About
Hello music lovers 🎶🎹 It would be my pleasure to begin your music journey as your instructor. I have been teaching for 58 years & never grow tired of it. My students have always received the best methods according to their needs/desires & always enjoy my lessons..I encourage & motivate so practicing is a welcome pleasure! My Recitals develop confidence in public performance skills.
I have performed with many outside Orchestras in So. California on flute & piccolo including a Solo concerto by Chaminade. I have played under the direction of Leonard Bernstein, which was an awesome experience. I received 3 scholarships for Music camp at Idyllwild & Arrowbear.I was also in the La Canada H.S.marching band & Pop bands which included many performances. I have accompanied for many soloists at Sac.State & elsewhere in this area. I also perform at weddings, parties, church choir & school plays.
I carry an Associate degree in music & encourage my students to continue their education also. Music is a great way to express your inner self, in a way you have never felt possible before. Music begins where Words end.🎶
I love to watch my students when their light turns on!!🎶🎶 My lessons are fun & motivating.
I am open to teach any method/style you desire to learn. I encourage learning the theory of music, which develops skills to understand what you are playing & even to compose your own! I introduce Scales/Chords from your 1st lesson. Look forward to meeting you & begin your music journey.
