I began teaching music when I was in high school. I love being able to share my love for my instruments with others. While in high school I provided piano lessons to younger siblings of friends. Also in high school, I provided flute lessons to middle school and elementary band students. After graduating, I have provided lessons to children of friends. I look forward to being able to expand my reach to students I don't know, and spread my passion and enthusiasm onto the next generation of musicians.

For beginners on the piano, I use Alfred's Basic Piano Books. Once a student has mastered the fundamentals, I like to encourage them to find a solo piece that they would like to learn. It could be classical, it could be contemporary, but I always would like them to choose a piece they are excited to learn how to play. For my flute students I like to use essential elements for beginners. For more advanced students, I will evaluate their level and choose which books on fundamentals are the right fit. Like with the piano, I will encourge my students, once they have a firm grasp on the fundamentals, to choose some solo pieces to work on that they are interested in learning.
