Instruments: Flute

I like to be able to tailor my methods and materials for each individual student, so that I can address each students unique challenges on the flute, as well each students musical interests. It is very important to me that all my students are enjoying what they are playing. Having fun is an essential part of the process. While in all my lessons I will teach core concepts for proper flute technique and basic music theory proficiency, the rest is unique to student, depending on skill level, age, and learning style Read More

Instruments: Violin

I have been teaching for almost 20 years and have taught people as young as four years old to amateur adults, as well as from beginners to highly advanced pre-conservatory students, and people from all different backgrounds. Music is such a personal journey for each person, and my teaching philosophy is centered around what the student needs and wants. My ideal student is one who shows a daily devotion to the strengthening of necessary muscle groups, to students who are eager to learn and to try new things, and students who are motivated to accomplish goals that we set together!

Instruments: Trumpet

I believe that no two students are alike; for each of my students, I create an individual, custom-tailored plan and routine to help solve the most challenging issues in their playing. I advise my students to keep a practice log and write down everything they accomplish and challenges they notice in a practice session. What went well? What didn't go so well? Writing things down provides us with a timeline of progression to see what works and what doesn’t. Read More
