Instruments: Flute

For beginning students, I typically use one method book and one book of simple melodies.  My preferred method book is the Rubank series. The method book teaches the basics, while the melodies and songs keep things fresh and interesting for the student so they want to continue.  For advanced students, I find significant, staple pieces that any advanced musician should have in their repertoire.  This keeps the student engaged, and prepares them for anything down the road in their musical careers.

My methods of teaching are personalized for each of my students depending on age, experience and interests. Once I determine their level, I then introduce some method books, technique exercises and etudes. Combining these create a full spectrum of rhythm, dynamics, intonation, form, meter, expression and much more! I continuously assess my students progress and create short and long term goals to set us up for success! Lessons along with student homework will ensure my students begin to love and appreciate their instruments and the repertoire! Read More

Instruments: Flute Piccolo

My teaching experience dates back to just before I started college, as I began teaching lessons part time in 1991. I believe that students begin playing an instrument because they think it is fun. My goal is to have lessons be fun all while establishing a good core of basics to build upon. I do this by learning about each studentindividuallyand catering my lessons to their likes/dislikes. This can be done by learning all types of music; classical, pop/rock, showtunes, country, etc. Read More
