Maya Johnson's Teaching Statement: As a musician and teacher, I primarily view music as one means of artistic self-expression. In my student’s journey of self-expression, I will help them to learn m... usic history, music theory, and different musical cultures which can influence their perspective on the world around them, as well as how they see themselves. Through music I teach self-discipline, patience, and good practice methods while learning the flute. In my studio, I teach varieties of the flute repertoire while encouraging students to find a piece, no matter what style or genre, they would like to learn each quarter. Each lesson is tailored towards each individual student’s pace and modality they will best benefit from. From my teaching, I want students to get the most out of the experience of learning the flute while being a facilitator of self-expression and individuality.read more
