I began teaching as a music education major in college. I took a course titled The Art of Instrumental Techniques, in which I learned about how to lead instrumental rehearsals for large ensembles and individual lessons. I taught two flute students through this course, and that provided me with a solid assessment method that I use today. Later on, I student taught at an elementary school district. There, I taught countless instrumental lessons of all instrument families to small groups of fourth, fifth, and sixth graders. Read More

I have brought beginners who have never touched music before to work up to Bach and Vivaldi, as well as to their favorite classics like Fleetwood Mac. On the other hand, I have a high level of training and have coached young semi professionals before auditions and competitions to help fine tune their playing before the big day. I know what judge panels are looking for and this can be a helpful tool for a student trying to break into an academic or professional setting. Read More

My teaching style is relaxed and organic. Don't get me wrong, we will work hard! But it will be fun and enriching.

At the end of each lesson, the student and I collaborate to make goals for daily practice. Every few weeks, my students and I collaborate on goals for next few weeks and the next few months.

Ihave a very animated lesson style. I believe that students have a lot of pressure to do well, so I believe increating a nurturing atmosphere where students can achieve their maximum potential without the fear of playing a wrong note! I've had great success with students who just can't seem to find "the right teacher" because they are so stressed out about learning notes. Music is so much more than just learning to read what is on the page. Read More
