Elizabeth Samse's Profile

I began studying flute as a total beginner at 19 - Elizabeth was unendingly patient and supportive.

She provided a great foundation. I now play flute at my college, and am preparing for a jazz-and-pop oriented senior recital this coming year.

For 7 years, I have been receiving lessons from Elizabeth Samse and I plan on receiving lessons until I can't anymore. During these 7 years I have tried getting lessons from other teachers, but I value Elizabeth's clear method the best. She is always willing to assist with any outside music and encourages me to enter in competitions while challenging me to do my best. Whenever I have a question, she will explain the answer to me until I completely understand. Sometimes, we spend the majority of the lesson talking, which ultimately makes me a better flutist because of my clear conception of what I am playing or where it came from. Elizabeth is also understanding of schedule changes and when I let her know of a prearranged absence, we schedule a make-up right away! Very efficient and committed to her teaching, I am happy to be taking lessons from her.
