Flutist and Pianist Kristin Paxinos brings a lifetime of dedicated study and a mastery of technique, theory and musicianship to every lesson. Kristin’s conservatory training at Indiana University and DePaul University prepared her for professional performance at the highest levels: she has performed at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and Chicago"s Symphony Center with top tier orchestras such as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

Her technical and musical mastery allow Kristin to teach her students by example. She inspires her students. She nurtures her students. She demands excellence of her students.

Kristin emphasizes the basics, technique and theory, as a foundation from which to learn music. Along with the pure mechanics of sound production, she engages her students in learning to interpret the music – to make music – by learning to phrase properly, to play with good sound and to use dynamics to good effect.

Kristin has taught private and group lessons to students of all ages and playing levels: children to adults; beginners to college students. Kristin’s personal enthusiasm and love for the music motivate her students.

And Kristin knows all the notes.
