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: All flute lessons are currently being offered online via Zoom, Skype and Facebook.   While it is a different experience connecting with my students in this manner, I am finding that it opens up new lines of communication and offers a fresh perspective.  When the current situation with Covid-19 is resolved, I will return to teaching on Whidbey Island (Oak Harbor and Langley) and at Kennelly Keys Music In Anacortes, but I will continue to offer online flute lessons to those who prefer it or are unable to travel to one of the studios.
