Want to find your own voice as a flutist? Not sure how to start, and need some guidance with your flute technique?
Music is an international language that can be shared all over the world without words. So what is music to you? As a musician I believe music is a vehicle of expression that can be produced with vibrato, different tone colors and shades of the rainbow.
So what are your intentions with learning the flute?
Where does inspiration come from when learning music?

Inspiration is a major element in my teaching style. By identifying the needs of each student we find a reason of why to practice! My personal inspiration to become an even better flutist happened several years ago when I was introduced to internationally well-known flutist and educator Keith Underwood. Mr. Underwood has helped me discover my own voice and sound through a collection of teaching techniques ranging from articulation to buzzing.
Hearing the results of these techniques
were mind-boggling and gave me the motivation
to practice, practice, practice!!

The goal for my students is to be able to enjoy music and apply what they learn in flute lessons in life. Being dedicated to practice can be applied in many other fields. I understand that all my students may not become professional musicians. However, I want them to apply the teachings and skills that they learn in lessons to important life skills like making a schedule, being productive with their practicing, and making small achievable goals for themselves.
My lessons include assorted exercises such as buzzing and the use of breathing bags and breathing machines. Having students record themselves as they practice allows them to hear to improve their sound and rhythm. In my lessons, I enjoy being creative and working in a fun atmosphere. As a teacher, I encourage and support students to audition for higher-level placement ensembles and competitions.

My teaching style focuses on technique with devices of coffee stirrers, buzzing, breathing bags to make the sound production on the flute as full and clear as possible. I talk about body awareness and how to use air efficiently.
