Kimberly was born and raised in Tucson, Arizona. After starting the flute and piano at the age of 8, she knew she had found something she loved and wanted in her life forever. At age 12, she added the saxophone and clarinet to her repertoire of instruments. After completing her Bachelors degree in Flute Performance at the University of Arizona she moved to Los Angeles to work on her Masters degree at California Institute of the Arts (CalArts). There was where she fell in love with contemporary music and has devoted her life to sharing her love for it with others. After completing her Masters degree in Flute Performance at CalArts, she went on to pursue a Doctorate in Contemporary Flute Performance at the University of California, San Diego. Kimberly now resides in Los Angeles and plays with many groups throughout the city. *** Lesson Details *** All lessons are tailored to the students needs and goals. I like for all students to have serious music/etudes to work on as well as something fun that you enjoy playing. I teach everything from classical to pop music, beginner to advanced, age 4 to 99. Whatever your goals are, I can help you achieve them! *** Studio Equipment *** Music stand and chair *** Travel Equipment *** I provide nothing, students must have instrument, books and music stand. *** Specialties *** Contemporary flute techniques and performance. Early childhood music and movement for young children.

Dr. Kimberly is a great instructor. She makes playing flute fun and informative. I look forward to our lessons.
We're very pleased Dr. Kimberly's lessons. With her help my daughter shows more confidence, interest and excitement in playing saxophone. Playing at her school band, she loves being ahead of everyone and showing off her new learned techniques and skills. We highly recommend Dr. Kimberly.
Dr. K made practicing tenor sax super fun and enjoyable, offering patience and insight on any questions asked. I greatly appreciated her ability to guide me throughout this learning experience and fully recommend her to anyone wanting to learn sax!
