FLUTE STUDIO
Dr. Kane has been teaching flute privately for over 20 years. She is located in West Chester, OH where she works with students of all ages and skill levels. She caters her teaching to each individual student, addressing each student’s unique goals. Whether you’re a beginner wanting to get started on the right track, an adult student picking flute up as a new hobby or after a long break, or an advanced student hoping to refine your skills to play and audition competitively, Dr. Kane can help you achieve your musical goals!
Dr. Kane’s students have consistently won positions in Ohio All-State ensembles, area youth orchestras, and regional honor bands and orchestras. Many have gone on to study music performance or education at the collegiate level.
GROUP CLASSES
NEW for 2022! Dr. Kane will be teaching group classes for beginning students. These classes are open to beginners 5th grade and up. Classes will focus on achieving a good basic tone, learning fingerings, articulation, and playing short pieces. Students enrolled in the fall session will have the option of performing short ensemble pieces for our Christmas concert.
Group classes will be held at the following times:
Tuesdays 6:30-7:30PM Saturdays 10:00-11:00AM *Homeschool Group Class time TBD (based on student availability)
Classes begin the week of September 5. Please contact Dr. Kane for tuition rates and other details.
PRIVATE LESSONS
Private lessons are available in 30, 45, and 60 minute increments. Lessons focus on learning proper embouchure and breath control for optimal tone quality, technical facility, and musical interpretation and expression. Students typically work on tone studies, scales and technique exercises, method book studies, solo repertoire, and ensemble music.
Students are encouraged to perform as much as possible and are featured in an annual studio recital. Morrigan also attends as many of her students' performances and auditions as possible.

FLUTE CHOIR
Flute Choir is a fun way to work on improving your ensemble skills, and a great opportunity for students to perform in a group setting. We perform annually for the West Chester Christmas Walk and often play concerts at area nursing homes.
Our Fall 2022 session #1 (beginning August 16) will feature selections of Halloween themed music. Classes will be held on Tuesday nights from 7:30-8:30. Fall 2022 session #2 (beginning October 11) will feature holiday pieces.
