Instruments: Flute, Music
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More
Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Trumpet, Trombone, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, Banjo
I have enjoyed teaching and helping students of all ages for 24 years in achieving their goals in learning to play their instruments. Educated at Columbus State University with a Music Education degree, I teach many instruments including piano, guitar, including Classical style, banjo, saxophone, clarinet and flute. If you would like to start on the trumpet or trombone, I can help you as well. I specialize in working with the novice musician, giving them a solid foundation in instrumental technique and musical knowledge. Read More
Instruments: Flute
My teaching experience is, in all honesty, very minimal. I taught lessons for a short period of time during my days in high school and was an assistant band director at Greenbrier Middle School for my senior year in high school (2021-2022). However, I have very extensive experience in my ensembles and instrumental history. I was 9th chair of flute and 4th chair of flute in my district's honor band in my sophomore and senior year (junior year N/A due to covid pandemic), and was a member of the Greenbrier High School Symphonic Wind Ensemble for my upperclassman years.

Instruments: Flute, Recorder, Piccolo
I generally start off my beginners with A.C. Peterson's Rubank Elementary Method or Bruce Pearson's Standard of Excellence. After they develop the basic skills, I will move the student onto Robert Cavally's Melodious and Progressive Studies etude book. From there, I may introduce solo repertoire into the curriculum. I also find it important to play duets with the students to train the ear in a "proper" tone and intonation. Read More
Instruments: Piano, Voice, Trumpet, Trombone, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, Drums, French Horn, Tuba
During the first lesson, I typically try to find out the level of the student. Once the student's level is known (beginners-advance, children-adults), not just playing and or singing ability, but their knowledge of theory, the names of the lines and spaces, the value of notes and rests, the names of the major clefs (treble and bass), etc., then we will better know what method books to engage a student in.
