About Tori

Tori Lupinek’s warm, enveloping sound and personality have made their way south to Houston by way of Alaska and Chicagoland. In her aim to be a versatile musician, Tori has found herself in university-level teaching positions, backstage as a production assistant, buried in music as a librarian, and as president of music student social groups. Her performances vary from symphony orchestras and wind bands, to new music ensembles and woodwind quintets. As a musician, Tori believes that “classical” music is for everyone and has the capacity to work wonders on open hearts. In flute lessons, she uses music as a conduit to instill deeper intellectual awareness in her students. Tori takes a fundamentally human approach to every aspect of her varied career as a musician by appealing to the individual, and allowing beauty to grow from there.

I am very happy to be able to offer both in-person lessons in the Houston area, in addition to video chat lessons! I have years of experience working with beginning middle school students, advancing high schoolers, college undergraduate players, and adult beginners. If you love your flute, there is a place for you in my studio!

I believe that each and every student benefits from private music lessons. At the most basic level, private lessons allow students to have a one-on-one relationship with an adult outside of the formalities of a classroom setting. It is important to me that my students understand that flute lessons are a safe space in a world spinning faster by the day. I teach students to engage and question, and I encourage self-discovery. In lessons, we have fun, we learn, we make music. Oh, and we learn how to play the flute too!

I am specialized in audition preparation and I incorporate body awareness techniques into my teaching. I have years of audition preparation experience, and body awareness has helped me personally. I enjoy passing this unique information onto my students because no one helped me with it when I was their age!

I started teaching when I was in high school, when neighborhood beginner flutists started coming to me for tips and advice. My first experience teaching lessons was as a senior working with beginners. That was a challenge!

About the lesson

Our first lesson is usually a get-to-know-you lesson. We have a laid back conversation about our hobbies and interests. I always ask students if there is a specific area of their playing that they need help with. We also establish a realistic practice schedule. After our first lesson, I have a tried-and-true method to develop beautiful tone and memorize fingerings. This process usually takes about one school year. Students have to understand that learning takes time. They aren't going to become a rockstar overniight, but they will be good musicians when I'm done with them!

99% of the time, you get what you pay for! Find a teacher with at least one degree in either music education with a flute performance minor, or flute performance. On the other side of that coin, you will pay a very pretty penny for lessons with world-class performers, but not everyone knows how to teach well. Some teachers are more strict and really push students to perform well, and others conduct lessons in a more relaxed style. It is important to find someone who can cater to your individual learning style! That is the mark of a master teacher.

One of my 6th grade beginners understands ALL of her enharmonic equivalents!! This was very exciting and impressive for a beginner!
