Improving Your Sound & Improvs: Small Group Lessons [Fridays in June 2023]

The heart of the modern Native American flute is largely rooted in improvisation. And while it's great when we first learn to play, it can also leave us feeling lost and limited when creating fresh and exciting sounds. Maybe you feel like everything you play sounds the same, or you feel pressure to keep the audience engaged after just a minute or two of playing.

Believe me, I've been there too! But don't worry; with my SGL Program, you'll have access to the tools and workflows that helped me break out of that cycle and harness the inspiration I needed to create complete and robust improvisations.

Whether you want to polish your sound, increase your proficiency with the Native American flute, or create more dynamic and captivating improvisations, this program is perfect! As your instructor, I'll guide you through a personalized journey that includes various techniques like playing with rhythm, exploring new scales, perfecting your breathwork, and experimenting with embellishment choices and placements.

And let me tell you, I understand the ruts and lulls in playing the Native American flute. But with my program, you'll receive professional feedback and support from both myself and your peers during each session, ensuring that you're getting the guidance you need to grow as a flute player.

Additionally, we offer an optional package that includes three 30-minute private sessions with me, providing extra support tailored to your needs. Every session is video recorded and shared with participants, allowing you to review and learn at your own pace. If you can't make a session, don't worry - you'll receive the recording and any homework assigned until July 30th.

Seats for this exclusive program are limited to just 10 participants per session, so don't hesitate to sign up. Invest in yourself and discover new ways to express yourself through the Native American flute with my SGL Program.

Availability

At this time there is only ONE time option for this current SGL. If you signup for the option with three additional private sessions, you will be sent a link to schedule those private lessons independently.  

This round of SGL Sessions starts on Friday, June 2 at 11 a.m. Central Time and meets every week via Zoom until June 30th.

Here's the schedule for these sessions:

• Friday, June 2, 11 a.m.-1 p.m. CT

Your one-time fee of $250 covers all sessions and any materials that I provide you as resources so you can get the most out of this experience.  

Get Extra Support

Because I've gotten many student requests, I'm adding an option for extra support and 1:1 time. This time can be focused on the work you're doing in the SGL or on something that isn't covered in the program. It's up to you! Your one-time fee of $400 covers all group sessions, any materials I provide you, and three 30-minute private sessions. 

Every group session will be video recorded and shared with you so you can continue growing. If you cannot make one of these meetings, you will receive the recording and any homework for that period. The recordings will be made available until July 30th. 

There are only 10 seats available for each SGL program and we do anticipate them to sell out. The last sessions were filled and we started a waiting list.   

After you checkout, you will receive a PDF via email. This PDF has all the information that you'll need to access the group zoom meetings. Within one week of our first session, I will reach out with more information and expectations. 

About Small Group Lessons (SGLs):

SGLs are designed to help flute players achieve a pre-determined goal while working in a small cohort alongside like-minded individuals. This learning style is one of the most affordable and direct learning methods. Most of the programming offered in this way will be conducted through five, 90-120 minute Zoom sessions.
