"I started taking lessons with Lynn in November of 2021, when we were all just coming out of the pandemic. I live in Washington state and my lessons have been almost entirely virtual, with only two in-person lessons my entire two and a half years working with her. She’s helped me improve so much in such a short time and given me a confidence to perform that I wouldn’t have without her. I went from a mediocre player that was decent by a high school freshman’s standard to performing at the state level of solo and ensemble at age 17 for my junior year. and wanting to continue doing it throughout college and professionally. There aren’t enough words to describe how thankful I am to have had her guiding me and teaching me as I learned about the flute."

“Lynn, I absolutely loved everything about the lessons you gave Melania. You are professional, encouraging, patient, knowledgeable, objective, and also a really nice person. You have a great way of explaining little things to improve technique. If there was a place to give you a rating and a recommendation, I would give an A++. With gratitude for all of your help with Melania."

“Lynn was recommended to us by a couple of different parents in our community. Her gentle positive approach makes learning flute fun and engaging. Throughout the lessons, Lynn incorporates rhythm, sound, pitch, sight reading trainings as well as correct posture for healthy playing. My daughter was one of the youngest players to try out for NYSSMA this year and achieved a perfect score. She has been taking lessons from Lynn for about a year and a half, will keep on going for sure."

“When I first picked up the flute in September of 2019, I knew nothing. However, over the last three years Lynn has helped me slowly work my way up to where I am now. This past Spring, I auditioned for NYSSMA (Level II) and scored 27 out of 28. Lynn is kind and patient, never getting upset when I play a wrong note. She also kept my passion for flute going when I felt frustrated. I always feel excited to join her class. Now going into sixth grade I can play a variety of pieces with Lynn’s guidance.”

"Lynn clearly knows what she is doing. She's very patient with my eight-year-old son and quite knowledgeable with flute and other instruments. She is very organized with her assignments, knows how to motivate the kids, and in addition to teaching them to learn the instrument, she's also trying to teach them musicality and the ability to enjoy good music. She's one of the top tier music teachers my kids have had the luck to learn from. In the last two years, which also coincides with the pandemic, she has been flexible in scheduling, and has tried her best to accommodate the kids and the parents' needs. She is a great pleasure and very easy to work with, which is very important in this trying time. In the last two years I have seen my son from barely making sounds off the flute to playing some complicated pieces and sustained a great interest in playing the flute, which is quite heartwarming. I can't say enough thanks!"

"My daughter, Claire (age 7) had a great time in Lynn's virtual flute summer camp today. Her lesson was well structured and her instruction was very clear. Although we can't have face-to-face lessons right now, Lynn's demonstration and scaffolding are clear and helpful. The pacing is right for the kids. Claire was excited that she could make a sound blowing the headjoint. Thank you for the wonderful lesson! We are looking forward to having more lessons with you!"

​"I have been so amazed with my daughter, Faedra's (age 15) improvement. She has learned so much from Lynn. Now she practices without me reminding her, and more importantly she looks forward to her weekly lesson! Lynn is very patient, extremely well qualified, and has rekindled my daughter's love for the flute. They work so well together. Her technique, tone, and musicianship has improved so much she is doing NYSSMA this year. Lynn has been invaluable for my daughter's skill and love for music."

"My daughter, Lila (age 11) has developed so well and so quickly in the time with Lynn, and that she’s so motivated to continue is fantastic. Music is very important in our family and it’s a joy to see how Lynn has facilitated her connection to it and boosted her confidence. Thank you for being such a wonderful teacher and inspiration to Lila. It makes me so happy to see her grow and enjoy playing with your influence and teaching."
