Modal Flute Warmup NEWS!
Modal Flute Warmup has been selected for inclusion in the 2025 Selected Flute Repertoire and Studies Guide for The National Flute Association (NFA) Pedagogy Committee.
“The subcommittee that assessed the book felt it was an important contribution to the work of flutists who explore outside of the strictly tonal realm.”
Thank you, NFA!
“She plays beautifully, with enviable control and supple phrasing,” says Sequenza21 of flutist Laura Lentz. Ms. Lentz, hailed for her “striking, meticulous flute playing,” is praised by audiences and composers for her “incredible, gorgeous tone.” She has a deep commitment to sharing the work of today’s most forward-thinking composers and is dedicated to both performance and mentorship through her work as a soloist, collaborator, and teacher.
“Laura is a true ambassador of my flute repertoire.”

I am a flutist dedicated to contemporary music for solo and chamber settings.
I commission, perform, and record music by today’s most forward-thinking composers whose music I truly admire.

Collaborator
Collaborating with others to create and share exciting new work is what I find most artistically fulfilling.

Teacher-mentor
As a teacher-mentor, I guide students how to discover and grow as an artist.
Students feel empowered and become advocates for their own musical journey.
