Lesson Studio of Jenna Brixius

"Where words leave off, music begins." — Heinrich Heine
​
Currently Accepting New Students for the 2025-2026 School Year!
Since founding my flute lesson studio in 2012, I have been dedicated to
teaching a curriculum that allows students to playfully & confidently learn the flute.
It is a joy to guide students towards an ever increasing sense of musical fluency
Each lesson teaches students how to improve their technique — often resulting in increased enjoyment and less struggle. My top priority is to guide students towards a fluent understanding of music interpretation and instrumental technique​​​
​​
I work with students of all ages, abilities, and levels:
k-12, adults and professionals are all welcome
​
Alexander Technique lessons for instrumentalists are offered, as well!
​
One-on-One lessons are taught in several locations and formats:
​
