About

My primary goal is to share and foster a love of music through playing the flute and piccolo.  Private lessons allow students to move at their own pace, which is generally faster than what is possible in band classes at school.  This means that students can start the school year with a distinct advantage in their ensembles, often assuming leadership roles in class. My students successfully audition into our local Junior Orchestra and Youth Symphony, receive high ratings at Solo and Ensemble competitions, and are able to win scholarships to help fund their college educations.  My intent is to help all of my students reach or surpass the level of playing necessary to achieve their individual musical goals, ultimately resulting in a certain level of independence.  This educational process is rich and rewarding.
