Building a Community of Life-long Learners

Yes! It absolutely is possible to learn to play the flute as an adult even if you have never played an instrument before. I am happy to teach you how to read music, how to improve your listening skills

No! I am fortunate to work with a large community of adult flutists! My adult students have their own classes, ensembles, and performance opportunities. Come join us!

No! It is never too late to get back to your love of music!

 "I have been a student at Gift Flute Studio for a little over a year.  Beginning my flute journey as a senior citizen, I honestly didn't know if I was even able to learn how to play an instrument.  From the first lesson, Gretchen Germann made me feel encouraged, capable, and at ease.  I immediately picked up on her joy, passion, and love for music and the flute and this is evident at every single lesson.
     While she has her own goals for me, she also understands my own personal goals and challenges me to achieve both.  She listens and communicates well, adapts to situations and offers a variety of learning techniques.  Gretchen lovingly encourages students to get out of their comfort zone and participate in some of the opportunities she provides such as group classes, studio classes, holiday performances at nursing homes, hospitals, etc.  
     During this past year, I have grown as a flute player more than I could have imagined!  With Gretchen's expertise, experience and passion she can help you become the flutist you desire to be."  Cathy S.
