I use different method books, depending on the student's age and past experience (if any). I particularly like the Alfred methods, but I supplement this with solo books and duets.

I think it's very important for any student to play solos with piano and once students know a few notes, there are really nice pieces they can do. Read More

I'm a flute teacher interested in educating young flutists as whole musicians, integrating music theory, ear training, eurhythmics, and history where applicable.

I relish the opportunity to get to know my students and share my knowledge and expertise while being enriched by their lives as well. Read More
