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 have also received commissions and grants from soloists, ensembles, and arts organizations in several U.S. states.

I've been playing flute for many many decades. I keep it fresh by continuing to learn more about music. It's an endless well of possibilities. I currently play with a jazz quartet. I've played flute since i was 9 years old and currently favor the alto flute, with its rich, lower tone. I play and teach both C flute (regular flute) and the alto flute. In teaching, i emphasize music basics and also focus on comfort which leads to better tone and more ease. Read More

I want the students to have fun with their playing as well. Read More
