The Massey Flute Studio provides an encouraging environment in which
students not only strengthen their ability on the flute, but also develop a thorough
understanding of music. Lessons focus on exercises to develop the student’s tone production,
intonation, technique, and articulation that build the foundation of a student’s playing.
Scales play an essential role in furthering a student’s technique and are covered in many
forms to increase ease of playing. Etudes and repertoire are selected to cover all periods of
classical music and standards of the flute repertoire.
Following the principles of informed practice, students are taught a variety of topics in
addition to flute techniques. These include entrepreneurship, performance anxiety,
injury prevention, music theory, music history, music appreciation, and much more. These topics
play an essential role in the student’s training and provide a complete knowledge of music.
Join the flute studio at Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers, Florida;
take lessons while on tour (see performance schedule for locations); or online.
With over 20 years of teaching experience and 15 years
of teaching online, lessons will help you reach your goals with flute playing.
