My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching marching band eight years ago.

In between teaching classes I would help students after school with working on their music for class as well as encouraging students to push themselves with more challenging literature. During the concert season I would meet with sections or individuals for lessons for their solo or ensemble auditions. Read More
