The Akilah Kidd Studio
About
Born into a family with a passion for education, I naturally developed that same passion at an early age. My primary focus in teaching is to help students develop an insatiable love for music. All other educational objectives come easily once the passion is there! Although I've been teaching private flute lessons informally for about 15 years, I formed my private studio in 2010. After graduating with my Bachelor of Music degree (University of Alabama) and my Master of Music degree (University of Michigan), I began teaching in higher education. I've served on the music faculties of The University of Montevallo, Alabama State University, and Huntingdon College. If you would like to know more, I'd love to have you as a guest at www.akilahkidd.com!
