Instruments: Violin Cello Viola Trombone Double Bass

I try to enable all of my students to gain a better more meanigful appreciation for music. I enjoy teaching and try to incorporate technique while learning music. Regular practice is a good habit to learn early on and I ask all students to bring a notebook to lessons so progress can be recorded. Regular attendance is important to continue to learn their new skill and I think learning a new discipline needs to be enjoyed. Read More

I try to be as laid-back and disarming as possible. Ultimately, playing music is supposed to be fun and so I never want to stop communicating that to students of any age.

Instruments: Clarinet

I have been teaching since I was in Highschool, specifically tutoring younger kids while I was a senior. From there, I helped with sectionals while I was at Baldwin Wallace University. When I started at the University of Akron, I accepted a full Clarinet assistant ship, teaching private lessons to Undergraduate Clarinetists and coaching chamber music. Nothing brings me more joy to see my students learning something knew, struggling to learn a new concept and finally understanding it (i.e.- learning the proper way to breathe). Read More

My experience starts when I was attending college. I started working at a private school in the great Cleveland area teaching both clarinet and saxophone.

My goal for my students is they not only learn the instrument in lessons is that they also have a good time while practicing. Read More

I review the list and select an appropriate song for them to learn based on the complexity of the song and their ability. Read More
