Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Euphonium Tuba

I discovered at a young age a passionate love for music and music making and have had a joy and blessing to be able to share that love with audiences and students alike. I graduatedCum Laude from Northern Illinois University in 2009 with two degrees in trombone performance and music education. Performing with a variety of world-class musicians has been a privilege and a joy that I try to share with my students. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I have been teaching since I finished my undergrad program. At the beginning of my lessons, I get to know the student, his skills and musical tastes. Later I try to encourage students to discover new music in order to develop their personal identity. I believe that the more music you know, the better you are going to find your own style. Depending on the student's goals I can provide some guidance on how to become a professional. Read More

I have extensive experience as a teacher as well as a performer.

While still attending Drake University, I played in the Drake Symphony Orchestra, the Des Moines Symphony and the Encore String Trio. Read More

Originally from Canada, I moved to Los Angeles in 2014 with my wife and 2 young daughters to escape the cold Canadian winters!

I have toured with Grammy award winning artist Sarah Mclachlan and have played on the Tonight Show, Ellen, Good Morning America and many other shows..... Read More

Instruments: Viola

For beginning students I like to begin with learning scales, becoming aware of the circle of fifths, introducing different types of bow strokes, bow control, and other essentials along with simple Suzuki book solo pieces. Once the student has progressed a little further, I will introduce more difficult solo repertoire that I feel will help the students techniques while also showcasing their abilities. For adults, I will try to find out what music the student is interested in and work with them in that way, in order to keep them engaged and enjoy playing music! Read More

I am a passionate and fun instructor who loves to work with students and share the power of storytelling through song. In 2018, I graduated from Oklahoma City University with a double Bachelor of Music degree in Music Theatre and Vocal Performance. While pursuing music at OCU, I was given several opportunities including singing with Broadway star Kelli O'Hara, workshopping with Hamilton star Sasha Hutchings and working with various artists from the Broadway shows Mean Girls, Spongebob, and Carousel.
