority is to kindly guide students towards a deeper understanding of music and instrumental technique. I work with students of all ages, abilities, and levels - adults and professionals are also welcome! Students leave each lesson with a clear understanding of their goals for the upcoming week. Lessons teach the student how to improve their technique in each practice session -- often resulting in increased enjoyment and less struggle. In our initial consultation (via Zoom), let's meet briefly to discuss any goals and general objectives. We will also discuss my teaching philosophy, studio policies, tuition costs, and mutual availabilities for our first session. Each prospective student also has the option to add a complimentary 15-minute intro mini lesson onto this initial meeting - please inquire! In-person lessons are available in Manhattan near Penn Station and virtually via Zoom. In-home and hybrid options (a mix of in-person & virtual) are also possible Lastly, please feel free to future explore more info about my lesson studio on my website. You're welcome to reach out to me there or via Thumbtack for more information -- I look forward to speaking with you soon! --- Studio Alumni have been admitted into music programs at competitive music schools, including: Eastman School of Music Indiana University Florida State University University of Michigan University of Georgia (Athens) Hartford University University of Florida Dreyfoos School of the Arts (FL) Bak Middle School of the Arts (FL) LaGuardia School of the Arts (NYC) Students are also invited to perform throughout the year in solo recitals and studio classes. Students can expect to learn a variety of skills over the course of lessons, including: -breathing technique -tone production -musical styles -exercises -etudes -solo and orchestral repertoire Flute Lesson topics cover: - How to confidently (and joyfully) learn and perform - Fundamentals of easeful technique - Audition Preparation (ie: All-District and All-State; College Auditions and Competitions) - Solo repertoire studies - Music Theory and History - Basic Piano Skills - Ensembles (Virtual and In-Person offerings) - Studio Class (Virtual and In-Person offerings) I look forward to speaking with you regarding you or your child's musical studies!

Jenna has a unique and well thought out approach to teaching. Knowledgeable, patient, and commincative, both during and between lessons. I'd definitely recommend Jenna to novice or more advanced students who have not had much success with the standard traditional approaches to flute instruction.

Miss Jenna came into our lives at the end of last year 2019. She has groomed my daughter from the first moment we heard that my daughter was going to have the opportunity to audit for Bak Middle school of the Arts. From the first moment I met Miss Jenna I knew that she was going to be the perfect person to prepare my daughter because she is a highly educated person and her personality is very upright which I love, and I appreciate very much. Having Miss Jenna in my daughter’s life is extraordinary and I really appreciate her kindness. She is always attentive to the needs of her students and is very professional in every way. She is a fantastic teacher and she always offers the best education for my daughter who loves her and respects her very much. Jenna is so deeply dedicated to her work that she even dedicates personal time to her students. I have to add that her qualities are many and very positive and I know that she has touched the life not only of my daughter but my own due to her work ethic and her marked professionalism. I highly recommend Miss Jenna if you are looking for an extraordinary person to walk your son or daughter through music. Miss Jenna is very knowledgeable, and I can see that her passion is very great. Finally, I have to add that my daughter not only is learning flute with her, but she is also learning piano as well. We are extremely happy with Miss Jenna.
