Meet Shannon
I am a classically trained flutist and vocalist, with over 12 years' experience teaching private music lessons. I have a passion for music and love to share that passion with my students.
​
I hold a Bachelor's in Music and have performed with a variety of chamber groups, orchestras, wind bands, flute choirs, and pit orchestras. Most notably, I co-directed the Rocky Mountain Flute Choir, a 25+ member flute choir , as well as served as principle flutist of the Castle Rock Orchestra for two seasons before moving to Minnesota.
​
My favorite aspect of music is exploring expression in playing. There is a world of difference between a flawless mechanical performance and a heartfelt performance from the soul! I love introducing the concept of musicality to my students, and watching their creativity shine as they explore their own interpretations of the pieces they play.
​
My favorite performance was as the principal flutist in the pit orchestra for a high school musical theater group for two seasons. Theater music is so much fun, and I loved coaching the high school flutists who join the pit orchestra. We had a wonderful group, and had a great time together!
