With 10 years of teaching experience under my belt, I can tailor lessons to meet the needs of any student. My current students range from age 5 through adult, and all of them genuinely love to play the flute! I like to give my students the opportunity to perform in biannual recitals, a fun experience for everyone involved. 

As a performer of both classical and contemporary music, I give my students a taste of modern techniques such as improvising, singing and playing, and multiphonics in addition to traditional flute playing and repertoire. I believe in the idea of the "modern flutist", meaning the flutist who is trained to be versatile, artistic, and inquisitive from the get-go. 

Past faculty positions include Douglaston School of Music (Queens), Walnut Valley School District (So.Cal), and Irvine Art and Music (So. Cal). 

I currently teach through Brooklyn Music Lessons and maintain my own studio as well. This September I will begin a doctoral program in flute performance at The Graduate Center.  

My main influences as a teacher are John Barcellona (author of the "Flute Doctor" series in Flute Talk Magazine) and Robert Dick (author of the seminal work, "The Other Flute").
