Instruments: Piano Flute
I'm a freelance flutist in Columbus, Ohio and volunteer musician at the James Cancer Hospital at The Ohio State University. I have recently graduated with Doctoral of Musical Arts at The Ohio State University under guidance of Katherine Borst Jones and as a soloist I have performed for "Franz Devienne Flute Concerto No. 7 in e minor" with The Ohio State University Symphony Orchestra. I won numerous competitions including American Protege International Flute Competition, Alexander Buono International Flute Competition, Central Ohio Flute Association: Young Artist Competition, Alexa Still Masterclass Competition and so on.

My lessons focus on trouble areas identified during the initial lesson. I would develop a plan of attack setting realistic goals that are both measureable, realistic and obtainable to achieve. A usual model lesson would consist of the following segments: 1. Intonation - I would spend about 5-10 minutes in this area training the student to properly find the center of pitch and listen for an adaptive center of pitch. Most flautists aren't playing in a symphony and will be exposed to an ever changing center of pitch. 2. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Flute
As stated previously, I just want my students to enjoy playing their instrument. I hope that they will improve and be the best that they can be. I do my best to make private lessons fun as well as productive. I utilize the blue Rubank books for students of all levels. No matter how developed a student may be there is always something of value in these books. Of course, I utilize other method books as well as working on specific works by composers depending on what kind of music the students likes. Read More

I have over 5 years of teaching experience working with a variety of communities and age groups internationally and locally. This has allowed me the flexibility to truly cater my teaching style to the needs of each and every student, and be culturally competent realizing that every student learns differently and has different needs. I have conducted a children's choir as well and have played music professionally for over 15 years. I also am an actress where I have acted in a variety of films and theater projects across the city.

My lesson styles are geared towards the end goals of the students. As not all students will have the desire to become professional musicians, the ultimate goal is to build lifelong lovers of the arts...and if the student decides that music is a career, then the lessons are geared accordingly. For younger children, the ultimate goal is that their love of the music and instrument will spark their desire for practice and further learning, but that they ENJOY music as an art and experience first.

Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I always create a unique lesson plan for each student based of their age, skill, and most importantly the music style or genre they want to pursue. I approach every genre with a strong foundation in order to make repertoire more approachable, such as learning a variety of scales, developing good tone, and working on method or etude books to strengthen the range of possibilities on their instruments. I will always take in the student's interests to make lessons fun and engaging while developing a strong drive and passion towards creating music. Read More

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am the most proud of my senior recital. I had organized an entire hour and half's worth of repertoire with varying styles and formats of groups. I included a handful of solos and duets, accompanied and unaccompanied by piano. I was part of a wonderful wind quintet that agreed to perform a few of my favorite selections. I arranged a contemporary piece for a flute quintet, complete with percussion, and I actually was able to figure out a time and place for us all to meet and practice a few times. My university's flute ensemble had rehearsed a fun piece to showcase as well. I had a goal to perform at least once on each of the four flute instruments I had available: piccolo, flute, alto flute, and bass flute - and I pulled it off! I learned so much about programming, organizing rehearsals, and becoming dedicated to practicing, and I wouldn't have had it any other way!
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session for me has generally the same format every time. It begins with a warm up of long tones or harmonics, just to get the sound going and the lungs to wake up. Next, I like to look at a technical exercise, maybe dealing with finger technique or lip flexibility. I sometimes like to use a mirror during technical practicing, to make sure my fingers look relaxed and close to the keys, and to watch how my lips and jaw move when I play in certain ranges. After this part is when we're usually nice and warmed up, so we will advance to something more expressive, like a solo or another choice repertoire. At this point we will work on dynamics and style, keeping in mind correct playing posture and breathing. At the end of a practice session, I will take a little time to work on something light and fun, as a cool-down.
I generally don't prefer to stay on just one thing for an excessive amount of time, because much like cramming for a test, it can tire you out. I move from one activity to the next when I feel like we've reached an appropriate level of practice for the day, or if we reach a certain goal.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Music Education. I chose this path for myself when I was about a junior in high school. I was playing flute in every ensemble I was physically able to, and I learned new instruments for ensembles that didn't include flute. Music had grown to be such an integral part of who I was, and I fell in love with the community of musicians that I was surrounded with. High school graduation grew nearer and nearer, and I had a realization that I did not want to leave this community of musicians. I knew graduation was inevitable, but I was at my happiest when I was in the music department of my school. That is the exact moment that I decided to major in music education so that I could become a music teacher and be a part of a music department once again.
