Instruments: Flute Piccolo
I love watching people improve little by little. Its what makes the job worth it! As the teacher, I will try to make every improvement celebrated. I will try to tailor the teaching style to the students personality, because everyone is different. We will take things at the students pace as well to ensure proper growth as a player. I also love to teach with imagery and storylines as well, in a way it makes learning even more fun and it can add more depth to any piece or even your everyday scales! Read More
Instruments: Flute
I use the Mark Thomas flute books for beginner through the 2nd year. In the first year, I typically teach basic fundamentals of scales and playing the full range of the instrument along with basic flute literature. Once these are complete I transition into the Anderson studies and more advanced literature. The more advanced flutest would work in the Trevor Wye book series and medium advanced to advanced flute literature. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I teach music, not just instruments. I try to develop a broad appreciation for music that will stay with my students wherever they go in life. I take an individualized approach based on learning styles and strengths. I believe in positive reinforcement, especially with younger students! I also take into account preferences for music styles and attempt to use repertoire that not only broadens their experience, but keeps students focused and interested. Read More

Finding what inspires the student is an important part of my teaching. With this information I can successfully tailor my instruction to the students desires and needs. I acknowledge accomplishments which helps fuel the students desire to progress and makes them eager to learn. It is important that the student progress at their own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Nothing is more rewarding tha seeing a student develop a passion for music and for flute. Read More

Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium French Horn Tuba Oboe
Being a veteran teacher of over four decades I have enjoyed watching my students grow from barely being able to hold a musical instrument to outstanding musicians. As a teacher I make sure that my students learn music fundamentals as well as understand musicianship. Above all, I want my students to love music. I have taught as a music educator in the classroom in five different high school Even though all of them became solid programs each came with a different set of problems. Read More
Instruments: Flute
I have taught flute for 4 years to people of all ages -I have taught children, high school students, pre-college division music majors, college students and adult amateurs - students who have played in school and community orchestras, churches and for their own personal enjoyment. While I was attending the Conservatory we were also required to take several "method" classes that involved not only knowing the history of the instrument but the history of teaching the instrument as well as teaching the instrument in front of the Conservatory faculty.

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
