I love teaching the individual.  My first instructor wanted to know about me, my likes and my goals, and that is the approach I like to take for each student, whether they want to perform live, or need to prepare for a college audition, or anything in between.  I taught a class of children around the age of 6, and an older class as well for a while at a private school in Arkansas.  It was a joy teaching both age groups.  I was able to infuse theory and appreciation into learning songs that they loved.  Read More

I use a combination of books for flute students since they are better suitable for flute study. Some of them are for example; Gariboldi execerses and Trevor Wye along with several books with simple flute solos for beginners.

When it comes to working with students, I feel that i am very easy to work with. I try to encourage my students to practice and love to see them progress from week to week. I also understand that learning new things can be frustrating at times, and help them work over the lessons they are having difficulty with. For beginning students I strongly suggest they practice for at least 15 minutes a day, but would prefer they practice 30. Read More
