What Our Clients Are Saying

  • “I have been a student at Gift Flute Studio for a little over a year.  Beginning my flute journey as a senior citizen, I honestly didn't know if I was even able to learn how to play an instrument.  From the first lesson, Gretchen Germann made me feel encouraged, capable, and at ease.  I immediately picked up on her joy, passion, and love for music and the flute and this is evident at every single lesson.      While she has her own goals for me, she also understands my own personal goals and challenges me to achieve both.  She listens and communicates well, adapts to situations and offers a variety of learning techniques.  Gretchen lovingly encourages students to get out of their comfort zone and participate in some of the opportunities she provides such as group classes, studio classes, holiday performances at nursing homes, hospitals, etc.        During this past year, I have grown as a flute player more than I could have imagined!  With Gretchen's expertise, experience and passion she can help you become the flutist you desire to be.”

  • “Gretchen Germann is a music educator extraordinaire!  As an adult student with some long-established bad habits, Gretchen has meaningfully and successfully guided the fine-tuning of my technical music skills while building my music theory foundation in a relaxed, welcoming, and inspiring atmosphere. In addition to private lessons, Gretchen's Gift Flute Studio offers frequent complimentary opportunities in the form of student studio performance gatherings that are a comfortable arena to hone solo and small group performance skills. I feel lucky to have found Gretchen's Gift Flute Studio, and I think you will, too!”

  • “Gretchen is passionate about spending time with her students one on one to share her love and knowledge of the instrument.  Starting my first wind instrument at 66 years of age, note even knowing how to hold a flute, I have been able to achieve a firm foundation with Gretchen’s lessons.  She has many teaching strategies and tailors her teaching methods to the individual player. Technique, tone, breathing, rhythm, articulation, and hand position are all covered in every lesson. My small steps are starting to become larger accomplishments due to practice, patience and persistence.”

  • “I am fortunate to have Gretchen as my flute teacher. I have played flute for years but because I was self- taught I had some huge knowledge gaps.  I needed to work on the basics like scales. Gretchen has helped me with technique, intonation and scales. She does more than private lessons, she has  scheduled time on Sundays for all of her students to play together or to play whatever we are working on for each other as practice for playing in front of an audience. Because of these lessons my playing has improved and I feel more confident when playing in band with others. Gretchen is a kind person and I am grateful to play in her studio. ”

  • I’ve had the incredible opportunity of taking lessons from Mrs. Germann. She is an outstanding teacher, and I cannot speak highly enough of her dedication and passion for teaching flute. She has helped me improve immensely and shown me skills that truly deepened my love for music. Mrs. Germann’s commitment to her students is unwavering; she consistently presents opportunities to attend concerts, allowing her students to learn from the performances. I feel incredibly blessed to have Mrs. Germann as my teacher, and I would not appreciate and love to play the flute without her personalized, inspiring teaching.
