Overview

I am a classically trained flute and piccolo player. I have a doctorate in Flute Performance from the University of Minnesota and a Masters degree from the University of Oregon. I am a member of the Eugene Concert Orchestra and perform regularly as a substitute musician with the Rogue Valley, Vancouver, and Helena Symphonies, Orchestra Nova Northwest, and the Boise Philharmonic. I also have experience performing at weddings (including arranged specific songs for flute solo or duet), gallery openings, and other events as a solo or chamber musician.

Best flute player!

Robert was very punctual, kind, and performed beautifully, even though the weather was working against him. He adjusted quickly for the weather, and had a great attitude the entire time. He also picked out the perfect selection of music for our event. I cannot recommend Robert enough. If you need a flute player, Robert is the one!

Absolute Perfection

I highly recommend Robert Wakeley. He is professional, generous and an outstanding flute player. He played for my dad's celebration of life. My dad was an excellent flutist and Robert has perfect tone and technical skills that reminded all who knew my dad of this musical gift. He payed careful attention to the details of the event, arrived early to test the sound and stayed through the event to honor my dad. I'd give 100 stars if possible.

Talented flute player

Robert was amazing. Always responsive to my questions before our event and timed his arrival just right. Robert not only learned our requested song but played it beautifully. He is a talented musician and friendly and engaging person.
