Anne Sheedy Gardner was first mentored by Paul Desmond and Norman Bates, both members of her Dad’s jazz band, when she was a young girl. That early training, along with flute studies on scholarship with Severino Gazzelloni in Rome and Julius Baker, Yusef Lateef, and Sam Baron in NYC, helped her in her early career as an on-call studio and Broadway musician in NYC and as a touring musician throughout the US, Italy, Canada and Japan. She has appeared as soloist with the San Francisco Symphony, performed on tour with the Yale Woodwind Quintet, and was presented in live and televised recitals in NYC and California through the auspices of the Concert Artists Guild.

She taught at NYU, Goddard College, Usdan Center of the Arts, and Peru State College. Her specialties include coaching students to win auditions, scholarships, and competitions and helping doublers develop a clear, beautiful sound on the flute.
