Thanks for visiting my profile. I look forward to talking with you about our shared heart’s desire – music! I offer lessons in voice, piano and flute - including modern and simple - and workshops in music theory, improvisation, ensemble playing, and vocal arts. All ages and levels of music student are welcome. Comprehensive, holistic music making skills that last a lifetime are what I wish to share with you.
In my studio, you’ll learn: the language of music and of your instrument, effective practicing, excellent breath management and body alignment, consistently beautiful tone production, strong and reliable technique. Vocalists, pianists and flutists learn to play in ensemble, improvise, listen well and critically, prepare for auditions, conquer intonation problems, and deepen understanding of rhythm through drumming – all in harmony with your goals.
