Everyone knows that if you want to get really good at anything then you need a mentor or coach. Phil Mickelson has Butch Harmon, Venus and Serena have their dad Richard and the Karate Kid had Mr Miyagi. If you are a flute player then there is probably no greater coach alive today than Jeffrey Khaner. As flute professor at Curtis Institute of Music and Lynn University’s Conservatory of Music he is widely considered as the world's best flute teacher. But there is a problem....
It's easier to get into Harvard than Curtis and so you chances of getting to study with Khaner were infinitesimally small. However that's all changed now with the introduction of a new online flute school with Jeffrey Khaner. You can now get access to hundreds of Khaner's video flute lessons but more importantly you can receive personalized one-on-one feedback from the great man himself and all for less than $100 a month. To check out the sample lessons go to www.artistworks.com
In the meantime here are a list of just some of the lessons you'll find there.
