About Joe

I'm Joe, and the flute family has been at the center of my musical life for as long as I can remember.

Not just one instrument — all of them. The concert flute, the piccolo, the alto flute, the bass flute, the recorder. Each one has its own character, its own color, its own way of sitting in the music. And over the years I've developed a genuine relationship with all of them — performing across different settings and styles, exploring what each instrument can do in the right hands, and building a level of fluency across the whole family that I now bring directly into my teaching.

Most flute teachers specialize in one. I didn't want to do that. Because the more instruments in this family I explored, the more

I realized how much they inform each other — how understanding the bass flute changes the way you think about breath on the concert flute, how the piccolo sharpens your precision in ways that carry over to everything else. That cross-instrument perspective is something my students genuinely benefit from, whether they come to me focused on one specific instrument or curious about several.

I've worked with complete beginners who'd never produced a single note on a wind instrument, younger students discovering the recorder for the first time, adult learners picking up the flute after years of wanting to, and more experienced players looking to refine their technique or expand into a related instrument. All of them found something here that moved them forward. That's what I'm here for!

Every lesson starts with a simple conversation — what you play, what you want to achieve, and what's been getting in the way.

From there we build a plan that's specific to you. Not a generic program pulled off a shelf, but something designed around your instrument, your level, your goals, and the music that actually excites you. Whether you're working on the concert flute, exploring the warmth of the alto flute, tackling the intensity of the piccolo, or just starting out on the recorder — the approach adapts completely to what you need.

Here's what stays consistent across all of it:

Sound comes first. Before anything else, we work on producing a tone that's open, clear, and expressive. Everything — technique, range, articulation, dynamics — builds on top of that foundation. Rush it and nothing else holds together. Build it properly and everything else follows naturally.

Breath is everything on these instruments. We spend real time understanding it — not just as a mechanical thing, but as the actual source of expression and control. Students who understand their breath play differently. Better, freer, more musically.

Technique is taught in context. Scales, fingerings, embouchure work — all of it connects directly to the music you're learning, so nothing ever feels like it exists in isolation.

We work on repertoire you care about. Whatever style draws you in — classical, folk, contemporary, whatever it might be — that becomes the vehicle for your development. You'll always be working toward something that feels meaningful.

And progress here is tangible. You'll leave every session knowing exactly what improved and exactly what to focus on before we meet again.

The flute family is one of the most expressive corners of the musical world. Whichever instrument brought you here — let's see how far we can take it.

  • When did you first develop a passion for music and your favorite instrument?

    I developed my passion for music when I was young after my friend gave me his guitar because he was going on a trip. I started by playing few strings and then I quickly discovered that I could make a melody out of it. So I started by learning, and then my friend figured out that I was learning the guitar, so he was kind enough to keep it with me and from there my passion for music developed.
  • Is there a particular type of music or artist that you listen to on a loop without it driving you crazy?

    Classical music is usually something that I can listen to the whole day. I like to use classical music when I'm working and I'm focused. And it's also doesn't have lyrics, so it doesn't make me focus on the lyrics, but rather I can just enjoy the music.
  • Explain to us the most difficult or riveting course you could personally give to a student of music.

    Usually music theory is the hardest thing that I can teach for students because it's too boring and it's hard to see the big picture. And so I try to make my best to teach it in a fun way and make it clear for the students why I'm teaching the music theory. Because it can get tricky sometimes.
  • What do you think is the most complicated instrument to master and why?

    Depending on what complicated means, in terms of actual complication on the instrument side, violin is one of the hardest. But then on the music theory side, you could have guitar, that involves a lot of finger exercises and a lot of theory as well. But if I were to pick one, I would say violin.
  • What are your keys to success?

    I see that across students, that the most successful ones are the ones that stay consistent, dedicated and practice. So I attribute this as the key to success in music.
  • Name three musicians you dream of meeting in your favourite bar in the early hours of the morning. Explain why.

    Mozart, Gary Moore, Aden Foyer. The reason is that this makes the perfect combination of classical music on piano, electric guitar — Gary Moore is known for this, and Aden Foyer for random style songs
  • Provide a valuable anecdote related to music or your days at music school.

    During music school, I once spent days trying to perfect a difficult section of a piece, and the harder I pushed, the more frustrated I became. My teacher told me to stop playing the entire piece and work on only a few notes at a very slow tempo. At first, I thought I was moving backwards, but that small change solved the problem. It taught me that patience and focused practice are often more effective than simply repeating something over and over.
  • What are the little touches that make you a Superprof in music?

    I think that you have to think in the POV of the student. If I understand something, doesn't mean the student understands it. I try to put myself in the student's shoes, ask for feedback, and continue from here
