Flute Lessons

Levels Taught: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced

Learning flute requires very specific instruction from someone who knows flute technique. Flute embouchure (the shape of the lips) is very different from all other instruments. Also with hand position, posture and breathing it is very important to learn these things correctly from the beginning. Along with these things, note reading and general theory concepts are taught in a very fun way. The best part of learning flute is all the amazing songs available for flute in many different styles: jazz, classical, Latin, Irish, folk....to name a few!

  • Teaches students aged 7+

Lisa has 17 years experience teaching in her home studio and in Queensland schools. She has taught all ages (from 6 to 60) and all levels (from beginner to AMEB and Trinity grade 8). Lisa’s students have an excellent record of results with exams, eisteddfods and performances.

Lisa was the Flute Tutor at Good Shepherd Lutheran College, Noosa for 9 years, Instrumental Tutor at St Andrew’s Anglican College, Peregian for 4 years, and Principal Flute and Piccolo of the Noosa Orchestra for 6 years. Since moving to Brisbane, she is the Woodwind Tutor at Grace Lutheran Primary School and she now performs with Orchestra Concertino in North Brisbane (Flute & Piccolo) and Classic Clarinets of Brisbane.

Lisa tailors her lessons to suit each individual. For very young students, she uses games and activities to enhance learning. For students involved in ensembles, solo performing and exams, there is an emphasis on developing confident performance. For adults who want to learn just for personal enjoyment, there is flexibility of styles and Lisa encourages self-directed learning.

All students are encouraged to play in Lisa's student recitals which are held twice yearly. These are a very friendly and non-threatening way for students to start performing for others. As they advance, they play with piano accompaniment.

Student Feedback

Michael A.

My daughter has had two lessons with Lisa now. She ha a wonderful manner with kids and made my daughter feel very comfortable playing the flute when she hadn't even touched a musical instrument before. Lisa is clearly very experienced and this showed in how she laid out her lesson and how she knew how to explain simple but very unfamiliar concepts. We would have no hesitation in recommending Lisa to other students.
