I love music and I especially love playing the flute!  It is my desire as a teacher to instill that love in my students.  My approach is positive, encouraging, and individually tailored to each student.  I enjoy working with flutists of all ages, at all levels.  As a certified Suzuki flute instructor, my teaching style is a blend of both the traditional and the Suzuki methods.

Although I love to start the young beginners on their musical journey, I also enjoy working with the more advanced high school and college students, adults as beginners, or those adults wishing to take up where they left off years ago.  I am primarily a "classical" musician, and my teaching reflects that.  My experience with performance and competitions gives me added insight in preparing young flutists for recitals, competitions and auditions.

Please Note:  I am primarily teaching in person at my home in Oak Harbor, WA.  If you are not local, or are not able to travel to lessons, I also welcome students via Zoom and FaceTime.
