Hey, thanks for stopping by!

My name is Erica and I have a passion for sharing all things flute! I have been playing for over 10 years (…wow!) and have studied with many amazing flutists including Dr. Kimberly Reighley during my undergrad at West Chester University studying flute performance. During my time at WCU, I sat in every chair of the Wind Ensemble from the principal chair, first flute, second flute, and piccolo. I also got to play in the orchestra, flute ensemble, and many chamber ensembles. I am grateful for many opportunities that allowed me to play for many of the masters during masterclasses and workshops such as Lea Pearson, Trudy Kane, Patrick Williams, and more. I have also participated in many competitions where I have placed or received honorable mentions. Some of these include the MTNA Young Artists competition where I have received honorable mentions three years in a row and the FSGP Collegiate Artists Competition where I have received an honorable mention for “energy and flair,” then placed second during 2021.

After graduating with a performance degree, I relocated to Lancaster, PA and joined forces with my wonderful mentor, Morgann Davis. I teach along side her in the Davis Flute Studio. In addition to teaching, I perform for local churches, play in chamber groups such as Liberty Winds and a Music in Our Schools quintet, and occasionally sub for larger groups including Allegro Orchestra.  

I have experience teaching virtual and in-person lessons to all levels. My holistic approach to teaching involves more than just tone and technique. Playing the flute is a whole-body experience that is a great way to express yourself through something beautiful. During lessons, there will be a focus on stretching and breathing to reduce any discomfort that can come from playing, as well as maintaining a positive and happy mindset throughout the whole learning process.
