Summer 2025 Special: Join me for 4 flute, piccolo, and/or piano lessons this summer and your 5th lesson is free!* Flexible day, evening, and weekend scheduling accommodates camp, work, and summer fun while progressing your music skills! (*All 5 lessons of the same time duration must be completed by September 16. Sorry, this offer has no cash value or substitutions).
Flute, piccolo, and piano students from absolute beginners through advanced musicians ages 10- 110 are welcome! I began teaching in 1991 under the mentorship of my teacher and bring a warm, encouraging approach to teaching stemming from my training in positive psychology (Harvard), human behavior (University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill), music pedagogy (Royal Conservatory of Music), and a Master's degree in Education.
I have worked with students at all levels of the RCM curriculum, from absolute beginners to students auditioning for university music programs. A few of my own performance highlights include: invited performer at the White House, studies with with Sir James Galway, Dr. Books de Wetter-Smith, and Dr. William Montgomery; successful auditions for the mid-Atlantic Flute Choir, National Flute Association ensembles and master classes, All-State Bands, (multiple years), and a variety of solo and ensemble adjudicated performances. Post-pandemic I have enjoyed performing with the Richmond Hill Philharmonic, Oshawa Little Theatre, the North York Concert Band, and others.
