What colleagues are saying about Dr. Winton’s teaching….

“She proved herself to be a thoughtful and dedicated teacher, and the results

of her teaching were excellent. She also created a campus-wide

flute choir that had excellent performances, allowing her students an

interesting chamber music experience. I observed her teaching, and we had

numerous discussions about teaching and pedagogy. She is an excellent

teacher, who cares deeply about her students, doing whatever is necessary

to ensure their success.”

“Dr. Winton was highly involved in the professional and musical development of all students in her studio and worked with each student in individual ways according to their needs. I had the impression that she spent a lot of time considering and planning lessons as well as the rehearsals of the flute ensemble. Her students played with conviction, musical sensitivity, and with an obvious understanding of flute technique and musical styles.”
