Fun Facts

Music was a hobby of mine all throughout my childhood and early education. To this day, I still long to learn new instruments as soon as I can get my hands on one.
Languages are another passion of mine. There are so many subtle nuances to every language, making them unique and powerful in their own way.
To me, music in a universal language, bringing people of all ages, races, cultures, and learning abilities together.

About Me

I got my Bachelor's Degree from Florida State University in music, with a Minor in Japanese, graduating in April of 2011 with a GPA above 3.0.
I had the distinct honor of being a rookie soloist for the Marching Chiefs, and again as a performer in the School of Music's yearly showcase, The Prism Concert.
Long term goals are to become a published fantasy author, and to hopefully teach Music in Special Education

Experience

I've taught music lessons on the flute to several students at the middle school level, as well as helping prepare a few for their collegiate music auditions. I was a woodwind clinician for several years at Wakulla High School in Florida. During my last year of undergraduate study, I was a weekly volunteer for a chorus made up of Special Education students of various ages, and it solidified and reinforced just how powerful music education can be.

Approach

I approach music tutoring from an assortment of angles, in an attempt to create well rounded musicians. I teach, theory, ear training, come up with individual practice plans for each student's need.
When studying languages, I believe that immersion is the most effective method of retention. I believe that speaking a language conversationally is incredibly useful in understanding a particular language's natural flow.
