Is your flute or piccolo just not feeling right?
Is your flute or piccolo just not feeling right?
Maybe your response is inconsistent, articulation feels fuzzy, or something just sounds off. Whether you’re a student unsure if it’s you or the instrument, a teacher wanting to help a student through a frustrating hurdle, or a professional trying to diagnose a subtle mechanical issue — we’re here to help.
Virtual Sessions
Our 20-minute virtual Refinement Sessions are designed to give flutists and piccolo players personalized, expert insight into what might be holding their instrument back. You’ll receive real-time evaluation, clear guidance, and immediate strategies to get back to your best sound.
We’ll cover:
• Key response issues and sluggish mechanics
• Tone inconsistencies and articulation challenges
• Minor adjustments you can make safely
• How to distinguish player-related vs. instrument-related concerns
• What next steps to take — whether it’s at-home care, a visit to a repair technician, or further educational support
Every session is tailored to you — your instrument, your setup, and your needs.
Cost: $45 per session
Platform: Zoom or Facebook Messenger
Includes: Session summary and recommendations sent by email upon request
If we discover that your instrument needs in-person attention, we’ll refer you to a trusted repair technician in your area or help you understand what to ask for. This service is not a replacement for professional repair, but rather a bridge to help you make informed decisions and get clarity without guesswork,
