Teacher

I LOVE TO TEACH!!

Whether I’m in your town or mine, I’m available for lessons and master classes, in person or online. 

Private Lessons: 

  • Repertoire and technique from Baroque to contemporary
  • Practice and performance tips, plus insights I’ve collected over the years from my own master teachers…

…from Darlene Dugan in high school and college to Alex Murray, Peter Lloyd, Julius Baker and Marcel Moyse in graduate school and beyond, as well as from flutists such as Geoffrey Gilbert or Thomas Nyfenger for whom I played in their master classes.

Camilla has been really generous with me. She helped me to enter another level of subtlety in flute playing and each of her lessons also gave me an important and precious space to talk and express myself.” – Clèmence Manachère – flute, soprano saxophone, composition

Camilla is very thorough in her teaching and guides you through strategies and skills to ensure that you feel confident and deliberate with every single note. I go back to the practice room brimming with enthusiasm…”Phoebe Bognar – performer, flutist, composer
