Freedom In Form is a 6-month journey into the heart of what you want most in your music.

Our time together creates a profoundly supportive space where your body, mind, and spirit may anchor into your unique gifts and goals.

When you are ready to step fully into your artistry, Freedom In Form is for you.

Moving unabashedly towards your art is a gift to yourself and to everyone around you. I love getting to see all the ways clients benefit as a result of the massive growth that happens during this time.

Who is this for?

My clients are brilliant humans from a multitude of backgrounds who want to embark on a period of musical growth and receive high-level support along the way.

While personal goals vary, everyone is here for a big ole transformation. Most people are surprised at how often breakthroughs occur — not by cramming in more of what you’ve already been doing, but by carefully attuning to your unique system, following what you want, and cooperating with your ways of learning.

Whether you’re here to master a new instrument, reclaim a joyful relationship with music, build a stable and adaptable foundation of tone and technique, or to cultivate your life’s work — you’re in the right place.

How does this differ from private lessons?

The best collaborations happen when both parties are fully onboard. I created Freedom In Form to be a space where you and I fully commit to bringing your vision into reality.

We start by getting crystal clear on what it is you really want. This is essential piece often gets rushed through, leaving you with a close-but-not-quite version of what you’re aiming for. By tapping into what really lights you up, we gain access to the energy and momentum that fuels you forward.

This includes anything you want to be better — performance anxiety, your health, growing a career, what’s in your bank account, tone — all of it. You are a whole human and every part of you plays a role. Plus, this is where I get to share my vast medley of skills in body, business, coaching, music, education, and more. There’s a lot to share!

For six months, you have me — a highly skilled, highly attuned, and relentlessly encouraging source of belief — in your corner. When moments of doubt or stuckness arise, it is my job to help you sort out what’s going and smooth the path to the other side. We are not designed to go alone. This process of working together makes progress much faster and much easier.

What People Are Saying

“I have the direction I was lacking because Molly gave me the tools and confidence to do so in the most flexible and relaxed manner. There is no pressure or race to a finish line - Molly meets you where you are. I learned to do the same, and finished our immersive with far more than the coaching and support I sought. Our time left me with a healthier approach toward my music and my life.

“I am thrilled with my decision to engage with Molly in a container. My hopes were to improve my playing and to begin to identify what I referred to as an authentic sound of my own. While I did have the key elements, my playing lacked a robust flow and lift that I admire. What transpired was a completely transformed relationship to playing and, very importantly, to rhythm and tone. Molly’s extraordinary insights into my concepts of tone, rhythm and the role and execution of articulations led to a completely new relationship to rhythm that has had a huge effect on my playing. I am delighted that I trusted that the container process would yield positive results and delighted with the results. Molly is a superb teacher with a gift for identifying (together with the client) the key issues to work on. In addition to her in-depth musical knowledge, she has a vast experience in relaxation, grounding, and mental processes that impact flute playing. It has been a privilege and a joy to work with Molly in the container. I recommend it highly.”

"I have benefitted immensely and am a better flutist and musician from coaching with Molly. The difference is having someone in your corner and someone invested in your progress at a deeper level than most instructors. Molly's approach is impactful and so effective. I learned to figure out what I want, some Irish flute basics I was missing, strategies to unblock my creativity and increase my motivation, and that I can trust my own perceptions and analysis of people and situations. It was worth every penny."

About Molly

I love to study a tradition deeply — it’s history, culture, nuance in phrasing — and then to let music express uniquely through me.

I greatly value versatility in my playing and have always been drawn to many styles of music. I perform in Classical ensembles, contemporary art music, Irish traditional, and in ceremonial spaces internationally and across the US.

I have run a private studio for 20+ years and have taught many a flutist at the California Institute of the Arts, the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance, the Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts, the Folk Alliance International.

In addition to music experience, I am a devoted yogi, licensed massage therapist, energy worker, life coach, triathlete, and devotee of study through nature. Freedom In Form lets me bring all of my expertise to the table.
