“Lisa Gilbert is one of the best communicators with teens I’ve seen in a long time. She meets them empathetically right where they are, and helps them get to a good grounded understanding of whatever the task is at hand, be it flute technique, ensemble playing, or connecting with each other and the community.”

-Shelley Phillips, Executive Director Emerita, Community Music School of Santa Cruz (California)

"Playing a flute is like writing a book. You're telling what's in your heart... It's easier to play if it's right from your heart." --Eddie Cahill, Irish musician This beautiful quote perfectly sums up how I feel about playing for weddings! Have had several inquiries for ceremonies lately. Am so looking forward to playing for these special days 💗🎶 #stlweddings #stlwedding #saintlouisweddings #saintlouiswedding #wedstl #bridestl #stlweddingmusic #saintlouisweddingmusic #stlwed #stlweddingstyle #weddingmusic #weddingmusician #weddingmusicians #stlengaged #theknotstl #bespokeweddings #bespokewedding #stlmusic #stlmusicscene #stlmusicians
So thankful to have been part of the Saint Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra (‘97-00). This weekend we had a reunion concert to celebrate its 50th anniversary. So many reflections have been bubbling up about how foundational the lessons I learned in the YO were. My musical path has taken a different route (and what I learned in the orchestra was part of that discernment process for me) but I remain eternally grateful for the lifelong friends I met - and the musicianship I developed by being part of something so much bigger than myself. 💗 #yo50 #slsyo #slso #musiceducation #powellhall #powellhallstl #powellsymphonyhall #powellsymphonyhallstl #thankful #flutistsofinstagram
As this year winds down, I want to share my students' virtual recital from the fall semester. There's so much to be proud of here! They worked so hard on their tracks - practicing, playing, listening, and revising. When we wrote their artist statements together, I felt like I gained another window in understanding how they're developing as young musicians. Please check it out!

The view from backstage at my office for the afternoon. Such a beautiful Christmas concert - complete with a fog machine and falling snow... plus, most importantly, the music was beautiful too! 🎶 Feeling deeply fortunate to be a part of it all 💕
Grateful for chances to play with friends lately. 🎶 It’s been a busy semester for sure, but these are the things that have kept me grounded. So thankful 🙏🏻
A stained glass window from the wedding I played last weekend. I love playing in churches - there are always so many beautiful architectural details to contemplate 🤩 #weddingmusician #weddingmusic #weddingmusicians #churchmusician #churchmusic #churchmusicians #stainedglass #stainedglasswindow
A recent joy for which I'm thankful: last weekend my mom and I played for a Saint Andrew's supper! We put together many Scottish sets (along with our favorite Celtic carols of many kinds), used rehearsals as great excuses to spend time together, and then got to enjoy a beautiful evening. It reminded me of how we would play together almost every night when I was growing up - absolutely precious memories 💗
Last night’s office. Such a wonderful time playing with my mom - we put together a collection of Scottish tunes and Celtic carols for a St. Andrew’s supper. Such a beautiful evening! #stlouismusicians #stlouismusicscene

“Following a few years of flute lessons that never really excited me, I ended up switching to lessons with Dr. Lisa Gilbert. Dr. Gilbert made me enjoy practicing for the first time, and this lead to great improvement from the standstill I was experiencing. She is very flexible when it comes to personal goals and preferences while maintaining high enough standards to encourage growth and skill development. I am now studying flute at the college level and can honestly say I wouldn’t be here without Dr. Gilbert’s help.”

-A former high school student
