Instruments: Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet

I have done five contracts with Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines playing saxophone, clarinet and flute. This gig took me around South America, up and down the East and West Coasts of the USA and around South East Asia.

One of my fun experiences is when I travelled to Germany after my masters degree and while there was invited to perform in a festival. Read More

When a student starts taking lessons with me, I first try to get a sense of the student's past musical experiences and current musical skills so that I can develop an individualized plan for the student, also taking into account the student's interests and goals.
