Instruments: Saxophone Flute Piccolo Music

When I teach, I always make sure that I present new concepts and ideas in a digestible way. I also make sure my student and I are always on the same page with their goals and their playing. If my students don't understand something or feel like they're in over their head, I don't rush them to figure it out. Backtracking is always seen as a positive thing. The most important part of my student's lessons is for them to learn how to teach themselves how to demonstrate the concepts I show them when they practice. Read More

I have been teaching privately since I was in college and have been teaching ever since. .  I believe in meeting students where they are and encouraging them to practice regularly so they will continue to progress at a rate that keeps them excited and developing a passion for the flute and music.  I use classical music and more modern music to help them explore different styles and to keep having fun!  My students are encouraged to audition for honors bands, enter solo and ensemble competitions Adult students are encouraged to join local flute choirs/ orchestras or local concert bands or community orchestras to broaden their experiences.

I love to teach students from the beginning how to have good habits such as, breathing from the belly area. Not only practicing this to support a beautiful tone on the flute, but recognizing how developing a supportive breath practice also reduces stress.. It is also a known fact that according to Dr. Frances Rauscher of the University of California Irvine, with her presentation to the American Psychological Association's Convention, that "early music training seems to shape the young brain, strengthening neural connections and perhaps establishing new ones." Great news!!! Read More

I love to share my music knowledge and I like to met new people. I am an open minded teacher and can adapt the teaching plan for students with different abilities and needs. The most important thing for me is that a student enjoys the music we are playing and learning process they are involved in and therefore make any adjustments necessary to make that a reality. I would like that my students learn something new, something that will be valuable for him/her in the future every time we have a lesson. Read More
