Teaching

With over twenty years of teaching experience and two degrees in flute performance, I am a highly-qualified instructor of the flute, piccolo and alto flute. I teach students of all ages and levels - small children, teenagers, adults. I also teach the fife?a small, inexpensive instrument that is perfect for children's small hands - a great instrument for little beginners.

My students learn solid flute technique and basic music theory while having fun learning to play the music they like, whether its the classical repertoire, popular favorites or contemporary extended technique. Students also get the chance to meet and perform with other flutists, both in my studio and through events that I host in the community, such as student recitals at the Noe Valley Ministry and flute caroling during the holiday season. My students have been accepted to competitive high school and university level music programs. I teach in my Noe Valley studio.

In addition to private lessons I've taught classroom flute at San Francisco's Rosa Parks and John Swett grammar schools for the Hills Project and at Lipman Middle School in Brisbane.
