Instruments: Piano Guitar Flute Drums Ukulele Recorder Piccolo Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Music Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

My experience in teaching dates back to my time in college, where I coached a few music education majors on the flute. Since then, I have offered my expertise towards community flautists, Emeritus band flute players, and a wide range of percussion and flute students. I am committed to the advancement of my students and feel really encouraged to see them grow and change. From younger to older - beginning, intermediate, or advanced - I will always try my hardest to keep you engaged and moving forward. Read More

Instruments: Piano Flute Recorder Piccolo

I place special importance on relaxation techniques and mindfulness practices that not only enable students to perform better but also allow them to enjoy playing more. I am also a huge advocate for rest - it is such an important part of the learning process and it is essential to becoming a balanced musician (and human!). I offer my students the opportunity to lead and be responsible for their own learning. Read More

I am a motivated teacher who loves to teach flute and to share my passion of music.  I graduated from San Francisco State University with my Bachelors in Music in Classical Flute Performance.  I have studied with Leslie Chin and the second chair of the San Francisco Symphony, Linda Lukas.  I have been able to work with some great conductors such as Dr. Martin Seggelke and John Williams.  I am currently working on the soundtrack for the upcoming Star Wars film and I have completed the season 5 soundtrack of Game of Thrones in November of 2014.

Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet Recorder Piccolo

I think the best way to teach is to start with what my students are interested in and embed music concepts and theory throughout our lessons.  Additionally, I have a library of method books, lesson plans, literature, and curricula that I like to follow. Read More

Instruments: Violin Cello Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Recorder Euphonium Music

I have worked with students at a variety of levels and will meet the their needs accordingly. I ask my students what their goals are and then build an individualized lesson plan based on their needs. We can work on music for performances or for personal growth. I want to help my students reach their musical goals. I usually teach students out of method books to begin with, and while we work through these I ask the students to help select pieces for fun that they might also want to learn for perfomance.

Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo

I have been teaching lessons since I was in high school. I began teaching private lessons part time and have been teaching students on and off ever since then. I firmly believe in every student's ability to succeed and so I emphasize consistent, focused practice. I have helped multiple students gain a love for their instrument and go on to compete and perform as well. I encourage the students have fun and pursue their dreams. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Effective practice is a skill! It definitely doesn't come overnight, and it is far more difficult for some students than others. For me, the most important thing is to pace myself. Some students will be having so much fun while practicing that they don't stop for hours, then they're exhausted and may not practice for days! For effective practice, consistency is KEY. Practicing for modest amounts of time each day, and taking too many "break days"! For younger students, I highly recommend a sticker practice chart. Having this kind of visual representation of the goal can be rewarding for both parents and students! Decide on an amount of time that your student should aim to practice each week (maybe 3-4 hours for a middle school student), and keep track throughout the week with stickers. At the end of the week, if your student has reached the goal, give them congratulations for reaching their goal or buy them celebratory ice cream!

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Every child is different, so I would not recommend starting a child once they reach a specific age. Instead, I would observe how they behave during their individual practice sessions and ask myself the following questions: 1) Does my child practice "just for fun"? 2) Would it be useful for my student to have a mentor who can help guide their practicing? 3) Is my child eager to ask questions about the instrument and the music they are learning? If those are all yes answers, then I would say your child is definitely ready for lessons! As a teacher, what I look for in a student is excitement for learning and a curious mind! If you're concerned about your student not having the discipline or the focus necessary for lessons, consider starting with 30 minute lessons and working up to longer sessions as the teacher advises.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have two degrees in flute performance. I have my Bachelors of Music from the University of North Texas, and my Masters of Music from Stony Brook University. I decided to get my degrees in performance because I love the flute, and because I had a light bulb moment when I thought, "I can't see myself in an office all day not because I'm not smart enough or incapable, but because I want to be playing my flute instead!" Since I started playing the flute, I have always loved learning new music, meeting other musicians, and playing with other musicians. There isn't any experience quite like sitting in an orchestra or playing a solo recital. It is nerve-wracking, but more thrilling and inspiring.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I were not a musician, I would probably be an event planner! I love to plan parties and I love bringing people together to celebrate happy times. Throughout my life, I have been organized, detail-oriented, and a perfectionist. All of these qualities are also great in a classical musician, but they would be equally helpful for someone who coordinates with vendors and venues. But again, music is what I really love to do, and I am fortunate to have had the support of my family to go after my dreams!

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
