Molly prides herself on being patient, accommodating and finding ways to create curious and motivated learners through unlocking each student's own individual learning styles.
Molly is currently working towards her Honours qualification at the University of Melbourne having already completed her Bachelor of Music majoring in flute performance.
Her approach to flute teaching focuses on building a strong technical foundation from the beginning, with an emphasis on ensuring her students have confidence in their ability to improve their tone quality, musicality and technical proficiency, but most importantly an awareness of how their body and mind (including posture, breathing and positive affirmations) can transform their development as a musician.
