About Alan
Dr. Alan Berquist has been a flutist for over 30 years and educator for two decades based in Northern California. He is Adjunct Professor of Flute at California State University, Stanislaus and Diablo Valley College.
He was a student of Dalcroze Eurhythmics at the Marta Sanchez Dalcroze Training Center at Carnegie Mellon University with support from the Dalcroze Society of America in 2019. He performs with Ensemble 126, Etesian Duo, Bay Area Rainbow Symphony, and Awesöme Orchestra Collective. He has also performed with the California Symphony, The American Opera Project, Brooklyn Wind Symphony, and the Albany (GA), Astoria (NY), Madison (WI), and Tallahassee Symphony Orchestras.
Alan has performed in dozens of masterclasses across the country, for international flute luminaries like Sir James Galway, Paul Edmund-Davies, Karl-Heinz Schütz, Leone Buyse, and Julius Baker.
He holds degrees from Florida State University (DM 2020, BM 2002), University of Wisconsin-Madison (MM 2004), and a Certificate in Advanced Flute Studies from Carnegie Mellon University (2006). His principal teachers include Eva Amsler, Alberto Almarza, Stephanie Jutt, Caryl Mae Scott, and Susan Clark.
I enjoy helping and being of service to my community. Meeting students and colleagues to create art and unexpected beauty is a great joy.
Performing and teaching go hand in hand, and from a family of educators it was a natural progression to pursue eduction that involved pedagogy and teaching for all musicians.

Languages in which the lesson is available :

Lessons incorporate strong foundations in breath, tone, and technique through body awareness (kinesiology) in a constructivist atmosphere. Personally tailored to each flutist, holistic principles from Alexander Technique, Body Mapping, and Dalcroze Eurhythmics are a gateway to having you perform your best!
From beginners to advanced graduate students, ages 8 to 98! All different needs and levels of commitment from just for fun to professionals.
Find the person you get along with the most as it is a 1:1 teaching experience. The right fit will challenge you but also have compassion.
Many performances are special, mostly with my chamber ensembles or large groups where we come together to make something bigger than ourselves.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Understanding what it is you want to accomplish and the time you have to devote to improvement.
