Private Lessons

A private lesson offers more than just a chance for learning to play the flute. It is an opportunity for mentorship, forming connection, and building a lifelong relationship between teacher and student. I work with flutists at all stages and ages of musicianship. I am on the faculty at Seminole State College of Florida, and teach privately in Orlando, FL or virtually.

Testimonials

  • "I had been taking private lessons years prior to meeting Emma, and wow, I had no idea what I was missing in my other lessons until I switched to Emma. I wouldn’t have gotten in to my university without Emma’s help and coaching."

    -Kylie Z.
    flute student

  • "We have been with Emma Koi for two years and my daughter simply loves learning flute from her. Emma is very patient and her attention to detail has had a huge impact on her. She is more confident in taking on challenging repertoire. "

    -Rajani K.
    flute parent

  • "When working with Mrs. Koi, I was able to constantly improve my playing. She taught me techniques to make playing easier, drastically improved my tone, and made me see music through a lens that made playing more musical, rather than just looking at notes on a page."

    -Abhinay R.
    flute student

  • “I have some health limitations which make going to a group yoga class difficult. When I started [private] yoga with Emma, I physically couldn't do much, but by the time we finished sessions, I was strong enough to be able to attend a regular group yoga class!”

    -Desiree K.
    yoga student

  • "Emma is the perfect flute teacher for me. She can creatively problem-solve some of my issues as an older player (60's) getting back into lessons."

    -Lisa D.
    flute student

  • "Emma has helped my daughter to grow as a flutist as well as a better person over last 3 years. She has been great influence and is a very dedicated and talented teacher."

    -Teja S.
    flute parent

  • “I did yoga with Emma during a time in my life where I was physically and mentally at a low point. The yoga sessions, paired with Emma's caring and calm demeanor assisted in helping my body and mind recover.”

    -Desiree K.

  • "Our son has been studying with Mrs. Koi for a little over two years, which have seen him progress from a brand new flutist to having the confidence to audition (and be invited) for the local youth Symphony Orchestra within the first year."
