A lifelong musician and lover of teaching, I've been a student of music since I was a toddler on the Violin. Growing up in a musical household I was introduced to a variety of musical styles.

After graduation I moved to New Orleans thanks to a post-Katrina service trip that introduced me to my new home. Read More

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More

I've seen the face of an 80 year old grasping the ukulele and finally getting to hear himself playing his own songs, and seeing the glow in his eyes like a child.

My teaching experience may not be centered around lessons in a private studio, but it is still centered around music and the individual student. I have extensive experience tutoring students in music theory at all levels (from basic reading comprehension to large-scale analysis of contemporary works), and through that I have come to understand that knowing the student as an individual and understanding their desires and motivations are the key to connecting with one and teaching successfully.

Instruments: Flute

I have been a teacher and a leader for over 10 years. My forte is one on one interaction, and it is incredibly gratifying to see a student grasp and understand the concepts presented. I have found that life skills are under-appreciated in formal training but invaluable for success. The way we play music is informed not only by our knowledge of theory and our preparation of the notes, but also by our habits, health, and personal experience. Read More
