Thomas Q., Flute Teacher, Boston
(339) 368-6363
About Me:
Learning music should be fun, challenging, and ultimately rewarding for both the student and the teacher. I like to work with the student first to determine what their goals would be, or what they want to learn and gain from the lessons. Then we work together learning the fundamentals of the instrument and how to read music. We play songs and pieces to make the music exciting and utilize our fundamentals and theory. With daily practice, patience and hard work from the student and teacher, the student will reach their goals successfully.

The 20th century saw a revival of the recorder, while the concert flute and tin whistle continued to be popular. The invention of plastics in the 20th century gave birth to the tonette, a fipple flute used in music education, but it soon fell out of use, replaced by plastic recorders.
