Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Flute Clarinet Drums Bassoon Keyboard
I am both an avid teacher and an avid performer. In addition to my teaching experience, I have performed in concerts across the US, as well as throughout Europe. I bring a wide variety of performing practices into my lessons, having experience in both vocal and instrumental performance and teaching, as well as involvement in over 80 theatrical productions. My background in Special Education brings a unique approach to my music education, and I would love to adapt my lessons to meet the individual needs of my students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Flute Music
I teach through positive reinforcement and encouragement with a set structure that allows for discipline and certain benchmarks that can determine success and mastery of certain skills. I truly believe that when students are nurtured and given a comfortable space they will excel as creating music and art is vulnerable and requires the student to let go. This cannot happen unless the teacher facilitates an environment and space for organic innovation by the student. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Flute
As stated previously, I just want my students to enjoy playing their instrument. I hope that they will improve and be the best that they can be. I do my best to make private lessons fun as well as productive. I utilize the blue Rubank books for students of all levels. No matter how developed a student may be there is always something of value in these books. Of course, I utilize other method books as well as working on specific works by composers depending on what kind of music the students likes. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute
We are all different. Each student has their own pace of learning. So, I encourage this with setting up realistic goals for each student. Every lesson, I write memos about assignemnts, and student's progress compare to previous lesson/week. Therefore, students and parents will receive "Progress Results" in every four lessons. (or every first week of the month.) Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I have calm but firm teaching style, allowing students to progress at their own pace, but not afraid to push them when they need to. I always make sure they completely understand all that I ask, and listen to their comments and problems they wish to address. I am always happy to teach what they want to learn, but also encourage to learn other forms, styles, and genres of music that they're not familiar with. Read More

Instruments: Voice Flute Recorder Piccolo
My teaching began in the late 1990's as professional musician in the United States Marine Corps teaching new Marine Musicians how to double & triple tongue and play minor scales as well as Greek Modes.I enjoyed the challenge of teaching someone a skill or technique. My reward is watching the lightbulb come on and them master the new skill. I have played professionally for over 15 years and taught flautists during this time. Read More
Instruments: Flute Piccolo
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am the most proud of my senior recital. I had organized an entire hour and half's worth of repertoire with varying styles and formats of groups. I included a handful of solos and duets, accompanied and unaccompanied by piano. I was part of a wonderful wind quintet that agreed to perform a few of my favorite selections. I arranged a contemporary piece for a flute quintet, complete with percussion, and I actually was able to figure out a time and place for us all to meet and practice a few times. My university's flute ensemble had rehearsed a fun piece to showcase as well. I had a goal to perform at least once on each of the four flute instruments I had available: piccolo, flute, alto flute, and bass flute - and I pulled it off! I learned so much about programming, organizing rehearsals, and becoming dedicated to practicing, and I wouldn't have had it any other way!
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session for me has generally the same format every time. It begins with a warm up of long tones or harmonics, just to get the sound going and the lungs to wake up. Next, I like to look at a technical exercise, maybe dealing with finger technique or lip flexibility. I sometimes like to use a mirror during technical practicing, to make sure my fingers look relaxed and close to the keys, and to watch how my lips and jaw move when I play in certain ranges. After this part is when we're usually nice and warmed up, so we will advance to something more expressive, like a solo or another choice repertoire. At this point we will work on dynamics and style, keeping in mind correct playing posture and breathing. At the end of a practice session, I will take a little time to work on something light and fun, as a cool-down.
I generally don't prefer to stay on just one thing for an excessive amount of time, because much like cramming for a test, it can tire you out. I move from one activity to the next when I feel like we've reached an appropriate level of practice for the day, or if we reach a certain goal.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Music Education. I chose this path for myself when I was about a junior in high school. I was playing flute in every ensemble I was physically able to, and I learned new instruments for ensembles that didn't include flute. Music had grown to be such an integral part of who I was, and I fell in love with the community of musicians that I was surrounded with. High school graduation grew nearer and nearer, and I had a realization that I did not want to leave this community of musicians. I knew graduation was inevitable, but I was at my happiest when I was in the music department of my school. That is the exact moment that I decided to major in music education so that I could become a music teacher and be a part of a music department once again.
