Meet Jacqueline - Flute Teacher

I have spent most of my life performing on flute and piccolo and teaching flute, clarinet, and saxophone in Boston, Massachusetts. Most recently I have made my home in West Jordan, Utah. As a freelance musician in New England, I played with the Rhode Island Symphony, the New Hampshire Symphony, and the Portland, Maine Symphony. In addition, I have played with the Three Tenors on tour in Boston, with the Boston Opera, and have had many other performing engagements. In Europe, I played in Italy with the Spoleto Festival Orchestra and in Lisbon, Portugal with the Nova Philharmonia Portuguesa. I also traveled to Mexico to play with the Monterrey Orquestra Sinfonica. I have had many other freelance jobs in the Boston area, some of which include the Cape Cod Symphony, Northeaster University Choir, and other local musical groups.

I received a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in flute performance from the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, MA. I have taught at the South Shore Conservatory, the New School of Music in Cambridge, MA, Milton Academy, and the Newton, Watertown, and Brookline Public Schools.

As a teacher, I aim to make students of all ages confident enough to play any style of music with any group of people. To achieve this, I focus on step-by-step learning to read music and count rhythms. My students have had great success in district and concerto competitions. The discipline one learns through music study can positively impact every aspect of their life. I develop friendships with my students while maintaining a teacher-student relationship that challenges them to reach their greatest potential.

Some of my other interests include organic gardening and cooking. I also enjoy participating in book clubs. I am a nature lover and am looking forward to discovering all that Salt Lake has to offer.
