Brian Moore
About
Brian Moore, a flutist from Pittsburgh. At a young age, Brian studied with Bernard Goldberg (Principal Flutist with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and student of Marcel Moyse) and Martin Lerner, Associate Principal Flutist with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. Brian received a solid foundation in the French style of flute playing. He also learned music theory and pedagogy while studying music at the University of Pittsburgh.
Furthermore, Brian has played as Principal, Associate Principal or Soloist with orchestras in Pennsylvania, including the Pittsburgh Chamber Orchestra, Pittsburgh Youth Symphony and Pennsylvania Youth Symphony.
Teaching Style
I like to provide students with a basic foundation to find their own style and identity on the instrument and within in the genre which they would like to focus. I am laid back and motivating rather than intimidating. There is often more than one right way to do things and it is my job to help the student find the right way that is best for them.
Curriculum
I use one or a combination of two different curricula. One is a more traditional approach based on practice works of the French school - the studies of Tafanel, Gaubert, Andersen and Moyse with the classical and baroque repertory. The other is more modern studies by Trevor Wye, Rubank, etc. with contemporary repertory.
