Hadar Noiberg describes her unique performance workshop:
The Self Sufficient Flutist is a teaching method I have developed and used both in my private practice as well as in flute workshops around the world. Its goal is to help flutists strengthen their musical independence and understanding of the various musical elements (melody, rhythm, harmony) and how they interact.
​
My class is suitable for both Classical and Jazz flutists (and all other musical genres). I come from a background of playing in orchestras and chamber ensembles as well as touring internationally with my own original projects where I both compose the music and improvise.
​
The idea for the class sprouted from my own experience of studying classical flute as well as jazz and realizing that there’s a gap in the way classical and jazz flutists are taught. This gap is preventing classical flutists from gaining more freedom with their instrument through deeper understanding of harmony and groove and, at the same time, preventing jazz flutists from having a deeper understanding about their technique, breath, tone and how to use it to their advantage.
​​
My workshop is very interactive and is changing depending on the flutists in front of me. My goal is to connect to the flutists in front of me and make them feel comfortable enough to then take them out of their comfort zone. I see how flutists feel more comfortable with being playful and getting to know the multiple layers of music in a fun way and the benefit that it gives them. This gives me passion and a sense of purpose.

Hadar Noiberg is a flutist, composer, arranger, and producer. Originally from Israel, she moved to New York City at the age of 21, where she spent fifteen years performing, recording five albums, and touring internationally with her harmony-less trio. Her music seamlessly blends a variety of styles, including classical, jazz, Brazilian choro, and elements from Latin America and the Middle East.
​
Collaborating with extraordinary musicians and drawing inspiration from these diverse genres, Hadar has developed a unique musical voice. Her creative journey has taken her across the globe, with performances in the U.S., Canada, Israel, Brazil, Taiwan, and Europe.
​
Constantly pushing boundaries, Hadar enjoys experimenting with different musical forms. With a particular love for vintage and modern low flutes, her collection includes antique wooden instruments alongside alto and bass flutes, which play a central role in her explorative sound.
​
In addition to performing, Hadar is deeply committed to teaching. She is the creator of The Self-Sufficient Flutist, a method designed to help flutists from all backgrounds deepen their understanding of melody, rhythm, and harmony. Drawing from her experiences in classical and jazz music, her method bridges stylistic gaps in traditional flute education, offering a more integrated approach.
​
Currently, Hadar balances touring, performing, and teaching, with a special focus on online education and international workshops. Over the past five years, she has cultivated a global flute community, connecting with flutists from around the world. Through social media, she shares her expertise and strives to foster a supportive community that encourages artistic growth across borders.
