Instruments: Violin

My students of all levels have been made aware of what is amazing in their playing and, in turn, felt encouraged to bring the other aspects of their musicianship to the same level. My very first young student confided in me that he originally wanted to quit the violin, but my instruction convinced him to keep pursuing music. Needless to say, this was one of the happiest moments of my teaching career! Read More

Instruments: Trombone

My training has always been performance-focused, but I'm a believer that you cannot teach what you don't know how to do yourself. I've spent lots of time absorbing information about all different aspects of performing and composing, and because of that I'm now in a great position to share what's worked for me, and what else could work for people of different learning styles. I've premiered multiple pieces, and have more premieres lined up for later this year. Read More

My teaching experience began in 2006. During my college years I taught trombone to fellow students and later as a college instructor and high school band director, taught young adults. My experience as an elementary school teacher has rewarded me with skills to work with younger children. I now work with seasoned musicians as a mentor and coach. I have fun too. I have performed with Kristin Chenoweth, The Electric Light Orchestra, Nancy Wilson, and Ray Charles. Read More

Instruments: Saxophone Clarinet

In every lesson, I strive to keep the student engaged and enjoying music. My goal is for every one of my students to be as passionate and excited about music as I am! I teach students how to warm up and breath properly and find music that they are passionate about. For beginners in band, I will suggest we use the same book the student is using at his or her school. Read More

I chose to return to school in 2009 and completed two Masters degrees in performance in classical and jazz trumpet over the next four years. Read More
