I also use most of the most common method, scale, and etude books, including Rubank, Klose, Ferling, Rose, and others. But over the years, I have incorporated many seldom-used but extremely beneficial studies into my lesson curriculum. Some of these include the Artie Shaw clarinet method books and the Stievenard Practical Study of Scales (out of print). The books mentioned above are just one part of the music used in my lessons.

I am a motivated teacher who loves to teach flute and to share my passion of music.  I graduated from San Francisco State University with my Bachelors in Music in Classical Flute Performance.  I have studied with Leslie Chin and the second chair of the San Francisco Symphony, Linda Lukas.  I have been able to work with some great conductors such as Dr. Martin Seggelke and John Williams.  I am currently working on the soundtrack for the upcoming Star Wars film and I have completed the season 5 soundtrack of Game of Thrones in November of 2014.

At all times, students must feel safe enough to fail. In many instances, a student's "mistake" would actually be correct in another situation. Read More
