Instruments: Piano Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet Bass Guitar Recorder Double Bass Music
I am a musician, composer, and educator seeking to share my musical knowledge with students who are eager to learn. I was born into a musical family, and was exposed to great music from an early age. I began playing the piano when I was eight, picked up the saxophone at ten, and have been playing flute and clarinet now for about six years. Following my musical education, attaining my Bachelor's of Music Performance at Ohio State University and then a Master's of Music at Western Michigan University, I worked as a musician for Royal Caribbean Cruises, performing alto saxophone, flute, and clarinet as part of the Show Band aboard the Radiance of the Seas.

Instruments: Flute Piccolo
I began teaching flute privately in 2000, building a flute studio in Buffalo, NY of over 15 members. My students are known for their consistency in rhythm and pitch, along with their love of flute. I encourage all students to enter competitions and attend performances and masterclasses, which motivates students and encourages them to seek their own creative outlets. I've found that through combining not only flute fundamentals, but music theory, singing and movement, I have had a higher success rate for continued improvement with my students. Read More

Instruments: Piano Flute Recorder Piccolo
My approach to teaching anyone music is to present it as a unique language, one that anyone in the world can use to communicate with anyone. Therefore, my initial emphasis for each student is to help them master the flute in terms of technique and tone so that they can then concentrate on the style of music that they love. Lesson plans are very detailed and great emphasis is placed on problem solving and working out ways to improve while the student still juggles a busy schedule. Read More
Instruments: Voice Flute Music
Also, I hold a Master's Degree in Music with a specialty in Opera Performance from the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University and served as an artist for the International Vocal Arts Institute of NYC, working closely with professionals at the Metropolitan Opera. I’ve been singing all my life, and I’ve honed in on the art of using your voice to communicate through song.In performance, I love communicating with an audience and bringing them in to my character’s circumstance on stage.

Instruments: Flute Music
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Music for me has become a journey towards finding my true voice. I began playing flute as a young child by mandate of my parents, and was pretty much forced by my parents to practice every day... it took many years before I began to truly understand what a difference this musical skill could have in my life and to others.
I have an aunt who is a professional opera singer, and when I was a young adult in my 20s I decided to take voice lessons from her... hence the journey towards finding my true voice! I worked with her for several years to get in touch with the musical voice that had always been hiding inside me, and learned to listen to that. I began to develop a deep love of performing, a passion of my own, that nobody was instructing me to have! but I struggled with severe stage fright, so I mostly kept myself away from any stage for many years.
Years later I found a flute choir to join, where our performances were "safely limited" to churches and elder-care homes. With practice, many performances, and some unexpected networking I discovered some local "pro-jams" where I made my rock-alternative-jazz debut, called on stage by a good friend and fellow musician. The first time I performed on stage, in that loud, crowded club, I felt the nerves take over as the spotlights hit my face and my hands and breath shook. I was certain I'd played terribly and would be forever shunned by the rock performing community, but it turns out nobody noticed my nerves - only the fact that I got up on stage and played that flute. This transformative moment for me led to many energetic performances, increasing in confidence each time.
As an adult I've enjoyed performing in several ensembles including 8 years in a flute choir and various professional "jam sessions." I love performing, whether it be highly rehearsed and technical or improvisation. In my years of flute playing I've had the privilege of performing with local contemporary rock groups such as The Straightjackets and Father Jones Band, funk bands Soul Circus/The Insecurity Guards, and the incredible honor of sharing a stage with the internationally renowned, Grammy winning singer/songwriter Jeffrey Gaines.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Most flute instructors ask that a student be at least 10 years old to begin flute lessons, and this is primarily due to the size and shape of the instrument - specifically, a student's arms need to be long enough so that their fingers can comfortably cover each of the keys with their mouth is resting on the mouth piece. It's important to develop good posture-habits early on, so even if you believe your child is ready to begin flute lessons, it's a good idea to have a professional flute instructor meet with your child and a beginner flute to have a complimentary evaluation.
