The Studio:
Dr. LePage will be joining the faculty of the University of Wisconsin, Whitewater as their Assistant Professor of Flute starting Fall, 2025! More updates to come soon.
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)
