Ginevra’s online flute studio

A 6-month Full Mentoring Program providing a comprehensive private online lesson experience as well as a broad hands-on training tailored to reach every individual student’s goals - young professional, beginner or adult amateur!

INCLUDES:

Hello! I’m Dr. Ginevra Petrucci.

I am a solo performer, new music advocate and pedagogue. After my studies in my native Italy, I studied in Paris and finally I landed in the USA, where I studied at Yale and Stony Brook Universities. I have had the privilege of performing with many internationally renown artists throughout Europe, the US, and the Far East, and I have released over 20 solo albums (check out my Bio and Media tabs for more info!)

how can we benefit from a new model?

I have been working with students of all ages and levels for over 10 years, and I have come to the realization that the traditional format of weekly 60-minute lessons is not comprehensive enough to provide the support and tools that students need to find success in the professional world, or even just a sense of wholesome satisfaction in their effort - whether they are young professionals, beginners, or adults who want to rediscover music.

With the traditional system, I found myself wanting to expand the conversation with the student beyond the 60 weekly minutes, in order to offer technical, stylistic, or historical insight, to help establish a practice routine to train for audition prep, to suggest recording equipment setups or mindful practices, to open doors to find and join a community.

ENVISION AND EVOLVE

My new mentoring program offers materials, workshops, coaching sessions and performing opportunities that expand well over the weekly hour: in my studio you will have access to my exclusively curated Practice Guides video library; to your own folder of scores, articles, recordings and links complementing our current work; to monthly workshops with international guest professors, speakers, and coaches who will inspire you on a broad spectrum of topics (from flute repertoire to yoga for musicians, and much more!); to Topic of the Month video lectures with me, to delve deeper into specific subjects; to Studio Classes where you will have the informal opportunity to try out your current repertoire in front of your peers and get feedback - and all of this in a model formulated to not add stress, obligations, or additional deadlines to your already busy schedule!

Envision and Evolve: these are the key elements to creating a successful learning journey. We will plan your path, and establish the steps to achieve your goals. There is much more than instrumental learning in this system, and you will find yourself greatly enriched in life as well!

focus on how to be a musician

Your experience will be defined by a wider understanding of music making, and not confined to your weekly lesson hour. It is an opportunity to truly become one with your instrument and expand your musical horizons while also receiving hands-on practical training on how to be a musician - whether you need to learn how to approach a professional career, or you want to figure out what place music takes in your life and in the fulfillment of your goals.

My decade-long international teaching experience at the high school and college level, both at music schools and festivals, has given me the satisfaction of seeing many of my students going on to attend prestigious institutions in the US and Europe; I have brought young flutists from their very first note to successful school admissions, as well as helped (re)ignite the love for music in many adults who decided to start something new or to get back to the flute after having stopped for many years.

In each of these cases, I have strived to identify their goals and worked a plan together to reach it: I am excited to start offering my students a new, goal-oriented, fruitful and enjoyable mentoring program that focuses on results and sense of purpose!

​

The program aims at setting personal goals and achieving results through a personalized intensive 1:1 guidance, the contextualization of musical practice, and the exposure to inspiring stimulation geared toward growth and development

My teaching methods and studio structure will help you:

• Create and sustain a technical foundation and obtain tangible results.

• Establish a practice routine and incorporate healthy habits.

• Own your musical voice, and become confident in your skills.

• Prepare musically and mentally for auditions, competitions and performances.

• Incorporate music learning into your broader life experience.

• Envision your goals and work on a concrete path to reach them.

HOLD ON! WHAT IF THIS FEELS LIKE TOO MUCH FOR ME TO TAKE ON RIGHT NOW?

First of all, don’t panic! The Complete Mentoring Program is designed in a way that creates sense of purpose, commitment, and solid learning without overworking your schedule. What changes is the way you will employ your time, by varying and enriching what you are exposed to: the hours you will devote to music on a weekly basis will be as many or as few as your schedule allows and your goals require (no homework or assignments - just practice and inspiration!)

However, if you feel like this kind of commitment is too much to take on right now…

I have the solution for you!
