As a private flute instructor, I’ve taught over 80 students in my short 12 years. I started fresh out of high school as I pursued my degree. Add in classes, clinics, ensembles and more, and I’m probably well over 200. That’s quite a stretch of personal human interaction and stimulation I get to have daily. AtContinue reading “That one student…That one teacher!”

Day 8 – 22 to go
Yesterday was the last day of Week 1 and I want to recap my week – Day 1 I was super nervous but I was ready to go. I made a mistake of working out too much (for the beginning). Day 2 I felt like absolute garbage all day. I felt like a truck hitContinue reading “Day 8 – 22 to go”
Day 5 – 25 to go
MPE and I have been reading from the book “Rumi Day by Day” by Maryam Mafi. In the book there are 365 entries, each no longer than a couple sentences but evoking some inner thought. Yesterday’s reminded me how much we just keep trading our precious time here on earth for money… 7. “How canContinue reading “Day 5 – 25 to go”
Day 3 -27 to go
I went to bed last night full of energy from the training session I had with my Executive Area Manager with Arbonne. I met Mari yesterday and her energy is absolutely infectious so when I went to bed last night feeling great, I thought it had to have been the adrenaline. I believed the awfulContinue reading “Day 3 -27 to go”
Day 2 – 28 to go
I am so glad I moved all my students from today to yesterday; yet after teaching them yesterday and receiving a 4-legged furry friend and waiting up for 2 2-legged friends, I was exhausted most of the morning! So exhausted and so drained from my detox and my long day yesterday, I experienced “the symptoms”.Continue reading “Day 2 – 28 to go”
Day 1
1 down 29 to go. Well I’d be lying if I said that I wasn’t craving more than a reasonable portion of apple and almond butter for my afternoon snack, but Day 1 is in the books. Today I had to step on the dreaded scale, something I haven’t done in over year, and theContinue reading “Day 1”
A New Adventure
It has been a long while since I’ve shared much of my life with you but it is a new year and I’m going to be venturing into some scary uncharted territory. I am creating a few new blog categories because along the way of creating my Studio and developing my professional footprint,Continue reading “A New Adventure”
Carrizozo Music Presents the Altura Winds
I love performing Chamber Music. This will ring true in my heart for as long as I live. There is something special about sharing the stage with friends and family that cannot be found in the spotlight. Believe me, I am a spotlight performer, too! The Pops Music series in Carrizozo, NM, formerly known asContinue reading “Carrizozo Music Presents the Altura Winds”
Liz Madden, Art in the Afternoon at the Albuquerque Museum
This is a little later than I would have liked to post something in regards to this performance, but has constantly been on my mind. As I’m trying to write more about the experiences I have in performing with some of the finest musicians in the world (literally), I finally get to write about theContinue reading “Liz Madden, Art in the Afternoon at the Albuquerque Museum”
Performing Albuquerque
I am a very busy person. My students know this, my colleagues know this, and my running community knows this. Working for the Philharmonic has been an absolute joy and I have poured myself into creating a job full of organization and knowledge. Being hired as Artistic Coordinator meant filling a position that had notContinue reading “Performing Albuquerque”
