Caroline Reutter Flute Instructor

Caroline has been a great friend for many years. She is a great flute instructor, who has taught many of our friends children how to play an instrument. I grew up across the street listening to her practice. I would reccomend her skills to any family who wants to introduce their children to the flute. She is friendly, and has a great personality. Kids love her.

I have two young adults that have taken flute from Caroline since they were 8. My older son is independent, bold and distractible and he loved taking flute with her. My younger daughter is self motivated, studies hard and is easy going and she loved taking flute with Caroline. I was so impressed that Caroline could find a way to nurture the love of music in two such different children. My daughter still is taking lessons at the age of 17, and I am sure will continue into college. Additionally, she has taught herself two more instruments, I do not think she would have done so without the grounding in music that Caroline imparted. Sadly my youngest chose Trombone, and has dropped it already. Too bad there is no trombone teacher as good as Caroline is on flute!

Ask any musician, and they will tell you that making the choice to invest in a private music instructor is a critical step in growth and development – no matter the individual’s age or experience level. When you’re devoting time and energy into bettering yourself, you want to know that you’re learning from a friendly, accessible, and most of all qualified, teacher. Caroline Reutter is all of these things and much more.
I have been lucky enough to have known Caroline for the past 10 years, and have been her student for 7. I began my lessons with her when I was a mere 6^th grader, and continued with her through my senior year of high school. Caroline never failed to challenge me in the pieces she assigned, never failed to help me prepare to my very best ability for auditions or school concerts, and never failed to give her honest and helpful critique and advice to help me advance as a flutist. I can quite honestly say I could not have held my principal position in my high school ensembles had it not been for her help and guidance.
One thing that sets Caroline a part from other private instructors is the recital she holds for all her different students at the end of each school year. Everyone gets together in great spirits, and enjoys music from each student at a variety of experience levels. It always turns out to be a great afternoon of excitement and nerves (for some younger students, they’ve never performed on their own… another great skill to acquire and fear to overcome!), as well as music enjoyed by all. I know personally my mother and father still attend the recitals, even after my going away to college!
To anyone looking for a private flute instructor, I would recommend highly, wholeheartedly, and very enthusiastically to learn from this amazing woman. So whether you’re a beginner, intermediate, or advanced, young or old, Caroline never fails to provide the very best resources and set the highest expectations for her students.

As a parent of a 9 year old beginning flute player, I was apprehensive in reaching out for a private tutor for my son. On a whim, at a fund raiser at my school, I won a bit for 2 private flute lessons with Caroline and we were NOT disappointed. After the 2 lessons, we did not return for several months but Caroline reached out to us and asked if we would like to continue and we decided to move forward– the best decision we made! Although we only have been talking lessons for less that 2 months, I can see that my son truly enjoys working with her and so does Caroline! I look forward to building a long lasting music relationship with Caroline and I cannot wait to see what she will bring out in my son. I love her energy and passion! And so glad we found her!

Caroline has made such a positive impression on me and my daughter in the short time we’ve worked with her. My 7^th grade daughter recently began taking flute lessons with Caroline and after the first lesson, my daughter came home eager and motivated to practice the flute. When I asked her how she would describe Caroline she said she was friendly, encouraging, and has taught her so much in the brief time she’s been with her.
Caroline is so skilled as a teacher and musician. She is extremely patient and in my case, understands the mind of a shy (especially with adults) adolescent. Caroline provides many tips and techniques to improve and inspires my daughter and myself when she plays to demonstrate. It’s very exciting to see my daughter enjoy her lessons and enjoy playing on her own.

I am writing as a parent of a student who studied with Caroline from 5^th grade through high school. I whole heartedly endorse her as an amazing flute teacher, part of the «support team» that nearly every teen could use, and as an all around phenomenal person. Apparent from the start is her insatiable love of music, and her deep caring and enthusiasm for every one of her students. She truly believes that connection to music is life enhancing for everyone, and she models that principle daily. She is an artist, and as such helps each person rise to their potential through her warm demeanor, humor, sparkle and precision. Anyone who studies with her is fortunate, indeed!
