Im currently a worship director for a church in the Leesburg area where I work with people of all ages.

Instruments: Saxophone Flute Piccolo Music

I have my advanced students work on a lot of difficult music that they may not be familiar with to broaden their horizens while showing them difficult patterns and exercises to strengthen the mastery of their instrument. Overall, I always try to make sure that my students are learning about their own personal love of music through my teaching. If they're not enjoying the learning process, I'm not doing a good job!

For beginning students, I use the Trevor Wye beginning books and supplement with solos, etudes, songs and exercises that I give them which are appropriate for their level. For more advanced students, I will use etudes and methods/ solos which are appropriate for their level. For adults, I will find their interests and select a course of study with them.  With all students, I will assist with their school music or any ensemble/ solo music they wish.

I started playing flute when I found out I couldn't wear it! Really, I started playing when I was 12 years old. I was inspired by my older brother a jazz saxaphonist and multi talented instrumentalist. He introduced me to the flute and now today I'm a passionate and motivated flutist. I love playing the Silver alto flute, Native American Love flute, The quaina and Pan flutes from South America, the Bansuri flute from India and all different types of world flutes. Read More

The best thing about teaching is, by far, seeing the improvement and motivation within your student. I have found through my past experiences, that when my teacher is truly dedicated to their craft, and wants their student to succeed, the more successful both parties are. I believe in encouragement, but while also correcting when needed. In my studio, I hope to create a safe learning environment where mistakes are not just encouraged, but celebrated. Read More

I love to share my music knowledge and I like to met new people. I am an open minded teacher and can adapt the teaching plan for students with different abilities and needs. The most important thing for me is that a student enjoys the music we are playing and learning process they are involved in and therefore make any adjustments necessary to make that a reality. I would like that my students learn something new, something that will be valuable for him/her in the future every time we have a lesson. Read More
