Individual lessons for flutists: improve your technique, posture, and well-being

If you’re looking to improve your posture, overcome anxiety, relieve pain or discomfort related to practice, or deepen your technique with a renewed approach, this is the right place!

Main topics we work on in class:

Efficient posture for playing the flute, both sitting and standing.
Warm-up, cool-down, and stretching techniques to prevent pain and injuries.
How to manage anxiety, both during practice and in live performances.
Strategies to reduce unnecessary tension in the hands and embouchure.
Practices to improve breathing capacity and efficiency, supporting air flow continuity.
Effective strategies for tackling challenging passages, focusing on coordination and movement precision.

Here’s how I can help you:

By exploring tools from the Alexander Technique and Mindfulness, I’ll guide you in developing a healthy and efficient musical practice. These tools will help you gain greater awareness and decision-making over the thoughts and movements that may be limiting your musical performance, helping you prevent tension, improve posture, and reduce the negative effects of anxiety and stress.

With these lessons, you will be able to:

Strengthen your confidence in your technical and musical abilities.
Manage anxiety and stress, both during practice and in live performances.
Overcome pain and prevent injuries associated with posture and repetitive movements.
Learn to design personalized warm-up, rest, and stretching routines.
Develop a daily practice that allows you to enjoy more while reaching your goals.
Learn relaxation techniques to face the emotional challenges of our profession.
Improve your breathing capacity for optimal performance.
Understand the fundamentals of healthy posture for playing the flute.
Organize your practice time efficiently, without compromising your well-being.

With my approach, you’ll enjoy playing the flute while taking care of your body and mind, creating a balanced, mindful, and sustainable musical practice. I’ll accompany you on the path of improving your technique, reducing tension, and achieving holistic well-being in your musical practice.

How we’ll achieve it

Managing anxiety and stress

We’ll work with specific practices that help calm your nervous system before, during, and after your practice.

You’ll develop the ability to closely observe the muscular tension you generate while playing, allowing you to consciously decide how much force you really need at each moment of your practice.

Somatic re-education

To achieve efficient and coordinated movement, it’s essential to understand how your body is structured and how it functions.

In class, we cover basic concepts of functional anatomy, as well as simple topics in neuroscience and biomechanics, focusing on the nervous, muscular, and respiratory systems.

Understanding habits

The tools of the Alexander Technique will help you observe your habits and develop the ability to let them go when you no longer need them. We will also explore what is considered “correct posture.”

This work will allow you to reduce effort and muscular tension, improving your coordination, precision, smoothness, and freedom of movement, while also helping to resolve discomfort and pain related to practice.

Listening and conscious repertoire choice

Do you truly enjoy the music you play?

Conscious repertoire selection, often overlooked, plays a key role in my approach to the instrument. With this work, you’ll learn to choose the repertoire that suits you, based on mindful listening and transcription of music you love, regardless of the musical style you play.

Mindful practice organization

Consciously organizing your daily practice is essential to overcome challenges such as anxiety and excessive effort or tension.

In this part of the work, you’ll learn:

Block study strategies
Warm-up, cool-down, stretching, and active rest strategies, adapted to your specific needs at each moment of practice (warming up for an audition is not the same as preparing for daily practice).

Bringing it all together

As a musician, I know how important it is to have practical tools you can apply while playing. That’s why in every class we apply everything we’ve learned directly to your instrument and repertoire. My goal is not to add more things for you to study or take time from where you don’t have it. Everything we work on is extremely simple and can be applied from our very first session.

Thanks to the lessons, I have more confidence in my musical knowledge and skills. I’ve gained better tools to manage my emotions while playing—both positive and negative—more order and organization in my practice, greater respect for the signals my body gives me, and above all, I truly enjoy connecting with my instrument on a new level and from a fresh perspective.
