About Val

Val tailors your learning experience to your goals. Are you playing just for fun? Are you aiming for first chair? Goals can change over the years, but lessons should always be a source of pleasure. Val teaches year-round, and students are accepted at any time of the year.

“Val has been my flute teacher for over ten years – I started with her when I was in seventh grade, and now play in her adult ensemble. While she has many fantastic traits as a teacher, perhaps the most impressive is her ability to pick up on the subtle strengths of each of her students that really allow them to stand out as musicians.” — Carly Hines, student
