Eva Skanse

Hi, I’m Eva. I teach lessons in flute, traverso (baroque flute), and Irish 8-key flute.

My students have regularly placed in youth orchestras, all-state ensembles, honor bands, and have recieved distinguished rankings at solo and ensemble competitions. I have had many students participate in national competitions (Ohio Flute Association, Kentucky Flute Society, Upper Midwest Flute Association, South Carolina Flute Society, National Flute Association Junior Artist, etc). My students have gone on to some of the finest conservatories in the country including Boston Conservatory and the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music.

I also teach a number of adult amateur flutists who regularly play with community ensembles and give recitals.

My goal is not to create carbon copies of my own playing style, but to provide the tools—technical, intellectual, and emotional—that allow each student to discover their own unique voice. By fostering a supportive and rigorous environment, I aim to cultivate musicians who are not only technically adept but are also thoughtful, empathetic, and resilient artists.

My degrees:
2019 Bachelor of Music, Flute Performance – Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music
2021 Master of Music, Flute Performance – Longy School of Music, Bard College
2022 Master of Music, Historical Performance (baroque flute)– Longy School of Music, Bard College
