Philosophy 

As a flute teacher, my goal is to spark a lifelong appreciation for music in my students through an interdisciplinary approach, informed by my studies in neuroscience, psychology, music theory, and music history. I believe that music education extends far beyond the confines of learning to play an instrument; it is a powerful tool for personal development and intellectual growth.

Tailored Instruction

Drawing from neuroscience, I integrate an understanding of how the brain processes information differently depending upon the individual. This scientific perspective helps me tailor my teaching methods to enhance the learning experience for each student. I incorporate psychological principles to create a supportive and motivating learning environment, recognizing the individuality of each student and adapting to their unique learning styles and needs. Additionally, by weaving historical context into lessons, I aim to deepen students' appreciation for the cultural richness of the music they study, fostering a broader understanding of its significance.
