The Studio:
Dr. LePage takes a limited number of serious students to study with him outside of his studio at the University of Wisconsin, Whitewater each year.
Anyone considering applying to study with Dr. L at UW-W should reach out via the "contact" tab or send an email to [email protected] to inquire about a free recruitment lesson!
Middle and High School students looking to participate in local Youth Orchestra or Honors Band programs or who consistently participate in competitions, solo & ensemble, etc will be considered and are encouraged to reach out about rates and studio openings.
Adult students of all ages, levels, and abilities are also more than welcome to reach out! Brandon would love to help you achieve your musical and flutistic goals as scheduling and studio openings allow.
About the studio:
Dr. LePage is Assistant Professor of Flute at the University of Wisconsin, Whitewater. Formerly he was Lecturer of Flute at Oakland University in Rochester Michigan, and Instructor of Flute at the Flint School of Performing Arts. Brandon's teaching style combines all aspects of musical learning from theory and history to instrument specific techniques. His goal with each student is to make sure that they have a well rounded musical education that will allow them to move forward into any musical field they wish to conquer while also instilling life skills that can be used beyond music in the student's everyday life.
High School Students - Students at this age and level begin to set long term educational goals. While some choose to study music as a career, others will view music as an enjoyable supplement to their academic pursuits. Instruction with this age group is interactive, allowing students to direct some lesson content while maintaining achievable expectations. Advanced technique, musical interpretation, and musical analysis are the main focus of lesson content.
(Suggested lesson length - 60 min)
**Adult Students also accepted and follow the guidelines for High School students with more flexibility and self-guided lessons/goals.
