For beginners, they must learn how to play the instrument. So books like standard of excellence or essential elements are great resources. I will guide them through what the book cannot explain and help them truly internalize aspects of playing their instrument.

Depending on their progress , I will ensure any recital music is music that they want to play, as well as music that really shows their progress on the instrument. Read More

I teach them how to read notes, how to play the flute, how to properly use their body and fingers when playing and very important how to use diaphragmatic breathing.

Every student who wants to learn or improve singing is different and likes different stiles of music and that is why my voice teaching method depends on the students knowledge , abilities, range and etc. Read More
