Andrei Gorchov Flute Teacher

Specialties

I have been teaching flute lessons in Marin County since 2001. I teach at the Magic Flute music store in Terra Linda and also at my Studio in Corte Madera. Lessons are $ 35 for half hour and $ 70 for an hour. I’ve taught students as young as age 7 up to middle school, high school, college level and adult. During the lessons, students will develop skills on the flute including acquiring a beautiful tone, proper hand position, varied articulation, breath control, and dynamic ability. We also cover a wide range of flute repertoire, mainly from the classical repertoire where I was trained, but I’ve also taught kids pop, rock, and folk music if there is a strong interest there. Students will also develop strong skills of reading music, developing good rhythm, and become familiar with a broad range of stylistic performance elements. There are opportunities to perform in at least two recitals a year if desired.

Andrei G.

Business Owner

I have a great love for music education. It was of utmost importance to me as a child and I couldn’t ask for anything better than to pass that along to future generations of musicians. I have as good a time in my lessons as all of my students do and I get great satisfaction from seeing people do well. I am good at teaching a wide range of learning types and sensitive to the needs of individual students. I don’t have one specific method, as I feel it is important to adapt my teaching style to best fit the needs and demands of each student. In addition to teaching the flute, I am a widespread music educator in Marin. I currently am on the faculty at the San Domenico School Conservatory and teach the woodwind class. I am also the associate conductor and manager of the Marin Symphony Youth Orchestra. I have also taught adjunct music classes at Redwood High School. I received my B. M in Flute performance from San Francisco State Univ. and studied conducting at Tanglewood with Michael Morgan.
