About Me
I began playing the flute in the 6th grade, 30 years ago this year! Throughout these past three decades, I have studied and performed with a passion, and developed a strong desire to share my love of the flute with others. I have been fortunate to teach several hundred aspiring flutists, both privately and in public school settings, and that number continues to grow. Now in its 4th year, the Evesham Flute Studio has a roster of 35 students that study year-round, as well as the many that come just for workshops and summer camps. I hope that you will be inspired to join me on this lifelong journey - come play and learn with me!
