Instruments: Saxophone Flute Piccolo
Honestly, if you name it, I have some experience in playing it. I have competed in different states with both the wind ensemble and jazz band in high school and have held workshops with my college jazz orchestra mentoring saxophone students. I am a composer so I can not only teach how to play an instrument but also how to compose for the instrument and in general. I compose within many genres, from classical to ambient to jazz and hip hop as well as electronic styles. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Recorder Music Keyboard
At this point, I encourage the student to bring in any of their favorite songs that they (or their parents) would like for them to play and I custom create an arrangement that is suitable for their abilities. This method allows the student to not only understand the names of the notes and develop proper technique, but it also gives the student a tremendous confidence boost and allows them to have fun making music!

Instruments: Flute Piccolo
For beginning students, I typically like to work out of the Rubanks Elementary Flute Method Books. I also like to find repertoire which will interest each student, with solo repertoire and duets. As students progress, I like to work out of the Trevor Wye books as well as Taffanel et Gaubert Daily Exercises. I always go out of my way to find exactly what the student is interested in, whether it will be doing a certain technical study or etude in order to fulfill this. Read More

Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet Music
In my lessons I use my own materials that I have composed and compiled in the course of 32 years, as well as books that I found in Europe and later in the United States. There are some American educational series that I also like to use. Sometimes my students as me to work on their school band music, in this case we are using the band method books. I am always happy to work with very beginners to very advanced and professional. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
My teaching style revolves around the students’ needs and desires in the music. I like to have a balance of exercises that are centered around developing technical facility and developing the ears of the students. Each student is assessed on what they wish to learn and their own capabilities. I like to give a push into a direction that challenges my students but still allows for them to benefit from and enjoy the music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute
My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 8 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio for the last 5 years. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More
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.
