They all possess the most important basic fundamentals of good flute playing including a beautifully developed sound. They also share a wonderful combination of passion and discipline in their approach to their study. Her students are fortunate to have the guidance of such an expert teacher!”

“Judy Grant’s studio is consistently among the strongest in the US. Her high school students are being accepted to all the top universities and conservatories nationwide. Indeed, schools are competing to attract them rather than the other way around! There is no substitute for excellent training and information.”
