Flute/Expert Profile


Ask A Question

Expertise

I feel very comfortable answering questions regarding classical music. This includes performance of music on woodwind instruments (flute, saxophone, clarinet, oboe, bassoon), theory, history, etc. I am happy to answer questions about careers in music and collegiate study. I am also able to answer simple questions in the field of Audio Engineering.

Experience in the area

I have played the flute for 20 years. I currently teach all woodwind instruments, conduct a concert band, and teach music ed and music technology courses at a small liberal arts college. I am very active in professional music organizations, and I have had several students go on to successful careers.

Organizations

I am currently a member of the Conductor's Guild, the National Flute Association, the American String Teachers Association, West Virginia Music Educators Association, and Ohio Music Educators Association.

Education/Credentials

I hold a bachelor of music education degree from The Ohio State University along with a business minor. I have a Master of Music degree from the same institution. I am currently a professor at a small liberal arts college.
