My daughter has been going to Cassie for flute lessons for almost a year. My daughter loves getting flute lessons from Cassie. My daughter says Cassie is fun but also challenges her. Cassie also has a wide variety of music for the flute. I would highly recommend her for your flute lesson needs. - Nate R

I’m a high school student who’s been playing the flute for years, and I recently began lessons at Cassie’s studio. The lessons are fun and engaging, and Cassie is always kind and offers helpful feedback and insight to improve playing. In addition, we study a wide variety of music—baroque, classical, and contemporary, just to name a few—from different time periods, and I’ve had a lot of fun exploring different genres. I’ve really enjoyed working with her so far! - Sophia Z.

Cassie is an amazing teacher! My daughter is new to the flute, and Cassie has been so patient while she gets the hang of the instrument. Cassie is kind, welcoming, and fun! She has creative ways to help her learn proper technique, etc. My daughter really looks forward to lessons and enjoys them so much! - Stacey K.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness takes a key role in flute lessons with me! Not only are you going to learn to be an incredible flutist, but you’ll also learn to be more in the present with your flute practice, hold space for yourself, and gain emotional intelligence along the way.

Music Theory & History

People sit around the table as in a seance and the main speaker says "neediness"

We can get nerdy by giving context to your music with music theory and history, and even get into some improvising, composing, and other fun ways to make music enjoyable no matter where you are in the journey!
