​

I have experience teaching those with ADD, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attachment Disorder, and mental health issues. We've used music (ah, Beethoven), musical tools, and the discipline of learning an instrument to help with all of them.

​

I've taught flute since 1997 and Piano since 2013 to students aged 4-84.
