If there is a better jazz flutist (flautist?), hell flute player in Wisconsin, hell, the Midwest, lead me to him. Like reed legend Joe Aaron, like son, Rick Aaron is a peerless music maker and civic treasure.

The music Rick provided at my wedding could not have been better. His music reached all ages and hearts.
So many guests complimented us on the music. We will definitely hire Rick again for future parties.

Rick Aaron’s engaging spirit with audiences is winning enough, but the fact that this is merely a warm-up act to his agile, lyrical, and inventive flute playing always rewards listeners with an experience of virtuosic surprise.

Talented in both jazz and classical idioms, Rick Aaron is a professional with a friendly style that captivates everyone. He’s as comfortable playing jazz or klezmer as he is playing Mozart or Jacques Brel.

During the more than 5 years that I studied with Mr. Aaron, not only did I learn a lot about playing the flute, but he helped me experience the joy of making music. I highly recommend him as a teacher.

If there is one thing I want for my students, it is to experience the joy of playing the flute and the joy of making music. After playing the flute for over 50 years, I continue to experience both of these.
That experience can only come with dedication, discipline, enthusiasm, and patience. Regular practice is absolutely necessary. There are no short cuts, no quick fixes. You need to practice!

TECHNIQUE: Learning the correct fingerings and reading musical notation is only the beginning. Technique is the vehicle of ultimately playing musically. It can take a lot of time. You have to practice slowly.

ENSEMBLE PLAYING: I regularly play duets with my students, and encourage them to get involved in various ensemble groups at school. Playing with other musicians is an experience on many levels; You are all working at making something beautiful, and you have just one part in achieving that.

Repertoire – It is important for students to learn a variety of pieces from the classical flute repertoire. I make sure that each student becomes familiar with music from different time periods, composers, and styles. Advanced students also learn orchestral excerpt repertoire.
