Hi! I am a music performer and teacher based in northern Utah. I have lots of experience teaching a variety of music subjects! I am most experienced with teaching band, choir, music theory, and music history, but I also feel very comfortable teaching percussion, guitar, and music technology/production.
My favorite subject to teach is actually music theory! It's such a fascinating subject, and is both frustratingly challenging and insanely rewarding! I have several years of experience...

My favorite subject to teach is actually music theory! It's such a fascinating subject, and is both frustratingly challenging and insanely rewarding! I have several years of experience teaching all levels of theory from beginning to AP Music Theory. I also love teaching music history and musicology, and these are subjects I study for my own personal interest.
My main instruments are flute and saxophone, and I hold a Bachelor's degree in Instrumental Performance on Flute. I have many years of professional performing experience on flute, piccolo, and sax. For flute, my emphasis is in classical playing, and I am assistant principal flute for Chamber Orchestra Ogden, which is a semi-pro symphony in my area. For sax, I have some classical experience, but I primarily play jazz, and I am a member of the Riverton Jazz Band where I play tenor sax. I often utilize flute in jazz, and am comfortable teaching jazz and classical styles on both flute and sax. I have many years of experience with private instruction on flute, sax, and music theory.
I have spent many years learning and teaching percussion alongside my husband who is also a music teacher and professional percussionist, so my skills with percussion are pretty strong. Additionally, I have taught both classical and rock/pop guitar for the last six years, at the beginning and intermediate levels. I play guitar and piano as a hobby, specializing in contemporary worship and pop styles, which I love teaching for guitar and piano.
In addition to my Bachelor's degree, I hold a Master's degree in Music Education, and I have quite a lot of teaching experience.
I would love to help you reach your music goals in any of these areas, so I hope we can work together!
