Amy Dohler is a private flute instructor & clinician, freelance performer & ensemble coach, solo/ensemble contest judge, and piano teacher in Vernon Hills, IL. She studied with Chicago Symphony Orchestra flutists Walfrid Kujala and Richard Graef while earning her BM in flute performance from Northwestern University, and she’s performed in masterclasses, won awards & scholarships, and held principal flute/piccolo positions with several ensembles throughout the years. Mrs. Dohler has also played piano for more than 40 years. In addition to her Bachelor of Music degree, Mrs. Dohler earned her BA in History and her MS in Education degrees from Northwestern University and has over 25 years of teaching experience, in both individual and classroom settings.
Mrs. Dohler’s students consistently audition into the highest ensembles, both in school and extracurricularly, including district and All-State ILMEA ensembles, Midwest Young Artists Conservatory ensembles, etc. Her students are routinely placed in top seating positions and chosen for solo features. Mrs. Dohler’s students regularly receive top solo/ensemble contest ratings (often perfect scores), and several of her students received superior awards &/or Shining Stars trophies with perfect scores in the Music Stars Online Competition during COVID.
Mrs. Dohler loves working with students of all ages, backgrounds, and ability levels and is thrilled to watch her students grow, develop and succeed as they work to beautify their tone, refine & improve their technique, expand their rhythmic awareness, and enhance their expressivity & musicality. Her students thrive in the positive/encouraging studio environment she fosters and develop important life skills, as well—self-confidence, self-discipline, self-evaluation & goal-setting, resilience, a desire to challenge oneself, and the ability to learn & grow from one’s struggles. Mrs. Dohler prides herself on her ability to connect with each and every one of her students while challenging them, inspiring them, and nurturing each student’s love of music. Mrs. Dohler is excited to share her musical gifts and knowledge, her teaching talents, & her love of music with her students, while pushing them to the best of their abilities.
