Private Lessons

For the flutist participating in small ensembles, coaching provides positive feedback to encourage musical growth and ensemble playing skills. I can work with any combination of instruments as the focus will be on style, performance etiquette, communication, intonation, nuance and finer details of playing with others.

Ensemble Coaching

Masterclasses can be taught in two formats:

To the flute section: discussion and demonstration of proper support, intonation, and other general subjects

To the soloists: coaching with an audience on a particular repertoire work. Intended to improve the players overall performance of the music musically, mechanically and technically.

“Rebecca Jeffreys is a great tutor and flutist. She has taught me musical theory and history, how to perfect my flute tone and many great classical pieces. My most valuable musical experiences are organized or developed by Rebecca. These experiences include attending a flute music workshop, visiting the Nagahara flute Makers, participating in performances and recitals and preparing for Central District auditions which I have won.”
