Jennifer Cluff Teaching
Flute lessons
& teaching:
As a private flute teacher Ms. Cluff has a busy
studio with flute students from both The Vancouver Island University's
performance program and The Nanaimo Conservatory of Music in Vancouver
Island's central district (Ladysmith, Nanaimo, Parksville, Qualicum)..
Jennifer's former students have successfully continued their studies
at major universities in Flute Performance programs, as well as in
Jazz and Composition programs. She also very much enjoys working with
amateur adult flute players as well as teens and dedicated beginners.
For flute lesson registration in the Vancouver
Island area contact the Conservatory of Music at (250) 754-4611
or get in touch with The Vancouver Island University Music Department at
Malaspina campus.
Online flute help:
Jennifer is open and friendly toward flute related inquiries from all
levels of players, and believes in sharing and co-operating when
creating music together. The most wonderful levels of musicianship can
be reached through honesty, empathy and friendliness. Maybe she was
just BORN friendly. But, her mother suggests, it could simply be that
she's always enjoyed talking and laughing a lot. :>)
However in recent flute player population
EXPLOSIONS on the internet, :>) there have been countless
"How to" questions sent that often repeat information that
is already available online or on this website.. Therefore:
If you have pressing flute-related questions,
and you wish to engage Jen for online tutoring, please first read over
the free articles offered on this site, check whether your topic has
already been covered on the 100s
of articles on Jen's webpages, and THEN ask clarifying questions of
the many helpful flute teachers at
Flutenet Yahoo Group, and then
finally, if you have thoroughly searched and still not found your
answer, only then you may contact Jen herself with remaining specific
queries: Time permitting.
For
online tutoring with Jen: Online tutoring can consist
of one MAJOR question per month by email. The reply will consist of
one hour of teaching from Jen (including technology time). Book Jen in
advance, and then send an MP3 or Youtube
video of your flute playing problem area. Optionally you can
snail-mail Jen a DVD, or CD of your playing, along with your
question(s) recorded in sound, or typed out in an accompanying letter.
This method of teaching is NOT recommended for those who are avoiding
weekly lessons with a qualified teacher. Online lessons are rarely
needed if you have sought out a quality private instructor in your
area and proceeded to study the flute in the conventional method,
where weekly progress is assisted by a teacher who can view you and
hear you in person.
Payment for one hour of tutoring can be
made by sending Jen a $60 U.S. gift certificate from www.fluteworld.com
or send a gift certificate from www.amazon.com.
Alternately you can use the Donation
button. Payment
must be received in advance of the lessons commencing.
Personal touch: Jennifer
Cluff lives with her trumpet playing partner, writer Garry McKevitt, on
a beautiful rain forest island in the Georgia Straight where on a still
day, the practicing of both instruments can be heard for at least 200
yards in any direction. Garry's
book of wonderful short stories,
entitled "Dead Reckoning", is available by clicking through to
Trafford Publishers. Enjoy all!!!
