I am a recent graduate of DePaul University School of Music for my bachelor's and am further continuing my graduate studies at the Bienen School of Music at Northwestern University. I am very passionate about helping a student find their own voice while making music. Music is something that is so special and I truly believe that everyone deserves to experience it. I am open to teaching all ages and am very flexible with days and times that I teach. I cater to what the student wants to get out of lessons and will focus on specific areas that need greater attention to further enhance their playing ability.

Students will learn notes, technique, pieces, performance skills and sightreading.

With my 15 years of experience and a Bachelor's and Master's degree in flute performance, you can expect lessons from me to be the highest quality. I have years of experience teaching dozens of flutists of all ages, and I make sure to adjust my teaching to the needs of each individual student. Everybody is different, so I want to make sure students get the most out of their experience! Young beginners will begin in methods such as Patricia George's "Flute 101" series or Kathleen Blocki's flute method series, while intermediate and advanced players will have a more comprehensive approach with studies in tone development, technique enhancement, etudes, and solo repertoire.

I have studied with very many wonderful professors over the past 12 years. Music is my passion and I will help anyone who is dedicated to learn the beautiful instrument.

As a devoted instructor, I have a passion for teaching students of all levels. I use knowledge I learned from my flute professors and create a teaching style based on each of my students' individual needs. I value the student being able to create their own ideas and suggestions.

I cover topics from developing proper form to producing a beautiful tone, creating own musical ideas, performing with self-confidence, developing a helpful warm-up, and preparing for an audition.
