Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo
No matter the level of the student, I think it is important for them to have achievable goals to work towards. I like to have my students always preparing for something, whether it is an audition, recital, or competition. We do this by working on a combination of solos, etudes, fundamentals, duets, and sight-reading activities. I like to make sure that whatever we are working on is at the right ability level for the student and challenges them appropriately. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute
I am a very passionate person and I love teaching others! I have Been playing for 25 years. I am in the flower mound progressive orchestra and flutissimo flute choir. Read More
Instruments: Flute Piccolo
A mixture of exercises, etudes, literature and theory to make sure that a student is a well-rounded musician, not just a flutist. Special attention is given to UIL and all-region material, as well as fundamentals. I'm stern, but extremely patient. Students are expected to practice and be well prepared, but the material chosen is fun and engaging! Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet
After receiving my jazz performance degree from Rutgers University in 2010, I put together a studio of several dedicated students in New Jersey while performing in the New York Metro area with ensembles ranging from big bands to funk and soul groups. During that time, I also helped create several music education programs and camps in Red Bank and Asbury Park, and was instructed players of all skill levels, helping them improve their skills.

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Music Keyboard
Hello, I am a saxophonist, composer, educator and multi-instrumentalist. I began playing the saxophone at age 12 and from the moment I first touched the horn, I was hooked. After becoming more familiar with the jazz language, I quickly became further immersed in the jazz scene back home in Dallas. During high school I performed in many jazz festivals, competitions and local bands that furthered my artistry and understanding of the music I am playing. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Ukulele Recorder Euphonium French Horn Tuba
For beginner students who are children, I usually start with the Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has advanced to where I can see that they have a good grasp of the fundamentals of the instrument, that is typically when I begin to introduce solo repertoire and supplement with my own material. For adult beginners, I typically will try and use the Essential Elements book to start with but not for very long. Read More
Instruments: Flute Piccolo
I began teaching part time when I was in college. After moving to Dallas, I continued to teach part time while attending graduate school. Upon graduation, I began teaching full time during the day at public schools and evenings in my own studio. Encouraging reguler practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for my students. This tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the flute. Read More
Instruments: Flute Piccolo
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
That's a hard question because I have several but my top 3 are orchestral music, experimental chamber music, and solo music. Each of them present a different side of flute playing but are equally fascinating to me due to the depth of expression that lives within the music.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A solid warm up session that includes tone/sound exercises, scales played at different speeds and articulations and an etude. Then practice excerpts, solo repertoire and then a bit of sight reading.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes, my dad is a professional performer and teacher who specializes in trombone. My grandmother was a pianist and music educator.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
When I heard Claudio Abbado conduct Martha Argerich at the Lucern Music Festival. It was surreal!
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Piccolo tends to be a secondary instrument that is essential to the flute section and that, when performed well, it adds incredible strength and color to the flute section, woodwind section, and entire orchestra.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would be a Graphic Designer and work in Marketing
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 Masters in Flute Performance. I chose this degree because I am passionate about flute playing and wanted to play a wider variety of music as well as learn more about how the instrument worked. In fact, my degree enabled me to branch out into contemporary avant-garde music which I really like!
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Tonal colors and shadings within the big array of musical repertoire.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Because it was the only instrument available at the time. In later years, I continued to study it because I loved how beautiful it sounded as well as the challenge it presented when playing major orchestral solos.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Having won the concerto competition at University of New Mexico as well as seeing my students succeed and grow.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Yes, they have won Superior ratings in the All-State Solo and Ensemble Competitions as well as been selected as members of the All-State Band.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
By attending a trial lesson and then talking with the instructor about your child's abilities and interest
When will I start to see results?
Results are sown, first, in the way you approach and think about music and then in the way you perform it. Your dedication to individual practicing plus attention to details will determine your growth and maturity. The more you nurture your concept of music, the better the results in your instrumental performance.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Have a specific goal in mind for each area of study: sound, technique, musicianship, and repertoire
