My teaching experience dates back to my pre-college/ post high school days where I was a volunteer director of a community ensemble in Jamaica. This opportunity opened doors for me to teach music theory and private saxophone and flute lessons in a community based project that was geared towards using music for social development and change in the inner city youth. I eventually moved on to the college setting where I served as a Graduate Assistant who had the responsibility of providing private and supplemental lessons to students who were enrolled in the University, all while operating a private studio of my own.

I typically like to structure my lessons in the following parts: tone production, scales/technique, studies, and repertoire. This structure will vary with each student depending on their proficiency and interests. I believe that a good sound is the very basis of flute playing. During this portion of the lesson, we focus on how to produce a good quality sound that is unique to each student. Everyone has a unique voice that should be encouraged and developed. Read More

I have taught music for the past three years (mostly in home lessons). Jazz is a very important component to my lesson plan, because I want all of my students to understand the concept of improvisation. Improvisation makes students excited to see that music goes beyond what is on the sheet of paper. If a student is not having a good time making music, I am not doing my job correctly. Read More

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Trevor wye's Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Also I try to keep them motivated by planning projects like recording a piece or play in front a big public. Read More
