Flute Lessons in Arlington Heights, IL
One-on-one flute instruction for kids, teens, and adults at The Arlington School of Music — in person at our downtown Arlington Heights studio or online.
Flute and piccolo lessons at The Arlington School of Music are taught by Kristin Gorski, Head of our Woodwind & Brass Department. Lessons focus on the fundamentals that make flute playing rewarding — embouchure, breath support, tone color, articulation, and phrasing.
Many of our flute students are school band musicians working toward better chair placements, honor bands, and solo & ensemble contests; others are beginners of any age discovering the instrument. Every lesson is one-on-one and paced to the student.
Students come to our downtown Arlington Heights studio from across the Northwest Suburbs, and online lessons are available.
