Nicole Molumby, Professor of Flute and Music Theory at Boise State University shares her commitment to challenging her students to be independent thinkers and risk takers.

She has really embraced the notion of meta-cognition as a high impact teaching strategy and makes space for her students to have a journey of self discovery on and off the instrument.

By supporting her students to not just play the Flute but to create immersive musical experiences that take risks, Nicole has created a culture where discomfort and challenge are embraced.

Just wait till she drops the bombshell that one of her adult students is an astronaut who played her flute on the International Space Station.
