I like to emphasize fundamentals, especially if a student is just beginning. I believe a strong foundation makes it easier as they progress. For all instruments I always have my students prepare both technical exercises and solo material. I always emphasize historical context to bring the music to life.

I can inform students how to improvise in jazz, as well as play at the level required for symphonic performance. Read More
