Before we begin, I'd just like to say - I have been giving Private Flute Lessons for more than 40 years, and feel that I can prevent bad habits before they begin!! Also that I teach at my Apartment in Thousand Oaks on most days, and also at my daughter's home in Agoura Hills on Wednesdays. Plus- I have several Reviews from former students that were sent to a different teaching site that I would be happy to share with you.

I became a member of the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the age of 20 and played under the direction of more than 30 of the world's greatest conductors, as the current conductor was on leave! I have been giving private flute lessons since I was in High School, and College. I have a Bachelor of Music Education Degree from Drake University, School of Fine Arts.

I have performed as soloist with orchestras, and done studio work (First Flute on "Dr. Zhivago"), and taught at Cal State LA, Pierce College, CSUN, and head of the Wind Department of the Southern Calif. Conservatory of Music for 30 years. I founded and still direct The Conejo Valley Flute Society (Flute Choir) in 2002- we are beginning our 16th season.

I enjoy teaching all levels, all ages. I offer 3 or 4 Recitals a year, and am a member of MTAC (Music Teachers Association of Calif), National Flute Association, and Professional Musicians Local 47. I am head of the Wind Department for my local Branch Of MTAC (Conejo Valley), And I have been an adjudicator for the Certificate of Merit program for 15 years.

I enjoy teaching and helping each student become the best they can be. Many of my students have held first chair positions, and some former students are now playing professionally!
