I have been playing the flute for nine years and the piccolo for two and have been in a variety of bands and orchestras. I currently play in Montana Technological University's pep and concert bands and intend to audition for the Butte Symphony Orchestra when they resume rehearsals. In high school, I placed first chair in my school's audition band my Senior year, placed second chair in the audition band my Junior year, participated in the non-audition band, was handpicked by my director to play flute and piccolo for our school's musical, was a marching band section leader for two consecutive years, and occasionally played with the school's orchestra and choir. I find playing music to be incredibly peaceful and relaxing, as well as enjoyable, fun, and exciting! I would love to be able to pass on some of my knowledge to you so that we're able to have fun together! I do best with teaching beginners and intermediate-level students in a patient and goal-oriented environment. During our first lesson, we will evaluate how much you know already as well as discuss what you would like to work on (pieces, technical concepts, etc.).
