Monaco Music Studio
Hello there!
Welcome to my little corner of cyberspace! I'm glad you're here!
I believe music can change the life of a child.
Dozens upon dozens of studies have confirmed that practicing an instrument teaches diligence, discipline, and delayed gratification.
*
Cultivating a skill over time, little by little, year by year, eventually yields the reward of proficiency and expertise.
*
Playing and rehearsing with an instructor and in small groups teaches teamwork, watching, listening, and effective communication.
*
Performing in front of friends and family breeds poise and confidence that flows into academics, extracurricular activities, sports, and even career skills.
*
Exposure to the beauty of the arts develops empathy, emotional maturity, and an appreciation for other individuals, eras, and cultures.

My name is Marcie Monaco.
I'm a flutist and instructor near O'Fallon, Illinois,
just a few minutes north of the main gate at
Scott Air Force Base, east of St. Louis.
I offer private flute lessons and piano lessons to students
ages 5-adult in O'Fallon/Lebanon and Edwardsville.

- Do you have a child who is musically gifted and could do some spectacular things with the right coaching?
- Is your flutist struggling with reading music, airy tone, or bad posture (it happens to the best of us!)?
- Do you have a young child who exudes creativity and you know she would thrive in the arts, even if you've been told she's too young for formal lessons?
- Would your musician like to be more competitive and have the chance to win first chair in band and compete in local, regional, and national competitions?
- Would your student like extra help to prepare their contest pieces or audition materials from someone who has "been there and done that?"
- Do you have a child with ADHD or autism that you think would succeed musically if placed in the right environment?
-
Are you an adult who is thinking of beginning a new hobby or returning to music after a long hiatus?
Come on over! I saved a spot for you!
