hey! I'm so glad you're here.
I'm thrilled that you are interested in taking private flute lessons with me! I have experience working with beginning and intermediate players to advanced flutists, as well as a diverse age ranges spanning from elementary school to 50+. I am available for 60, 45, or 30 minute time blocks both online and in-person. I focus on a pedagogy inspired by both traditional and progressive methods in terms of lesson structure and student-teacher relationships. I lean heavily on audiation to train the ear as well as creating a firm technical foundation to foster the tools of a flexible player. I hope to help foster student connections with music to make its study both enriching and enjoyable. I think private lessons can be whatever best fits your lifestyle: whether that's performing competitively, preparing for auditions, or just for fun!

“MJ knows how to help you grow. She listens to you play and automatically knows what to say to help you improve your sound. She gives really good tips…and she’s funny too! I always looked forward to my lessons!”

"Miracle was very professional and punctual. She helped our daughter exceed her flute skills and guide her to the next level."
-Morgan B.
“MJ teaches with a wonderful balance of providing fundamental flute instruction that all players need - tone, technique, musicality - while also being keenly aware of each individual student’s needs. She listens with intent, analyzes accurately, and adapts instruction as needed to best guide her students. MJ provides insightful, honest, and accurate feedback that’s wrapped up in a straightforward yet gentle (and often humorous!) delivery. In addition to being an exceptional musician and teacher, MJ is a people-person with a natural ability to build positive rapports with her students, making the music room a place where students want to be. My child’s musical growth flourished under MJ’s care, but, more importantly, so did her self-confidence and love for learning. Getting to study with MJ was a true gift!”
-Mary Margaret W.
"Miracle has a fantastic rapport with students and uses developmentally appropriate pedagogy during all levels of instruction. The progress she was able to make with my flute students in such a short amount of time was remarkable, and they are still using her techniques to refine their own skills."
-Shelby W.
