“I began taking in-person lessons with Julie when I was in seventh grade and continued to take them virtually through the pandemic and through my time in high school. My time learning from Julie was invaluable given her extensive experience, her attention to detail, and her vast knowledge of a variety of musical styles. She is a wonderfully creative educator, who excels in communicating and adapting to different students’ needs and learning styles. Her dedication to clean fundamentals, excellent technique, and strong musicality makes for a nurturing environment that has the capacity to develop a flutist into a prepared, well-rounded musician. My time studying with Julie has made it possible for me to continue pursuing flute performance at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music.”

“Aos anos 15 anos de idade eu participei do meu primeiro festival international de música no Rio de Janeiro e minha primeira professora foi Julie Koidin. Eu fiquei completamente hipnotizado pelas suas habilidades pedagógicas e performáticas. Ao ponto que ela continuou sendo minha professora durante 10 anos, hoje em dia eu guardo todos os ensinamenentos que pude herdar de Julie e sou professor de flauta de um conservatório de Paris”

“When I was 15 years old I participated in my first international music festival in Rio de Janeiro, and my first teacher was Julie Koidin. I was completely mesmerized by her pedagogical and performance abilities. As she continued to be my teacher over ten year, today I keep all of the teachings I inherited from Julie, and I am now a flute teacher at a music conservatory in Paris.”
