COLLABORATORS
Private Music Instructor: Flute
The Suzuki Flute Method
The Suzuki method is a style of teaching developed by Shinichi Suzuki, a Japanese violinist. He realized that most children learn to speak their native language easily and applied the basic principles of language learning to music education, calling it the "mother-tongue approach." The ideas of parent responsibility, loving encouragement, and constant repetition are essential to the Suzuki approach.
My Background & Approach
As a Suzuki flute teacher, my goal is to have every student find joy in playing music, reach their potential through rigorous instruction, and use music as a way to embrace compassion, persistence, and self-expression.
I teach beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels and welcome children, age 3 and older, and adult amateurs. I have experience working with autistic adults and children and gladly accept any student with disabilities. No matter your age, level, background, or ability, we will work together to develop a Suzuki-based curriculum that is best suited for you.
I speak English and Spanish and provide lessons in both languages.

Curriculum Designer: STEM/STEAM
My Background
I’ve trained as a STEAM Resident at The GIANT Room, writing curriculum and planning workshops for children ages 3 to 12. Workshops topics I am comfortable and familiar with include, but are not limited to, design thinking, math, science, DIY electronics, art techniques, music technology, fashion, coding, architecture, origami, LEGO, storytelling, public speaking, social emotional learning, and more. I also have designed and fabricated educational materials using 3D printer, laser cutter, sticker maker, button press, and sewing and embroidery machines.
What Collaborating Together Looks Like
Do you have a STEM/STEAM workshop you need help designing? Perhaps you want to create an epic and engaging children’s event centered around STEM/STEAM? Or are you adding STEM/STEAM activities to your children’s book for extra fun? Whatever your project may be, I’d love to help you:
write the curriculum and/or activity breakdowns
design the educational materials and content
plan the event flow
support in sourcing tools and supplies
train instructors
brainstorm new/further ideas

Curriculum Designer: Music
My Background
I studied Classical Music: Flute Performance at the Mannes School of Music at The New School and have worked professionally in music education as a teaching artist since 2016. I founded two music education orgranizations, serving a wide range of students from middle schoolers in foster care and prevention services to kindergarteners at pre-college programs to teens in high school to adults, alike. I’ve designed programs teaching musical storytelling, musical genres, music theory, and instruments in individual and group settings.

Storyteller & Writer: Children’s Media
My Background
While developing the concept and business of Art Beyond the Ink, a mentor said to us, “You want to use music to tell stories? Well, then everything you do needs to be a story — from your curriculum to your marketing to your fundraising.” Since that defining piece of advice, that’s what I have set out to do! My children’s media writing experience includes:
developing and writing short films inspired by music and its naunced, emotional arc
writing short stories to teach music for both individual workshops and collective workbook formats
using children’s art, ideas, and craft projects to write and publish picture books, lookbooks, zines, and micro-short animations
co-leading the creation of a TV series
concept development
episode and script writing
pitching to networks

Do you have a story that needs telling? Is it a TV show? A children’s workbook? A short film? A video game? Or, are you missing the story and aren’t sure where to start? Whatever your project may be, I’d love to help you tell its story. I offer the following writing/storytelling services.
Script Writing
