My passion lies in music and education. I have spent numerous years as a private instructor specializing in the modern and baroque flute. From beginners to advanced students, my lessons cater to individual needs and goals, with a focus on developing tone, technique, and breathing skills. Moreover, students are further encouraged to contemplate the music they play. During my undergraduate studies, I developed an interest in Historical Performance, where music is studied in the context of past social, political, and cultural circumstances. Equipped with this understanding, I can provide a distinctive perspective to music education by teaching students how to connect musical pieces to their historical contexts. This vital skill provides a more profound appreciation of music, be it classical or popular, and enables students to think critically about art. I cherish teaching, watching students flourish both as individuals and musicians. I am a committed musician who strongly believes that music must be accessible to everyone. It is a wondrous gift to empower students to create music for themselves.
