Instruments: Flute Piccolo
As a flute player, where would we be without the teachings of Trevor Wye, Marcel Moyse, Paul Taffanel and Philippe Gaubert? Of course, I will start by determining where they are at, a test, so to say. For the beginners, I like to start with the Trevor Wye beginners books. As they grow more advanced, we will look at separate books such as the 24 melodic studies by Moyse and intermediate books that are also by Wye. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo
I began teaching flute lesson when I was a sophomore in high school in 2010 by helping middle school students, as well as other high school students, to prepare for band auditions. I taught throughout my time in college as well. I took a short break after graduating with my master's but have since returned to teaching in the Rockwall area. I have also taught in larger group settings, working with marching band flute sections and flute choir. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I have been teaching since age 15 (1999). In addition to extensive performing experience on clarinet, I have functioned as a piano accompanist, choir member, and praise band member through the years. As noted above, I teach clarinet, saxophone, flute, and piano. My methods vary according to each individual students' needs and goals, however I try to find the approach that will best help a student to appreciate music in general, sharpen the mind, and give each student a level of skill on their instrument that provides a sense of accomplishment.

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: Saxophone Flute Clarinet
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 in the style they want to learn. p> Read More
Instruments: Flute
In my studio students learn to make music for music's sake. I customize each lesson to fit the individual student's needs and goals. It is personally rewarding to me to see my students grow and progress. It is my goal to instill in my students a life-long love of music. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium French Horn Tuba Oboe
Since most of the students I teach are members of a band program, I make sure that most of my lessons are based on what is being learned at school. Planning an individual practice schedule is imperative for their success but at the same time make it enjoyable so the student will want to practice. Constant acknowledgement of their progress each lesson the student more eager to learn. Even though the school program may require students to learn from specific material, I also tailor instruction to music they enjoy performing. 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
