I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music.

Instruments: Flute
I began teaching private flute lessons when I was in high school to younger students in the Amityville school district, Amityville, NY. Once I began student teaching on Long Island, I began building a small studio of flute students. I then moved to NYC where I taught in the NYC public school system for 9 years teaching 6-12 grade. In that time, I started the music program at my school where I built 5 choruses, an orchestra, recorder class, a Broadway appreciation class, a step team and completed numerous other tasks. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to my high school days, as I rose to become section leader of the clarinet section in band and section leader of the alto section in choir. Since then, I have been teaching private lessons to students of all different ages and skill levels, as well as individuals with disabilities. Encouraging practice schedules and routine is something I like to emphasize in younger students. I aim to bring my students individual musical interests into our class as that tends to keep them more engaged. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet Piccolo
Seeing my students grow and develop in every lesson is rewarding. Encouraging them to keep going it's my best attribute. It's very important to me that each and every student develops at their own pace. Setting short and long-term goals as for each lesson is very important for the student; this way he/her can know what to expect from the teacher. Read More

I approach each student individually, working with strengths and addressing weaknesses in a relaxed, no-pressure environment. Individual musical interests (such as jazz, pop, classical, or rock genres) are incorporated into each lesson, helping to streamline and facilitate the learning process. Lessons focus on:Beginning students learn to make music from the first lesson starting with simplesongs, and eventually withme joining in playing duets at each lesson. Tone production Finger technique Music notation Rhythm Sight reading Playing by ear Phrasing and interpretation Improvisation At each lesson we work with short term goals, leading to long term improvement.

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.
