“Amanda is an outstanding flute teacher. I have studied with her for seven years, and she has brought me up from an absolute beginner to playing at an advanced high school level. She is super knowledgeable and knows exactly how to help any flute player make significant progress. Amanda supported me through every stage of my musical journey, from excelling in band class to preparing for region and orchestra auditions. Most of all, she is incredibly kind and encouraging, and I look forward to my lessons every week. She helped me discover my passion for music, something that will stay with me for life.”

“Taking lessons with Ms. Galick has been the best decision I’ve made for the improvement of my playing. When I noticed I wasn’t improving as fast as I would like, I started to take lessons with Ms. Galick. Immediately I noticed that she diagnosed the problems I’ve had since day one of playing the flute and we got to work. She always makes sure I completely master something before I move on. It’s always easy to talk with her and share my opinion. She is 100% a master lesson teacher!”

“I started having Ms. Galick as a private lesson teacher in the sixth grade, and now that I've graduated high school, I can say without a doubt that she is one of the best possible lessons teacher you could have. She is very kind and compassionate to her students and works well to ensure that they become the best musician that they can be. Any student would be lucky to have her as their teacher.”

“I had private lessons with Ms. Galick for 5 years, and during that time she helped me to make region band multiple times and learn all of the challenging music that region, marching, and concert band provided while organizing opportunities to practice with other students outside of school as well, and simultaneously making lessons a fun and friendly experience each week.”

“Ms. Galick is a great flute teacher! I am beginning my 4th year of private lessons and I chose to continue my lessons with her even after enrolling in a new school. She has helped me improve my technique and playing ability and picks music that provides a challenge without discouraging me. Ms. Galick’s musical knowledge and talent makes her someone you can learn a lot from. I enjoy seeing her every week and look forward to continuing lessons throughout high school!”

“Amanda is an excellent teacher, and my flute abilities have improved greatly with her help. She is very friendly, funny, and understanding. I appreciate the flexibility and variety in our lessons between practicing solos, Texas region audition etudes, technique exercises and etudes, and sight reading duets. I am currently beginning my second year as flute section leader at my high school, and part of my responsibility is to help the other flutists learn the performance music and generally improve their flute playing. I frequently use teaching methods that Amanda taught me with, and I love to see my section-mates improve. I highly recommend learning from Amanda!”
