Music education is instrumental for a student’s growth, and I appreciate you choosing me to toot some flute! With my students, I believe the most growth comes from environments where the student and teacher share a mutual respect for each other. I teach with a non-judgmental, caring and honest environment and I tailor to each student’s needs, while keeping their personal goals and objectives in mind. I make sure my students feel respected, cared for and motivated at the conclusion of each lesson. I also believe that students should feel open to talk to me about any struggles that interfere with their playing mindset.
