Instruments: Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet

As a product of "the system", I generally teach "the system". By that I mean that in the education system here in Texas has been teaching this same way for years and years. After a year or two learning the fundamentals, scales and phrasing, then one gets to study the Ferling etudes for region band and a few basic solos for solo and ensemble. Depending on what the student wants to learn, I can teach anything they want. Read More

My methodology is inspired by the Suzuki method, which believes that learning music is similar to how humans learn to speak first, and write later. In the end, music is a type of language.

As a result, my lessons are catered distinctively to each unique student, but what they all have in common will be a passion for music! Read More

I have taught flute for 4 years to people of all ages -I have taught children, high school students, pre-college division music majors, college students and adult amateurs - students who have played in school and community orchestras, churches and for their own personal enjoyment.

I am a recent graduate from the Blair School of Music at Vanderbilt University with a Bachelor of Music degree in Flute Performance. I had a few elementary-age students at a small nearby music school during my four years there and I really enjoyed it!
