I encourage the individual to find what they love about what they're doing to spark growth and personal development. I use real world scenarios and applications for my students to relate and apply their learning through the playing of their instrument. From my pedagogical teachings ive learned that the best approach is a differentiated one. One that is diverse yet unique to the learner and/ or group of learners. I use a linguistic and analytical yet methodological approach to teaching that I find to be VERY Efficient! Read More

I base my every teaching style according to what the individual student needs . Teaching a class of 60 students is much different than a one on one class.

Once again, my overall goal is to develop a personal artistic voice for each student. My teaching style is flexible to style and type of music that the student wants to play, and I facilitate their growth in that specific genre of music. I also like to expose my students to types of music they would have never thought possible to play on their instruments. In culmination of all these efforts, I always try to run a recital where my students play whatever they want at the skill level they currently possess. Read More

Instruments: Piano Clarinet

For clarinet, I have developed a custom-tailored method for students based off the excellent instruction I have received from my teachers: Robert DiLutis of the University of Maryland, Jonathan Gunn of the University of Cincinnati, David Drosinos of the Baltimore School for the Arts, and Kristen Spiridon of the Savannah, Augusta and Coastal Symphony Orchestras.

Instruments: Saxophone Clarinet

My teaching experience began in high school where, as a junior, I began teaching middle school saxophone players. As I went through high school I began to realize that I had a knack for teaching young players one-on-one as opposed to a large classroom, this is what inspired me to study music performance as opposed to music education. When I moved to Kennesaw to change majors from Classical to Jazz Saxophone Performance, I realized how fortunate I was to now know how to teach both classical and jazz genres of my instrument.
