Lish is the adjunct flute professor at Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre, PA and teaches studio lessons, coaches flute ensemble and is on staff for the Conservatory program.
She is also the flute instructor at the Bronx House School of Performing Arts in the Bronx, NY as well as teacher of beginning to intermediate piano. She is an instructor with Musical Associates, an organization that believes "Everyone is Musical" and teaches for the Paramus Community Music School program in Paramus, NJ.
When not teaching in NY or PA Lish teaches in southern New Jersey and travels to students in the central NJ area. She has been actively teaching since 1999.
Some of Lish's first teaching experiences were for local music stores that specialized in after school music lessons for students of all ages. Flute students have ranged from 4th graders to college students, but adults have often taken lessons on flute (or piano), too. Students as young as 4 have taken piano lessons and Lish has experience teaching group piano class for students starting at 6 years of age. Interestingly Lish worked with two young twin actresses for an episode of the WB's show "Maybe It's Me" in which they were required to play piano. That episode aired in 2001.
Lish joined the woodwind faculty at the Pennington School, a private boarding school in central Jersey, to teach interested flutists, most of whom were international students.
Lish was also hired to teach at the Conservatory of Musical Arts (Tony Salicandro, director), formerly the Haddonfield School of Music. Lish taught simultaneously at the Music Place School of Music in Westmont (where she was also a lesson coordinator) and the Berlin, NJ branch as well as Russo's Music in Hamilton, NJ.
For several years Lish maintained a full time teaching schedule with approximately fifty students over six days.
She is currently taking new students in all teaching locations. Please email for more information.
