Hulsey Flute Studio

Hello, hello!

Most students I have the privilege of working with, the parents and I never meet face-to-face. Here is some information about me to help bridge that gap! 

♪ I grew up in a small, southeast Texas town and began playing recorder at age 6; my parents would drive to the nearest music shop for lessons. At 8 years old, I switched to flute, had ONE flute lesson with a new teacher which wasn't enjoyable, and ended up dropping lessons, but joined my local community band, The Invincible Eagle Band, as soon as I joined middle school band in 6th grade. Lo and behold, here I am my senior year of high school looking for a music program to join after turning down culinary school. Luckily, McNeese State University in Lake Charles, LA was looking for flute majors and they had scholarships to offer, so off I went to Louisiana for five years! During my time at McNeese, I realized exactly what I wanted to do for a career: be the teacher for others that I wish I had while growing up!

Below is a list of career highlights and experiences:
