~ NOT ACCEPTING STUDENTS AT
THIS TIME ~
I'm not teaching much these days. I don't
have a teaching space. My dog thinks
visitors are intruders. Being a traveling
teacher wastes my time in traffic. I've
taught online via Zoom. It's not ideal to
say the least. So, unless the student lives
within a 1 mile radius of me or there's a teaching
space at a place we're both scheduled to be
anyway, I'm just not teaching. My time is
focused on composition and performing. If
that changes, I'll post about it. Until
then, the play along duets below (free on YouTube)
are available for anyone.

The play along duets
began as a COVID-era teaching tool for online
students since internet lag time prevents live
duets. This project grew beyond my own
studio to connect with players around the
world. The premise is simple. I choose
short pieces in the public domain. (No
copyright violations!) I play each part to a
metronome with the music on the screen. The
viewer can play the missing part. It's a
learning tool that can be used by players
anywhere. So, I ask you:
Won't you play a
duet with me?

NOT ACCEPTING STUDENTS AT THIS TIME
If this changes, information is below, subject to
update
**Every student should have a METRONOME**
The teaching studio is flexible and adult students
are encouraged. Lessons can be weekly, short
term, or coaching as needed. My goal is to
help students become as independent as
possible. We will discuss practice
techniques and available resources. Duets
are an important part of my process. They
teach steadiness and listening in a way solo
practice never will. There is a playlist of
duet videos for that purpose. It is
available to everyone.
Flute lessons can start with any method book(s)
you own and build from there. Each program
of study will be tailored to the student's needs
and goals. This can mean ensemble music,
audition preparation, or simply music for
fun. Music fits into everyone's life
differently and all are valid perspectives.
My job is to meet you at your skill level and help
guide you in the direction you want to go.
