Theresa has directed flute choirs for the Arizona Flute Society, instructed flute at St. Mary's High School and the Place Music Academy and conducted bands at the Arizona School for the Arts.

Since 1995 Theresa has performed in Duozona with her husband, guitarist Chuck Hulihan. As a duo, they have studied with flutists Ransom Wilson and Trygve Peterson, guitarists Frank Koonce and Sharon Isbin, and oboist Martin Schuring. They have performed around the U.S., with appearances at the Wood Flute Festival in Washington, Seattle Guitar Society, American Mandolin and Guitar Summer School in Rhode Island, Guitar Workshop in New Mexico, Pepperdine University in California, Long Beach Classical Guitar Society, Ventura Classical Guitar Society and in Arizona at the Grand Canyon Guitar Society, Kerr Cultural Center, Scottsdale Center for the Arts, and the Chandler Center for the Arts.

Their CD "Colors", features music by Sy Brandon, Eugene Bozza, and Jaques Ibert, on Emeritus Recordings, and has received airplay worldwide. Duozona's "Colors" has also been featured on: KBAQ's c.d. of the week, Classical Guitar Alive! and on Flute Radio. Colors has received critical acclaim�

"Altogether this is a fine CD of interesting and diverse music that never strays into the mediocre or the avant-garde. It is melodic and engaging throughout and is wonderfully played and very clearly recorded. This is a superb CD in every way".
