Hi, I’m Megan!

I have been teaching flute in various settings since 2018, including group classes and sectionals, music camps, and one-on-one sessions.

I hold a degree in both flute performance and music education and hold a Washington State K-12 teaching certification endorsed in both general music and instrumental music.

I participate in continued learning and WMEA/NAfME conferences to keep up my certification, and have also privately studied Alexander Technique and taken classes that include learning about body mapping and how those techniques relate to playing the flute ergonomically without injury.

I've also had the added benefit of getting to work personally with over a thousand students while teaching music in the public schools, giving me the opportunity to work with diverse populations and to gain professional development on social-emotional ways of teaching and learning.

I believe in a holistic approach to learning the flute, understanding that it is a whole-body activity, that it should never be painful, and that one of the keys to playing freely without tension or pain is having a safe learning environment where students can experiment, take risks, and experience true growth.

Most importantly, playing the flute should be fun!

I work collaboratively with students, fostering an encouraging space to build upon skillsets including tone, technique, an understanding of music theory, all while partnering with students to develop their own personal sense of musicianship.
