My extensive teaching background and multiple music degrees serve as the backdrop for my passions as a teacher. My overall positive, encouraging-yet-firm nature is combined with designing each lesson toward the goals of the individual student. I welcome both casual music-lovers who want to improve, as well as students who desire to gain a more competitive edge. Rooted in traditional methods, having been formally trained from the perspective of both French and American styles, I strive to tailor my methods to each of my client's needs. While assessing students and guiding them along the path that we carve together, I use core fundamentals, such as tone and standard technique exercises, to show students how they can explore their musical development and become much more than a flutist, but a whole musician. Lessons should be fun and gratifying, and I hold students to a high standard while providing a supportive and cheerful environment for learning.
