About the studio
A studio shaped around the student.
The Studio
One-to-one, shaped to the student.
Royal Flute Studio is a 1:1 private flute studio located two blocks from Santana Row, Santa Clara, CA. Open to teaching students of all levels and ages — our youngest student is seven.
The studio holds two recitals each year, and every student is given a performance opportunity. Lesson frequency is customisable to each student’s pace, and a strong personalised music profile is built for each one.
“Every student possesses distinct qualities and talents, and I am dedicated to recognising and nurturing these traits throughout your music journey.”
