BIO:
I am the director and owner of Allegro Music Academy, teaching flute in Puyallup, Washington. I also served as a member of both the Orchestra on Temple Square and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. I have also produced a CD collection of lullabies for young children on my own label, Locrydian Records. I have presented information about teaching music based on principles of the Gordon Music Learning Theory at the National Flute Convention and the WSMTA. I have also been a visiting professor of flute at Brigham Young University. I currently play piccolo for the Bremerton Symphony and teach music to the young and young-at-heart in my Puyallup home, including my four children, three years old and younger.
