Inspire. Play. Achieve.
At Jenni Marie Studios, flute lessons are designed to meet you where you are — whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your advanced skills.
Each lesson is structured around your individual goals, and you can expect a supportive, patient environment where growth happens naturally and confidently. Here's what a typical flute lesson includes:
Warm-Up and Fundamentals
We’ll begin each lesson with breathing exercises, tone development, scales, and technique work to build a strong foundation for every flutist.
Personalized Instruction
Lessons are tailored to your unique needs — whether it’s improving tone quality, expanding range, mastering articulation, or developing musical phrasing.
Repertoire Building
Together, we’ll work on pieces suited to your current level and goals. This may include solo literature, etudes, band music, or region audition pieces.
Musicianship and Expression
Beyond just playing the notes, you’ll learn how to interpret music with style, dynamics, and emotion, building artistry as well as technique.
Performance Preparation
If you have upcoming auditions, performances, or competitions, lessons can focus on stage presence, confidence-building, and mock performances to prepare you for success.
Goal Setting and Encouragement
At the end of each lesson, we’ll set achievable goals for your practice sessions, ensuring steady progress while keeping lessons fun and motivating.
My teaching approach is positive, structured, and adaptable, ensuring that every student feels confident, encouraged, and inspired to keep learning and growing.
Whether you're picking up the flute for the first time or preparing for college auditions, you’ll find a welcoming space at Jenni Marie Studios to explore your musical potential!
Please note: It is recommended that students under the age of 12 begin with 30-minute lessons per week to maintain focus and build confidence. Students over the age of 12 may progress into full 1-hour lessons based on their readiness and experience.
Master. Perform. Shine.
Led by Mrs. Lacy, a classically trained flutist and experienced music educator, these master classes are specifically designed for middle and high school band directors who want to offer their students additional support throughout the year.
Master classes focus on:
Region Music Preparation – Helping students master audition materials with confidence and polish.
Summer Band Camp Preparation – Strengthening fundamental skills before the season begins.
Essential Technique Development – Tone production, breathing, articulation, scales, and intonation work.
Musical Interpretation and Performance Skills – Teaching students how to bring expression and style to their playing.
Audition and Recital Coaching – Building stage presence, overcoming performance anxiety, and achieving personal bests.
Master classes are offered onsite at your school and can be scheduled throughout the year to fit your program’s needs.
My goal is to create a supportive, motivating environment where every flutist can grow in skill, artistry, and confidence, helping your band program shine even brighter.
