I should start off by saying each student is unique, and since the lessons are one on one, my approach to each student will be unique. That being said, there are certain skill-sets and areas of focus that every student should learn. For complete beginners, I start off with technique. What is good posture? What is good hand position? How do you form a proper embouchure and produce a supported airstream? Read More

I love sharing the gift of music with students of all ages. In 2018, I graduated from Temple University with a Bachelor of Music degree in Flute Performance and Music History. Performing all over the world has been one of the greater experiences of my life as a musician, and I've had the opportunity to play throughout the U.S. and in several European countries such as Ireland, Italy, Austria, and more.

I began teaching in my undergraduate degree at Kutztown, PA. There I began working with the flute studio from a nearby high school. As I have moved to New Jersey, I have taken on my own private studio. I have students ranging in ages 4-50+.

I also might bring in a mixture of exercises from the Trevor Wye book and my etude books, depending on the level of advancement. In addition to the methods books and etude books, I will work with my students to select a piece of solo repertoire that is within their playing ability. I believe that solo repertoire is, more or less, the ultimate goal of all the technical and expressive exercises. Read More

my experiences as a musician include performing in both classical and jazz groups in every venue imaginable. These performances include recital halls, banquet halls, school auditoriums, night clubs, bars, restaurants, weddings, parties, church ceremonies, community theater and parades. I encourage my students to practice like I practice and to perform as often as they can. I play classical music every day and I like for my students to study a classical piece because it helps them develop technique rapidly. Read More
