Instruments: Flute
Though I use my method books as a trusted point of entry for flute instruction, no two students are alike! As my student, you will be expected to let me know what your specific goals are for flute playing, as well as your interests and passions both within music and outside of it. I'll work with you to develop the kind of instruction that will best suit your needs, and together we'll make sure you are getting what you expect. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Recorder Piccolo Music
When teaching younger students, I prioritize developing a passion for music through engaging repertoire and positive encouragement, while instilling proper technique and organized practice with weekly progressive assignments. I also establish practice expectations and share progress with parents. In every lesson I demonstrate concepts by performing various woodwinds and piano, and by singing. Advanced students work towards external goals established in consultation with both students and parents like school concerts, honor band/orchestra auditions, or college applications, encouraging students to grow their musical community outside of the lesson studio.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Flute Clarinet Bass Guitar Recorder
You can learn so much about a student in a 30 minute trial lesson! If a new student is not a total beginner, I will ask them to play their favorite song (or one of their favorites if they have trouble choosing just one). After their performance, I ask them what they liked about how they played. Its important for students to always be aware of what they do well. If they arent able to see their strengths on their own then I share with them what I think their strengths are and encourage them to keep that up. Read More

I love helping my students discover what inspires them about music. Through working with each student's individual needs I am able to tailor my lessons to match them perfectly. My goal is to bring out the joy in music for my students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Flute
I love sharing the joys of music with others! I graduate from Marywood University in January 2017 with a Bachelors degree in Music Therapy. I took private vocal lessons starting when I was 14 years old. I was a part for my colleges chamber choir and I went on tour with them and performed throughout the US and Canada. I studied abroad in London for a semester and was a part of the Kings College choir as well. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Flute Piccolo
Teaching is the best decision I have ever made in my entire career. When students first start I always ask them what their goals are and what they would like to work on. My goal for them is to watch them grow into the best musicians they can be because I see so much potential in them. For band students, during marching band camp, I asked my students to play what they could and gave them feedback afterward including suggestions on how to correct bad habits early on. 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.
