To love music is to love life. To teach music is to give life and to play music is to share life with others. I was fortunate to receive the gift of music at an early age and my passion is to share this gift with others. I will provide a learning environment that is professional and nurturing with the highest artistic standards. Regardless of your level, experience, or goals my mission is to help all of my students achieve success in music for a lifetime. Read More

Instruments: Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet

I use "Saxophone method #1 and #2 for Tenor Sax.. I work for the student to achieve a good tone and play in tune. For piano I teach by a chord approach. This is not a classical piano lesson approach. I will teach you all the notes on the piano and how to read them on the music staff.. This is very helpful for a guitar player who wants to learn chords on the keyboard to play or write songs.

I tailor my instruction to the students wants, needs and abilities. It's a creative environment every week and I try to make it fun and rewarding.

Learning the basic elements of their chosen instrument is a place to begin. Read More

Instruments: Flute

During the past 15 years, I have taught students ranging from the earliest beginners to very advanced college flute majors.   I have varied pedagogical experiences from working with young children with autism and dyslexia to teaching college flute majors.  This diverse range of experience allows me to tailor my teaching to meet each individual student's goals.  I find all levels of students to be equally challenging and rewarding!  Previous private flute teaching experiences of mine include teaching at the Musical Achievement Program in the Toledo public schools, teaching secondary flute lessons at Bowling Green State University (BGSU), CalArts, and Oberlin, and substitute teaching flute majors at BGSU.
