Instruments: Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet

My teaching experience started in college 27 years ago and I have maintained a consistent student roster since 2004. Encouraging a regular practice schedule is a key point especially for younger students in progressing and gaining a passion for the instrument. I've discovered offering a balance of classical, and modern music are the best combo for helping students maintain motivation to practice and learn. If a student isn't having fun in their lessons, then I am not doing my job well. Read More

Music has always been a profound source of inspiration in my life, and I feel deeply that it has the power to heal the world. Keeping it alive through teaching and performing has been a great joy and privilege as I watch students grow and become enriched from the immense benefits that studying and playing music provides. I have had the good fortune to perform internationally with virtuoso musicians, and have been witness to the incredible healing powers of music by performing in non traditional settings such as hospitals and orphanages as well as onstage.

I have been playing the flute since I was 11 years old. I began studying with a nice lady name Marsha Stokes who gave me a great start on my technique. I have since studied with Rebecca Fuller, Dr. Virginia Stitt, Dr. Nadine Luke, and Mercedes Smith (principal of the Utah Symphony). I completed a music minor at Southern Utah University, but switched to a music major when I transferred to Brigham Young University-Idaho. Read More

I was interested in teaching from a young age; I loved to play school with my friends. I started tutoring in high school, as well as teaching private flute lessons. I have taught private lessons since 2017 and have loved every moment of it, both with beginners and with more advanced high school students. I began working as a marching band technician in 2021 and have since worked for numerous schools. Spending time with these students of all ages and interests brings me great joy, and I know that further pursuance of music will bring the same fulfillment to students for years to come. Read More

I encourage my students to practice smart instead of long. This is especially important for young students. I teach my students to self-evaluate their own playing.

I enjoy celebrating success. I feel that it is important to let the student set the pace and then encourage from there. Read More
