I am a multi-instrumental teaching, recording, performing, and touring musician from Southern California. Since I started playing flute in 6th grade, I knew that I wanted to be a music educator and began playing any instrument I could get my hands on. From school orchestras and jazz bands to private lessons, I became a versatile multi-instrumentalist teacher and professional performer on guitar, bass, piano, flute, and voice. My education continued at Citrus College and in the Los Angeles music scene where I honed my performance and teaching skills as a local musician, national and international touring performer, recording producer and artist, and teaching artist with private lessons and in during- and after-school programs.

I take a personal approach to the students aspirations. The starting point for all students is, "What music do you enjoy?" This gives me a sense of what they are listening to and maybe even what they would like to sound like. I then sculp a curriculum based on the ability of the student and his/her wants and needs. If I am teaching a beginning woodwind player I focus on embouchure and sound production. Read More

I custom-tailor my lesson plans for each individual student based on a variety of factors such as prior playing experience (if applicable), student's desired goals and outcomes, student availability, etc. A typical first lesson with me will be spent going over what goals you want to achieve and how I can best serve you in reaching those goals by working with you to develop an effective plan of practice. In addition, I will share the knowledge and expertise I have gathered from my teachers and my own musical career to ensure that you have all of the tools and resources you need to start seeing the results you want.

I never assume a student cannot succeed. Progress comes quickly with a variety of songs supported by successive exercises and methodology. Parental involvement is highly recommended and I try to work with parents to determine motivational techniques. I have found that students need a regular practice time 4 to 5 times a week, even if it is only a few minutes at a time; but, hopefully, we can find music that they like to sit down and play.

For junior high and beginning students I like to go over proper embouchure, rhythm counting and creating a solid sound. After that's established I like to get started on technique exercises, scale practice and practice methods for their own benefit outside of lessons. The junior high students will continue to start learning the circle of 5ths, both student levels will work out of the Standards of Excellence Green book or Red book. Read More
