Instruments: Flute Piccolo

For beginning students who are children, I use the Rubank Method for Flute as well as Pares Scales. Once they have become more advanced I assign more challenging etude and scale books. When the student has a grasp of the instrument,I present solo repertoire and orchestral excerpts tailored for each level. I try to keep each student's goals, ability, age, and interests in mind when choosing music to keep the lessons engaging and fun! Read More

My methodological procedures are determined solely on the level of the student and their performance ability. Oftentimes I tailor lessons that ive created in my past to create lesson plans for individual students.

For larger groups or smaller ensembles I create lessons around whatever the end goal is and/or the performance requirements. Read More

I have been giving voice lessons for the past 7 years starting in my undergrad years at Alabama State University. I am all about the live performance, so my ultimate goal is to make the singer comfortable with the stage and the music, finding ways to connect to the music to bring out the correct emotion to capture the audience. Breathing is my main focus because without breath there is no voice no sound. Read More
