For Students

Charleston flute lessons Hello prospective students!

Thank you for considering me as your flute teacher!  As a music lover, one of my biggest passions is spending time with flutists one on one to share my love of the instrument.  I enjoy teaching flutists of all ages and levels, ranging from the young beginner, to the advanced college level or the older adult who enjoys playing the flute as a hobby.

As the daughter of a former middle school band director and a music education major myself, I have been involved in many aspects of music education over the last 20 years.  These experiences within music education have given me a broad range of knowledge not just of the flute, but of teaching strategies as well.  Because of this, I always tailor my educational goals and teaching methods to be unique to that individual player.

I offer a free 30 minute free trial lesson for prospective private students, and a 60 minute trial lesson for any students interested in attending the College of Charleston.  This enables us to meet and see if we could have a productive student-teacher relationship.  I also offer virtual lessons via Zoom and other online platforms.  Please feel free to contact me directly at hull91@hotmail.com or submit a contact form if you are interested in flute lessons.  I look forward to hearing you!

Current Students

Below is a list of standard flute repertoire I most commonly use with my students.  I suggest purchasing music through these two dealers:

Fluteworld – www.fluteworld.com
Carolyn Nussbaum – www.flute4u.com

Another excellent resource for choosing solo repertoire and study material is the Selected Flute Repertoire and Studies: A Graded Guide (National Flute Association, Inc.: 2009)This repertoire list helps you choose music appropriate to your ability – it has eleven levels from A (beginner) to K (advanced). In general, Level G is appropriate for a first-year music major, and Levels H, I, J, and K for second-, third-, fourth-year and graduate students respectively.
