Welcome to my website. The information included here reflects my  professional life as a performer and teacher. Highlighted as well are the activities of my flute studio and accomplishments of former students.
If you are interested in the Shepherd School you will want to click on Flute Studio, and also on Advice/Inspiration, which discusses topics of special interest, including what I look for in a prospective student. To hear samples from my recent releases Dedicated to Barrere and Dedicated to Barrere, Vol. 2, featuring music written for the great Franco-American flutist Georges Barrere, click on Listen.
Coming Soon! My latest recording project, with soprano Mimmi Fulmer, is slated to be released shortly by Albany Records. Entitled American Vistas, this disc features works for voice and flute by Martin Amlin, Braxton Blake, Maura Bosch, Aaron Copland, John Corigliano, Henry Cowell, Kenneth Gaburo, Scott Gendel, Ralph Shapey, and my Shepherd School faculty colleague Kurt Stallman, whose Lumina II for solo flute is one of the seven premiere recordings on this CD. Additional collaborators on this disc are clarinetist Michael Webster and composer/pianists Amlin and Gendel.
Next May through July I'll be teaching and performing in Australia and New Zealand, as well as at The Panoramic Flutist in Boulder, the Sarasota Music Festival, and the Youth Orchestra of the Americas residency, to be held this year in the United States. Other festival dates will be added as they are confirmed. Thanks for your interest, and enjoy your visit.
