I have been teaching students very successfully in public and private elementary, middle, and high schools as well as colleges and universities since 2002. I have been a Yamaha Performing Flute/Piccolo Artist and Clinician since 2005, performing extensively on flute, piccolo, alto flute and bass flute around the world and have been helping Flutists of all ages and at all performance levels using my time-tested techniques - from beginner to advanced, nationwide - so that they may become the best flutist they can be.
