I am friendly, positive, and upbeat in my teaching, yet I also maintain high standards for my students. I have a very warm personality and and very patient with my students, but of course I challenge them as well! I also put on a recital for my students at least twice a year so that their friends and family can appreciate the hard work they have put into their musical development. Performance venues for my students have included retirement homes, universities, and community centers. I encourage chamber music and organize for my students to play duets, trios, or quartets with each other. *** Studio Equipment *** Music stand, keyboard *** Travel Equipment *** The student must have a music stand and instrument. *** Specialties *** I am a classically trained flutist and pianist.
