Taylor is a master teacher, with much experience both overseas in London and here in the United States. His teaching style is detail oriented, yet patient and good humored.

My personal experience with the Studio has been outstanding. I received one-to-one assistance from Owner/Music Director, Taylor Irelan, as I worked through my needs and priorities in a comfortable and private setting. The selection of flutes and piccolos from which I could choose gave me the time and opportunity to find just what I sought. In addition, the Studio handled the consignment and subsequent successful sale of my former flute. The website description of the Studio indicates that, when you walk in, you become part of their family; I agree!

Carlton offers a wonderful personal experience. In Lakeland, Julie (3rd gen Carlton) is there to keep the family name and reputation high, and Joe Gavin, the best acoustic player in Lakeland, oversees the day-to-day operation. The repair department, unheard of in the big-box world, can do just about anything. Joe is the only one I trust with my touring instruments (This includes composite acoustic instruments).
