Private, Personalized Lessons

Instruction includes all styles and skill levels with an emphasis on improvisation, rhythmic concepts and theory

I believe that anyone who loves music can learn to play an instrument

I have had a wide variety of students over the years , the youngest being 6 years old and the oldest, 82 years young.  Many of my students are from middle to high school while many are adults. Some have always wanted to play; others  used to play and now want to rekindle their passion.

Testimonials

“Fay weaves musicianship and theory into lessons seamlessly such that one is always remembering while practicing, rehearsing, playing a gig or recording, an aspect of technique or general musicianship that came from a lesson with Fay. ”

Fay Roberts is an outstanding woodwind teacher – flute, sax, clarinet and master player.  Beyond the individual instruments, Fay weaves musicianship and theory into lessons seamlessly such that one is always remembering while practicing, rehearsing, playing a gig or recording, an aspect of technique or general musicianship that came from a lesson with Fay.

Fay is an absolutely incredible teacher. She’s encouraging but also very challenging and, at the same time, makes you feel very comfortable. She’s also very professional and knows music, instruments and music theory on a professional level. I would highly recommend Fay for any level of musical skill (as well as any age.)

She brings patience, musicianship and a playful sense of humor to each lesson. She doesn’t just teach notes but really shows the student how musical concepts and theory fit together.

Fay is not only a wonderful music teacher; she is one of the most inspirational educators with whom I have ever had the pleasure to study.

Fay is a fantastic teacher. She is very patient and encouraging, and really makes me want to practice all the time.  Her skills and knowledge are top notch – and she is very adaptable to your preferred style of music.

Fay is an outstanding teacher! Her assignments are engaging and challenging and she offers lots of encouragement. I always look forward to my lessons. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to learn music!
