My 12-year old daughter has been taking flute lessons with Mr. Basker for about two years. Previously, my daughter played piano for 6 years before switching to flute. Mr. Basker is not only a dedicated, talented musician, but also a great teacher. He is so friendly, kind and easy to work with. He is very attentive and passionate about helping students to reach their goals. He always goes the extra mile to help out with my daughter to prepare for Certificate of Merit and auditions for youth orchestras. When he teaches, he focuses on tone, technique, basic music theory, developing strong practice habits, and musicality. It is rare to find a teacher who is so caring, instills the love of music in a child, and inspires them to do better. I highly recommend Mr. Basker to anyone who is looking for a flute teacher! read more
