ONLINE JAZZ FLUTE LESSONS

Over the years I have developed a personal, interactive style of jazz flute teaching based very much on interplay. I have, I feel, managed to adapt this method to the computer age and offer individual lessons on line using Skype as a platform.
I am bilingual – English/Italian and am happy to teach in either language. I guarantee my commitment and availability once we get started. The results will be very much up to you: I can show you the way, point out things you might not have noticed, suggest exercises, revolutionise (hopefully) your approach to daily study, but it’s up to you if you want to apply yourself or not.
I am used to working with musicians from all backgrounds. Quite often I find myself telling classical players to loosen up and jazzers to play it more cleanly. My philosophy is that any technique you use, any sound you make, has to be because that’s what you want at that time, not because it’s the only one you’ve got.
I have a classical background but right out of university I was on the road as a jazzman. I have worked in commercial music, salsa bands, and jazz bands from swing to modern, from jazz fusion to ethnojazz.
During our lessons we will talk, of course, about theory, but I will leave it up to you to fill in the gaps in your knowledge on your own time (I will be happy to provide specific theory sheets when these are needed.) I will provide you with some simple backing tracks to play over, and ask you to send me recorded versions of how you are getting along. Some of the material will be famous standards ,and some will be made-to-measure jazz educational pieces by myself.
Using Skype we can do lessons wherever you happen to be, just as long as you have:
Skype
Webcam , mike and speakers on your computer
High speed internet
