Flute Courses : Montreal, Canada

I am very passionate about helping people by better learning about their specific needs and backgrounds. Everyone has their own learning curve and I believe that learning an instrument also helps different aspects of a person's life. I want to be able to give you a sense of accomplishment and show you what is possible with proper guidance.

*Parents are highly recommended to sit in during lessons to better help student’s learning process outside of lessons.

Depending on your needs, here is my proposed 10-week plan:

Week 1: Determining level and goals for Week 5 and Week 10 with exercises and sight reading (rhythm and melody); exercises will be given to practice for next lesson.
Week 2: Evaluation on previous exercises, choice of one or more pieces to practice and sight reading.
Week 3: Focus on specific elements from first pieces (expression, technique) and introduce one or more exercises to reinforce those elements.
Week 4: Study of pieces/studies focusing on different elements to be improved upon; sight reading and rhythm exercises.
Week 5: Short assessment of goals determined in first class. Depending on progress, we can re-evaluate objectives for Week 10. More focus on pieces learned and depending on development, new piece(s) can be introduced as well as new exercises.
Week 6: Rhythm and sight reading pieces (duets or other exercises); concentration on breathing, musical expression and style (depending on pieces chosen, we can also look at the musical era’s style); determining what piece we will review in week 7.
Week 7: Review on piece chosen in week 6 with specific focus on certain elements; student’s choice between sight reading/rhythm exercise/study for the rest of the lesson.
Week 8: Exercises and work on all pieces and studies.
Week 9: Sight reading and focus on elements in pieces to work on for Week 10.
Week 10: Assessment and review of all pieces and progress as well as future objectives.
