Hello, my name is Valentina, and I teach flute to students of all ages and experience levels. I’ve been playing since I was a child, and the instrument has been a constant in my life—elegant, expressive, and endlessly interesting. Over the years, I’ve performed in chamber ensembles, community orchestras, and solo recitals, but what I’ve truly come to love most is teaching.

In my studio, I focus on creating a supportive environment where students feel both challenged and encouraged. I believe in structure, but I also believe in kindness, and I do my best to meet each student where they are. Whether we’re working on tone, breath control, or a tricky passage in a new piece, my goal is to make the process clear, approachable, and even enjoyable.

I consider it a privilege to share music with others, and I never take for granted the trust my students and their families place in me. Teaching flute isn’t just about notes on a page—it’s about building confidence, focus, and a lifelong love of music. I look forward to helping you or your child grow as a flutist and a musician.
