For beginner students, I typically start with Rubank Elemetary Method for Flute. However, if you have a different method book, I am happy to teach using that book, if I find it to be a credible source. For intermediate to advanced students, I prefer to use the Rubank Advanced Method Books 1 and 2, but again, if you have your own books, if I approve, we can use those books instead. I will be flexible with you and teach to your skills and experience with method books and repertoire that will help you improve your technique. Read More

My father even had a music studio in the house. I would watch my father’s band rehearse and listen to many of his music students’ lessons.

As a result, I always studied with esteemed music teachers. I attended and obtained both of my degrees from top rated, prestigious universities. Read More

We will also dive into deeper topics such as tone color, articulation style, and period specific styles. Read More
