Instruments: Flute

My teaching style is very comprehensive. I believe that a good musician is a well-rounded musician, and an understanding of music theory and history is important to a thorough understanding of the music. I have been blessed with teachers who made these potentially confusing areas fun and engaging, and I enjoy finding ways to pass that on to my students. I also place a high degree of emphasis on listening, both to oneself and to other performers, recordings, and styles. Read More

I also do a lot of ear training and music theory to ensure that students are obtaining well-rounded musical skills. Read More

First I like to get a snap shot of the student's goals and sources of inspiration, once I figure that out I can tailor my instruction around their wants and needs.

I encourage loved ones to be a supportive and active part of the process as that encouragement can fuel a student's desire to grow. Read More
