About
I tailor each lesson to a students needs. I can progress as quickly or as slowly as a student needs.
I love seeing students get excited about learning to play music. It's amazing to me to watch them grow as musicians and individuals.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
When I meet a new student, I take the first lesson to get to know them and learn where they are musically. Then I know where to start from.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I attended DePaul University and did a double major in Flute Performance and Music Education. I previously was a band director for 15 years, and I am now just teaching private lessons.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I charge $25 for a 30 minute lesson and ask that you pay for the whole month of lessons at the first lesson of the month. If you need to miss a lesson, we can schedule a make-up lesson.
How did you get started teaching?
I began with teaching 4th-8th grade band at 3 different schools. It was a great first job and I learned quite a lot.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have taught students from 4th-12th grade to play band instruments and I specialize in flute and clarinet.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I have been playing flute for 29 years and clarinet for 18 years. I also play in the Wheaton Municipal Band in the summer and I play in the pit for musicals. I have many years of experience teaching students from the beginning all the way through high school.
