Instruments: Flute Piccolo
I am an experienced flutist and teacher currently serving the DC Metro area, and I love teaching students of all ages and skill levels, from beginners picking up the flute for the very first time to advanced students preparing for County Band auditions and beyond, to adult students interested in learning a new skill. I received my Master of Music in Flute Performance from the New England Conservatory, and Bachelor of Music in Performance from George Mason University, and am continually improving my skills as a flutist by taking auditions for orchestras and festivals around the country.

Instruments: Voice Flute
What I want is to nurture a life long love and appreciation of music. Every student is going to be at a different level, and have their own strengths and weaknesses. I prefer to get to know my students and their taste in music, before imposing any sort of practice regimen. Whats important is that students enjoy and are fulfilled by their lessons, not overwhelmed (because then they dont practice!). Read More
Instruments: Flute
I believe that students excel in an encouraging and praise filled environment. I also believe that students should be taught how to practice so that they can excel. I tailor each lesson according to the students needs and do my best to instill in them a love for Music. If a student is getting frustrated I am not afraid of taking a break and working on something fun that engages the student. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet
All lessons are tailored to each students ability level, with the goal of creating specific, achievable objectives to foster a successful environment. Students tend to enjoy working on what they are passionate about, so I am interested in finding where a students musical passion exists, and incorporating it into lesson plans and assignments. I do not tolerate shortcuts, but rely on positive reinforcement to encourage students to develop their skills thoroughly. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet French Horn Oboe Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I am a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and helping plant and grow a love for music. I got a degree in music from NOVA Community College in 2012 and am working on my BM from George Mason in Music Education. Right now, I perform all over the NOVA area with many community bands, a personal sax quartet, and I am even a part of a Balalaika Symphony Orchestra. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Flute Clarinet Double Bass
I have also taught middle school flute and clarinet in the Loudoun County Public School System, it was a lot of fun and one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I've been teaching music since May 2008 and love music. My goal is to pass on my passion for music to future generations. Many of my student I have had for years on end. I've gotten to see them grow up and it's a very fulfilling knowing that I have contributed to the family’s life by teaching the kids to play music and foster the courage for the students to play for their families.

Instruments: Flute Piccolo
When it comes to teaching, I like to tailor each lesson to what the student needs, and that may be slightly different for each person. I find duets are a great way to get better at sight reading and improving tuning, so I usually bring a level appropriate duet or two to each lesson. Scales, basic music theory and even some music history are all part of lessons, in addition to other repertoire to develop tone, technique, and musicianship. Read More
Instruments: Flute Piccolo Music
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I always just identified as a musician so there was question that I would go into this as a profession. The part that was confusing was choosing what my major would be and then realizing that my college degree doesn't necessarily define what I'd do in my musical career. I actually quit flute playing for about 2 years after I left grad school (although I was still teaching music classes and repair woodwinds), and had a random opportunity to get back into performing in 2017.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Nope! I have 4 siblings and just 2 of us happen to be professional musicians. No one in our extended family really plays instruments and our parents think sheet music is totally foreign. My sister who's a professional jazz musician teaches at a university, freelances, and writes music for her jazz combos. We are on opposite ends of the musical spectrum.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
All of my students have this basic practice setup:
o warm up on long tones
o fundamental exercises
o scales and arpeggios
o etude
o focus piece
I have detailed practice techniques to use with these basic practice elements depending on what needs to be improved for the week
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Quality over quantity. 30 minutes of focused, accurate practice with a metronome will always be more effective than 2 hours unorganized practice. Come up with a routine and you'll be surprised how quickly you're able to learn!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child shows an interest in their instrument without it feeling forced, they're able to focus on one task for 30 minutes, and begin to ask detailed questions about their instrument, they're ready to start lessons. I personally recommend that if your child is starting beginning band, allow them to get used to the musical setting before beginning intensive 1-on-1 studies.
When will I start to see results?
This part is up to you. I focus on immediate results by providing efficient and proved practice techniques. It takes some discipline to practice the way I teach you, but you will see better results if you trust the process.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
One of my first students I've ever taught has gone on to become a Haynes artist, win international awards, and now studies at Harvard University and a prominent conservatory. She continues flute studies while she also pursues a different profession, and this is what I love to see! Of course, this is a text book success story, but no matter if your flute playing leads you to an Ivy League school or to the living room performing for your loved ones, success is based on the student and what makes them fulfilled.
