Mrs. Harrington has served on the faculties of the University of Montevallo, University of Evansville (IN), Innsbruck Music Festival (St. Louis), and Alabama School of Fine Arts (Interim). She maintains a large, selective flute studio in Birmingham. Passionate about teaching the flute, she meets students where they are, and helps my students achieve their highest potential on the instrument. In the last 20 years, her students have consistently placed into into All County, All District, and All State Bands, as well as All-Region and All State Orchestras, Alabama Symphony Youth Orchestra, and Alabama Youth Symphony, earning top chairs in all of these. In addition, her students have competed in and won or placed at the the AL All State Solo Competition, the Mid-South Flute High School Soloists Competition, the ASO Lois Pickard Competition, and ASYO Concerto Competition, the Utah Flute Sonata Competition and the National Association of Arts and Letters Competition.

My graduated students have earned tens of thousands of dollars in Music/ Band scholarship money, even if they are not Music majors. Mrs. Harrington also spent several years teaching music to young children in the Birmingham area. She held positions at Oak Mountain Intermediate School, St. Luke's Day School, and All Saints Pre-School, and is certified as a Kindermusik and Music Together teacher.
