I’m a fun, energetic teacher who believes in a student center philosophy. Students have fun when they are taught what they want to learn. My job is to teach them what they want to learn and how to approach and accomplish that goal. I will always take into consideration who is learning, why are they wanting to learn, what is their objective/goal, when would they like to accomplish this goal, and how WILL they achieve it.

I will typically alter my lesson plans according to each student's needs and goals. I love using method books and even beginning band books. For true beginners, it is so important to develop a strong foundation for breathing, posture, embouchure, and finger position. For example, to help practice deep breathing, I have my students lay down on the ground with a book on their stomach. Then, I will ask them to breath while trying to move the book up and down.
