Flute Lessons in Bosque, NM

Instruments: Piano Voice Flute

My supportive approach to teaching  begins with finding out where the student is in skill development and assessing the student's desire to learn or need for the subject matter, then assisting them, with materials and techniques, in learning the skills necessary for their chosen goals.For piano students several methods can be used: J.W.Schaum, John Thompson, Alfred Adult Course, etc. . For voice students, the Cocone, Vaccai, and Abt Methods can be applied. Read More

I am an experienced and passionate musician who teaches for the love of music, not for the love of competition. I hold degrees in music education and saxophone from the University of Wisconsin at Whitewater and humanities from California State at Dominguez Hills, as well as a number of year's study in saxophone and jazz improvisation and theory at the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music in Milwaukee. I have been published through Plank Road Publishing and Music K-8 Magazine and have performed at venues large and small, as well as theatres, festivals and clubs from the Midwest to Florida and ultimately to New Mexico.

My method on teaching varies from student to student because there are no two students alike.

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Cello Viola Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums Recorder Double Bass Euphonium French Horn Tuba Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Oboe Bassoon English Horn Keyboard

I like to create lessons in which students learn to read traditional music notation, develop technique, and play familiar tunes. I use musictheory.net to help student practice reading note names. The faster a student can read musical notation, the faster the student can pick up new pieces. To develop technique, I want students to lean scales and arpeggios. Sometimes, we use a technique book to develop muscle memory, and other times technical exercises are created based on the tricky musical passages of solo or ensemble pieces. Read More

Instruments: Flute

I'm looking forward to sharing the love of music with others as I use research-based strategies to motivate students to achieve their best results. I started teaching other flautists in high school, and continued to teach my peers as students in college. I find that helping students figure out effective ways to practice helps speed to process along, help students stay motivated, and achieve the results they want without pressure or anxiety. Read More
