Instruments: Clarinet

My teaching career started when I was studying to become an orchestral musician at University. I was asked to teach clarinet as a second instrument to my peers. At the time I was not interested in a teaching career. However, 6 months later I noticed that my students were rapidly excelling and I found myself devoting all my time to teaching others and writing a tutor book on how to teach clarinet as a second instrument.

Instruments: Trumpet

I started teaching when I moved to New York City for School. Teaching lessons has been very rewarding and I have seen my students grow tremendous amounts in music.

If a student isn't having fun in their lessons, then i'm not doing my job! Read More

A passionate student is a happy student, so I take special care to ensure that each student develops at their own pace. I like to encourage students to set goals for themselves to get an idea of where they think they are musically, and help them to tailor these goals into small and accomplish tasks. I also think it is extremely important to praise students for working on their material, as this helps encourage them to try even harder and push their boundaries. Read More
