Cynthia Hopkins

Cynthia Hopkins joined the Furman University woodwind faculty in 1997. Born and raised in South Carolina, Miss Hopkins earned both her Bachelor and Master Degrees in Music from the University of South Carolina. Since that time, Miss Hopkins has studied with prestigious artists around the country while maintaining a private studio as well as a professional playing career.

Consistently performing in solo, chamber, and orchestral settings, Miss Hopkins has made it a priority to lead her students in the areas of work ethic and artistry. A dedicated teacher, she uses diversity in learning is a primary goal of the studio, with emphasis on reading and listening, as well as solo performance and orchestral study. To grow fully, flute students are encouraged to study from master classes in the US and abroad.

Miss Hopkins currently resides in Columbia, S.C. where she is a member of the South Carolina Philharmonic, the Augusta Symphony, The Columbia Flute and Harp Duo, and Quintet Carolina. She has maintained a private studio for 18 years out of her home, and is dedicated to the outcome of our future artists and teachers.
