Teaching Philosophy

Flutist Anthea Kechley endeavors to give students the experience of enrichment through music, as well as tools that can be transferred into other areas of their lives. She firmly believes that quality music instruction is for everyone, regardless of background or means. Her approach encourages student growth, confidence, problem solving skills, and self-awareness. Equally important is to instill a lasting appreciation for music and art

Teaching Biography

She has since held faculty positions at Miami Arts Charter School, Miami Music Project, and the Harmony Program in New York City, the latter two based on Venezuela’s widespread El Sistema. Ms. Kechley studied the Suzuki method as both a student and later as a teacher under the tutelage of her mother, Jerilee Kechley.
