Instruments: Piano Flute
I have been playing and teaching professionally for 32 years. I perform approximately 50 gigs per month on piano and flute as a soloist or duo with my husband (who is a teacher and performer on classical guitar, also in the Musika family). I have enjoyed classical music since childhood and would be in awe of anyone with musical ability. I am happy to now be able to play pieces that I thought could only be played by people with exceptional ability. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet Recorder Piccolo Oboe Bassoon English Horn Music Keyboard
I first started teaching in 2019 after finishing up the college portion of my time at Temple. I am a big fan of online teaching and even coming to others' homes for lessons. As someone who is avid in getting to as many different styles of music as possible, I always try to keep my students open in learning whatever they wish to learn, on top of making sure they understand the fundamentals of their instruments and regular practice.

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Recorder Oboe English Horn
I also have served as a substitute oboe instructor with the University of Richmond. My students have gotten seats in the All State Band and do well in their school bands because I have a lot of experience with auditioning and I always encourage students to at least try! Playing music is very rewarding and I try to find a style that appeals to my students so they can connect to what they are doing and feel excited about taking on challenges. Read More

I am a flutist, improviser, and composer with a bachelors degree in Jazz Flute Performance from the New England Conservatory of music. As a past member of the Philadelphia Youth Orchestra and a Bruce Montgomery Foundation Springboard Grant winner, I am experienced in classical competitions at the middle/high school level. At NEC, I worked in both the jazz and classical department, studying with great musicians such as Renee Krimsier, Jerry Bergonzi, Frank Carlberg, Joe Morris, and Jason Moran. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Flute Harmonica Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I first started teaching as a teenager, helping out in a religious classroom on the weekends during the year, and as a summer camp counselor in the summer. I have taught many creative subjects, including music, poetry, and song writing. I have always loved teaching, learning is one of the greatest ways two minds can connect - of any age! I really love music theory, and enjoy using whatever style of music my students are interested in as a pathway to gain more knowledge and understanding of the music my students play. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet
In my teaching I try to be sensitive to the individual student's needs and desires while stressing the discipline required to reach these goals. The study of music is often a progression of 'ah-ha!' moments where the student experiences an understanding of something they may have struggled with for a period of time. It is the responsibility of a teacher to leaad students to these breakthroughs by presenting a variety of approaches to something a student finds difficult while continuing to motivate them.

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.
