Wilson, Kelly (Flute)

kelly.jpgKelly Mollnow Wilson is a flutist, manual therapist and movement educator who teaches musicians to move with ease and comfort. Her teaching brings together a deep understanding of anatomy and human movement and a passion for empowering musicians to take ownership of their movement choices as they craft musically convincing and authentic performances. 

 

Ms Wilson’s teaching career began as public school instrumental music educator in the Wooster City Schools (Wooster, OH) where her responsibilities included teaching band at both the high school and elementary levels and coaching girls sports. Kelly found that one of the things she loved most about coaching athletes was analyzing their movements and finding ways to improve efficiency, a skill that was eventually carried over into her work with musicians.

 

As a licensed member of the Association for Body Mapping Education, Ms. Wilson teaches Body Mapping at Oberlin Conservatory and has presented workshops around the US. As the owner of Precision Performance and Therapy, she uses her skills as a Neurokinetic Therapy (NKT) Practitioner and Licensed Massage Therapist to provide manual therapy for those dealing with pain and discomfort. Her own experience with injury allows her to empathize with her clients and help fill the gaps that musicians frequently encounter when retraining and recovering from injury.

 

Ms. Wilson holds a Master of Music degree in Flute Performance from The Ohio State University and a Bachelor’s degree in Music Education from Baldwin-Wallace College. She teaches flute privately, at both her home studio and the Oberlin Community Music School, and performs as a freelance flutist in Northeast Ohio. 

 

A native of western New York, Ms. Wilson resides in Medina, Ohio with her husband Don and two daughters. Visit her website:  www.precisionperformanceandtherapy.com.
