Instruments: Trombone Ukulele Euphonium Tuba Music

For beginning students, such as children I focus on developing strong fundamentals such as air control, mouthpiece blowing, and hand-eye coordination with their instrument. This slowly moves into rhythm and pitch reading for beginners. Intermediate to advanced students build on these fundamentals and also have the privilege of learning repertoire with performance possibilities. For adults I like to see what suits their personal interests and then work together to achieve their goals through mentorship and collaboration. Read More

Through the years, I've found that this allows students to get out of their comfort zones and learn new rythms they didn't know before. Read More

I teach my students to be self sufficient and to problem solve by themselves.

I love seeing students find a musical solution to a problem on their own because it means that I’ve taught them to use their own knowledge for their own good. Read More
