Diane Grubbe

My students learn solid flute technique and basic music theory while having fun learning to play the music they like, whether it's the classical repertoire, popular favorites or contemporary extended technique. Students also get the chance to meet and perform with other flutists, both in my studio and through events that I host in the community, such as student recitals and flute caroling during the holiday season. My students have been accepted to competitive high school and university level music programs including San Francisco's School of the Arts and San Francisco State University.
