Alison Fierst is an incredible flute teacher! She is very kind and encouraging and in each lesson, she was able to pinpoint precisely what I needed to do to improve my flute playing. Her expertise in orchestral playing and her skills as a professional flutist are clear through her teaching. I reached out to her to work on the performance component of my senior thesis, and I learned so much from her in a short time. I always left lessons feeling excited to practice and could not recommend her enough as a flute teacher!

Alison is an amazing flutist and teacher. Within a very short timeframe she was able to convey invaluable concepts relating to both technical and musical aspects. In addition to that, she is a very accessible and friendly person. I could not recommend her enough!

Along with being an amazing flutist, Alison is also an awesome teacher! I have only been studying with her for a short period of time, but with the amount I have learned, it feels like it has been much longer. She is also kind, friendly, and easy to work with!
