Testimonial from a proud student’s Mom –
Jean –
I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the recital on Sunday. It is a wonderful opportunity to see how a whole year’s work comes together. I also like how you set it up – from the least experienced to the most experienced. It’s great to really see how far Z. Lily has come when I heard Libby W. – to where she could go – Emma O. Emma was wonderful. Z. Lily was really proud, too!
Thanks for all of your hard work. You are a gem!!

And one from a happy student
A lesson with Miss Jean is well worth the modest investment (actually, it’s more reasonable than what I pay my kids’ teachers for face-to-face lessons), and the Skype® format works incredibly well. Believe me, nothing gets past this woman; she is as sharp as a tack!

Words of Wisdom from my teacher, Samuel Baron, to you.
What is Practicing?
Practicing is essentially repetition – you repeat things over and over. There is a goal in this activity. Through repetition you achieve something that might be called a groove in the brain or a habit.
What are the benefits of practice?
Through practice we achieve a oneness with the instrument and the music. Imagine the time you spend with your flute as talking to it. You will soon realize that you have talked to the flute more than you have talked to your spouse or children, your mother or your father, your best friend or your sweetheart. That flute is your best friend, and the time you spend with it is bonding. That’s what we’re after as flutists and musicians.
