My teaching experience actually began in a limited capacity prior to starting college. I was fortunate to receive private flute instruction throughout high school, and as a result, I held roles as a section leader as a high school upperclassman.  Upon my college graduation, I entered the workforce, all the while picking up flute students, primarily at a beginner level.  I greatly enjoyed building a firm foundation with each student given their ability, so we had a solid starting point to build upon.

Very importantly, I encourage students to experiment with their flute in practice and in making music. Read More
