I have been studying music since I was a little child. I am an active performing artist who has toured all over the world since the age of fifteen. Although I enjoy performing, teaching is what drives me. I learn a lot from each and every student. I just wish to share the knowledge I've acquired with each and every student. I want to see students succeed in music and enjoy every minute of it. Read More

I would love to teach all ages, as I feel it is never too early or too late to learn about music. My students are encouraged to prepare for auditions and recitals as well as practicing music theory and composition for a deeper appreciation of the art.

I love teaching students privately one on one. My youngest student was 4; a Piano student. She was from a Russian family and didn’t speak a word of English. Teaching her was a joint effort between myself and the girl’s mother who did speak English; a very interesting experience. My oldest student was 86; a Guitar student. He had studied previously with another instructor and loved to play. I focused on material that would not only improve his abilities but provide him with something that he could play for people in his social groups. Read More

For beginners I generally use Rubank method. I feel this text is complete and covers all of the material that beginning woodwind players need. The intermediate method has even more material as well as repertoire to start the important process of learning longer pieces of music. I stress the fundamentals as this is the basis of all good playing. For my jazz students I use texts by Keller, Weiskopf, Fishman and transcriptions. Read More

As a teacher, I try not to stress rote learning but instead focus on explanations for why music works the way it does. I find that music of any genre is much easier to study if you have an understanding of the framework of what you practice. To that end, I stress technical study that works towards grooming pieces or songs for performance and make sure that my students have a complete understanding of both music and their instrument.
