Angela McCuiston was my student at Tennessee Tech University from 1999 to 2003. During her time at TTU she distinguished herself as one of our most outstanding players, performing in the top ensembles on both flute and piccolo. Her playing, like her personality, is effervescent and refreshing, characterized by a beautiful tone quality, mature phrasing and technical prowess.

She has returned since graduation to give master classes to current flute students, proving herself a fine teacher in addition to her impressive performance skills.

Angela McCuiston arrived in Panama City at a pivotal point of my playing status. At the time I had out-grown my previous teacher, who focused on trombone, and needed someone who not only knew my instrument, but also was eager to teach it. I began taking lessons from Angela late September of my junior year and right away I noticed an immediate change in my playing. First, my embouchure became refined then my musicality improved tremendously.

One thing I liked about her teaching was her vocabulary of instruction. There were many times when I would not understand a musical thought or style one way she explained it. Every time Angela had many other backup ways to explain her methods so that they were understandable for anyone. This practice is perhaps her most valuable asset as a teacher.

Angela McCuiston spent a day at my school, John F. Kennedy Middle School in the Fall of 2008. She worked with my middle school flute students in small masterclasses throughout the day and even travelled across the road to Antioch High School to work with the high school students.

Mrs. McCuiston performed for each class and then took the flute sections aside to work with them in small groups. She addressed tone production, embochure formation, hand position, and other techniques appropriate for the level of students being tutored. She did a fine job of holding the attention of the students involved and it was noticeable over time the impact of her influence. I would highly recommend Mrs. McCuiston for similar masterclasses.
