Flute Lessons

Come and learn what lessons will be like.
Lessons are offered for all levels of flute students from beginning to advanced levels.  Playing a musical instrument is a very special way of being able to express yourself.   Efforts will be made to find out what motivates the student and they will be encouraged and guided to advance to the next level.  There will be an opportunity for students to perform individually or as part of a group each year.   

The instructor, Chris Wolken, connected with the flute at a young age and is passionate about passing on this joy of playing to others.  She has studied flute with members of the Detroit, Kansas City, and Oregon Symphonies.  For most of her life she has performed with various orchestras and concert bands including 17 years with the Columbia Symphony Orchestra.  She has also performed solo or in small ensembles for various recitals, weddings, and other events. 
Chris Wolken has 15 years experience teaching flute lessons and 25 years experience teaching elementary through high school band and orchestra in public schools.
