Our flute teachers teach a wide variety of genres, from classical to pop and jazz. Our students spend time at their music lessons each week working on technical skills to improve their sound quality and intonation, and also have their favorite songs incorporated into the lessons -- so they finish with their favorite piece.
GAA's carefully vetted flute teachers are passionate about nurturing their student's love of music (and their new instrument); that is after all the whole point, isn't it. Flute lessons are available for students of all ages and skill levels in Stamford, right here at GAA!
Our flute instructors are warm and friendly, and get to know each student and parent on a personal level. We work with you to craft a lesson plan that fits your individual needs and the student's favorite type of music.
Whether you're playing in local orchestras, a seven year old taking their first lesson, or a fifty year old returning to the flute after many years, we'll set goals to achieve your musical aspirations. Students can receive customized private flute lessons either in studio or online.
Director's interjection here: I'm perfectly well aware that every music school says the above. Every. Single. One. The difference -- and I've felt a passion about this for 40 years -- is that we actually mean it. We are not a music lesson factory.
We teach all music styles from classical to pop and jazz, country, rock and blues.
Our flute faculty have received their general music education from prestigious institutions such as University of California at Berkeley (music dept), Berklee College of Music, Music For The Media, and University of California at Los Angeles (music dept). Many of our instructors have gone on performance tours of the US and Europe and have over 25 years of professional performance and teaching experience.
In addition to their teaching credentials, our teachers have warm personalities, are extremely friendly, and strive to get to know each student and their parent on a personal level. All have extensive experience working with children and adults alike.
Our instructors challenge our students with wide-ranging technical exercises designed to improve speed and comfort. Young students work on their breath control, intonation, fingering, embouchure, and all the technical skills of flute playing. Flute lessons can also focus on developing techniques such as vibrato and improvisation.
Learning "general music" is as vital as specializing in flute. Music theory is important, and is introduced to meet the student's interest. "Jamming" -- improvisation -- is also a good skill for flute players and can be taught (in case you were thinking it was some kind of magical music skill you're born with...)
As they develop, students are encouraged to start to find their own "voice" with regard to their personal musical language. The flute is a highly versatile invention; a well-taught musician can play games with the actual timbre (sound) as they perform. Age isn't a restriction; a child can learn how to do this -- good students working with good teachers.
No. Beginners are welcome! You'll have fun no matter what. :-)
For your convenience, students can use one of our school instruments at their first lesson. But to practice at home, you will need a flute. As we are not a retailer, our teachers will recommend an appropriate model and offer guidance on where to rent or purchase.

Absolutely! Every Fall and Spring, our students have the opportunity to perform in first-class venues. Unlike most of our competitors, we only charge a small participation fee per student, and we never make parents pay for tickets. Admission is free, so you can invite all your family and friends.
Sign up is easy and parent-friendly, with a kind, helpful person to answer the phone seven days a week. We are here to serve you. Because we only offer music lessons on a month-to-month basis, there are no large upfront payments, no complicated contracts, no annual material fees, and no semester minimums.
