Before approaching any instrument, I would evaluate the depth of my student's stick control and basic technique, regardless of their age or experience level. I feel teaching students the musicality of percussion is imperative. Some people just think drumming is simply wailing on a surface as loud as possible. This is only half true :). I would discuss the importance of musicality and explore the different ways to portray music. Drummers are also musicians. Read More

The key to being a successful teacher is understanding your students learning styles and adjusting your methods to best suit their needs. With this in mind, I tailor each lesson for individual students by understanding their goals, determining their level, and selecting appropriate repertoire. As a musician, I aspire to touch lives through music and make a difference one tune at a time. Whether winning first place in a piano competition, performing for weddings and recitals, accompanying soloists, collaborating with other musicians, or playing in church venues, I have always enjoyed music; and, I believe music is meant to be shared.

Instruments: Flute Piccolo

I have had the privilege of teaching private lessons for 5 years. My teaching began with working at marching band summer camps and demonstrating the flute to new band students and has evolved into the studio I have today. I enjoy working directly with schools to provide students with the easiest access to lessons. Regular practice is the best motivator, because when you practice, you will see results! We can work together to find the perfect goals for you, whether it is to play in a recital, audition for All State, or learn that piece you have always loved. Read More
