Teaching Style
I would like to impart my gift and knowledge with anyone who wants to take flute lessons.
Fundamentals.
Mastering the basics (posture, breathing, tone, technique, articulation, rhythm, intonation) may take more time to establish fundamentals but will speed up the learning process later in music development.
Practice.
It is important to teach the student how to become their own teacher so that they understand how to practice efficiently at home.
Active Performer.
The student benefits from hearing first hand information from someone “in the scene” and regularly hearing the way I play and demonstrate. This will help them develop proper tone and musical concepts.
