Introduction: I received my formal education in flute performance at the Oberlin Conservatory (B.Mus) and California Institute of the Arts -- CalArts (M.F.A.). During the past 10 years, I have taught students ranging from the earliest beginners to very advanced college flute majors. 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 doing substitute teaching flute majors at BGSU.
I believe that playing the flute is a complex craft and is an art form. I want all of my students to become better musicians, better artists, and better thinkers as a result of their flute studies.
