Performance Practice & Instruction

All my work resides in the world of Deep Listening. Trained in traditional, classical Western-European music, my travels and extensive performing career have shaped the way I play, perform, and teach. My approach to 20th and 21st C. performance practice, improvisation, and electronics dive into practices of listening with (and to) the whole body, dreams, and community, without judgment. I see myself more as a guide and facilitator…we work in partnership to discover what motivates you, expands your creativity, and nurtures your expressive being.

My workshops, classes, and lessons welcome nonmusicians and musicians. I am delighted to work with composers: we explore how to incorporate new sonic colors into compositions. I work with sound artists who want to research posthuman and other-than-human approaches to experience sound. I work with dabblers of music, and those who are just beginning to tap into their creative selves. I work with flutists of all genres who want to expand their knowledge and exploration of all the sounds this incredible instrument can create.

I guide dedicated and curious players and performers to discover their unique creative selves! I invite participants to explore new musical vocabularies in playful ways. My workshops and lessons are accessible remotely or in person.

I also teach at The New School, Master of Music Performer-Composer division. So if you are interested in their program, feel free to reach out to me!

What are your dreams? Let’s manifest them!

The Vocalization of the Flute

My manual The Vocalization of the Flute is a self-published step-by-step guide on how to sing while playing the flute. There are short etudes and fun examples of how to incorporate this ancient technique into new compositions. If you’d like a copy or you’re interested in lessons or want me to come to your university or school for workshops, feel free to contact me directly.
