The richness of tone Susanella Noble lures from her flutes may be unequalled in the world -- Mogollon Advisor
I believe that musicians are merely born with an aptitude and must work throughout their lives to attain their potential. I have been blessed with the ability to lift the notes from the page and touch the soul of composers. I have also been given the gift of composing. I share all my secrets with my students with the hope that they will be better than me.
Susanella earned her Bachelor of Music Education and Master of Arts Degrees from The University of Denver on full scholarship where she studied with Paul Hockstad. She then studied in France with Jean Pierre Rampal, Maxence Larrieu, Alain Marion and Andras Adjoran. Returning to Colorado, Susanella taught at Metropolitan State College and performed throughout the country for Community Concerts with classical guitarist, Charles Wolzien. She began composing music and teamed up with pianist, Deborah Schmit-Lobis, to form Cordillera, a neo-classical ensemble. They produced two albums, Open Space and Along The Coyote Highway, for the Holly Creek Collection label and performed throughout the west including The Pikes Peak Jazz Festival, Jazz In The Sangres, The Arvada Center, Cherry Creek Arts Festival, The Boulder Creek Festival and Larimer Square. Susanella moved to Harmony Farm on the Big Island of Hawaii in 2002 where she teaches flute, piano and composition. She is principal flute of the Kona Symphony, the Kamuela Philharmonic, the Volcano Chamber Players and the Hawaii County Band. She gives workshops in the schools about the history of the fife and substitutes primarily for the bands and music programs. She has publications with Southern Music, Shawnee Press and Santa Barbara Press.
