So I endeavor to strive first for great sound. 2. Counting: Furthermore, horn players play in horn sections about 90% of the time. Therefore, it is critical that the horn player count extremely accurate so that the section is tight. Also, on live shows or recording sessions, accuracy and execution is imperative for a good performance. So I lay a counting foundation and delve deeply into the subject. Sound and Counting, then everything else. Read More

I started teaching flute more than a decade ago, and hope to share the gift of learning this universal language for years to come. I have interned for leading intellectual property and entertainment lawyers, including the former director of business affairs for Sony, the late Steve Gordon. My volunteer management experiences were filled with helping artists educate children in their respective and diverse communities. Then, after law school working for two bay area nonprofit organizations, one that focused on nonprofit compliance on an international scale and the other that is formed to dismantle systems of oppression through organizing, advocacy, and litigation, I have dovetailed my skills and beliefs into both working for civil rights, and teaching flute in expanding the reach of music education nationwide.

It is important and rewarding for both me and the student to have a passion for their music and learning. Because of this, it is important to me that each student sets their own goals. I will encourage and help the students to set high but realistic goals that will bring them enthusiasm for the music. I try to bring inspiration and a lot of guidance to each student. And I love to have fun. Read More

The key ingredient to learning is interest. I believe that my students need to have an interest in what they are playing so that they can keep their minds and spirits engaged. Rudiments require attention and practice, but there is much more to learning an instrument than just technique; passion also needs nurturing. If a student is really in to Star Wars, for example, I will gladly incorporate the 'Imperial March' into their rudimentary studies. Read More

I love seeing my students grow in their knowledge and appreciation of music! Excellence is rewarding, and I teach the process to get there from whatever level we begin. I use positive reinforcement and notice what the student is doing right. Then, I give critique and an action plan to improve performance. It feels good for the student and teacher when they learn the methods to break down what is currently difficult into smaller pieces so that it is both manageable and possible to go further than they thought.

For flute, I use method books by Trevor Wye. If the student is a beginner, I will start the student with the Beginners Book for the Flute by Trevor Wye (Book 1 and 2.) Once the student is finished with these books, the student is now ready for the intermediate and advanced books by Trevor Wye. It is a set of 5 books that focuses on each aspect of the flute, such as tone and technique. Read More

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
This is definitely one of the top questions I get from parents. If your child is consistently showing the desire to either sing or play an instrument, then it’s probably a good time to introduce them to a coach. By consistently, I mean for more than a couple of months. Children are fickle so you want to be patient to see if there is a persistence with their passion for a specific instrument.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I have been asked this question many times, and my answer is always the same, I didn’t choose my instrument, it chose me! I started singing at a very early age. My mom was the first one to notice my affinity for music and singing when I was five years old. One day while riding with her in our car, I started singing a song on the radio, and then started singing the harmony parts to the chorus. She immediately stopped the car, turned down the radio and asked me to sing a song with her. I can’t remember which one it was, but she then asked me to sing the harmony with her and I did. From that moment forward, she lovingly cultivated my passion for singing and the rest is history!
When will I start to see results?
You will start to see results after the very first vocal lesson guaranteed. The method that I coach is nothing short of incredible. It made me a more powerful, controlled, dynamic and conditioned vocalist, and it will do the very same thing for you!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The advice I give all of my students for practicing effectively is One: Make sure you are practicing at least five days a week and optimally around the same time each day for scheduling consistency. Two: Always rest between exercises. Just like in the gym, give your muscles a chance to relax, and your brain a chance to allow the scope of the exercise to sink in between reps. 30 seconds is plenty of time between exercises. Three: Always start with a reasonable amount of time spent on each exercise before moving to the next. I have found that five minutes per exercise with 30 second rests in between is plenty to start with. As you become more comfortable and confident with the exercises, you can start adding time to each one for conditioning. Four: never let passion override your reason. Always be present in the moment to realize when your muscles are becoming fatigued. Each practice session will have an inflection point. Simply stop when you become overly tired.
