Instruments: Piano Clarinet Music
While at Eastern I studied with Christopher Howard, a member of the United States Coast Guard Band. I have also spent summers at Brevard Music Center and the Philadelphia International Music Festival, studying with Steve Cohen, David Blumberg, and Ricardo Morales, as well as working as the production intern for the Hartford Symphony Orchestras Talcott Mountain Music Festival. In my time at Eastern, I won the New England Intercollegiate Band Festival Solo Competition, as well as receiving multiple awards from the music department, including the 2019 Undergraduate Creative Activity Fellowship, and the 2020 Outstanding Honors Thesis Award for my project, Leonard Bernstein and the Twentieth Century Crisis of Faith.

Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Synthesizer Electric Violin Fiddle
I believe a good musical day is enjoyed through a well-balanced musical diet! I love to keep the fundamentals in mind with scales and etudes fit for the student's skill level, and leverage those through a performance piece of choice, be it mine or yours (with blessings). If we are working towards a specific piece for a recital or a judge, I will tailor assignments to the piece. I am proficient with music notation software, so customized sheets are absolutely a possibility. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
My teaching experience goes back to while Im in my college years, I began teaching private in my own home studio and go around teaching at students home for two years. I love to share what I receive, and to learn from the experience as Im teaching to my students as well. So far in my teaching experience, I focus on building trust and consistency. I always encourage my students to practice consistently, and have fun making music because making music should be enjoyable, not stress. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
As I get to know my students I will learn better how to teach them. Some people respond best to big challenges, some people learn best with baby steps. Either way it is so important to take time and look back to see how much you have grown, and to celebrate both large and small milestones. Learning something new is a crazy amount of work, so it's important that you enjoy it. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Acoustic Guitar
For beginning students I typically start with sound development and articulation for the brass instruments starting with armband studies and schlosburg studies. For the intermediate students I work on Clark studies and intersperse getchel etudes for artistic development. Advanced students work on major recital works for brass that help their development for performance. Guitar students learn chordal techniques with rythem patterns and a blend of classical playing finger picking for individual technique for fingers. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet Bassoon
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I made the decision in high school, and I have stuck to it since. Now, where I am now is not how I envisioned it then (I thought I would be playing guitar in a band), but my life has always been about chasing musical fulfillment. Meeting different people, discovering different styles, being exposed to different musical cultures has all had a hand in shaping where I am today, but the central idea of music has been, and will always be constant.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Professional music doesn't run in my family, but my parents always had music in the house. On my mother's side, my grandfather loved to sing and play guitar, and my grandmother was a dancer. My father's parents were in a travelling Baptist gospel band, which had me raised on folk music. My mother loves to sing, my father is constantly listening to new music. My siblings all play something in the way they see most fulfilling, my sisters are signers and dancers, and my brothers play guitar and drums. I'm the only one who is a professional, but I'm far from the only musician.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started on saxophone, and kept playing even after switching to bassoon because I wanted to stay involved in jazz band. In college, I continued even further with jazz band and had instruction on flute and clarinet, because some of the music we played called for doubling. A lot of my freelance work at this time was playing in pit orchestras for musicals, which also require multiple instruments for one person, so I developed a level of comfort on woodwind instruments.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would be working with animals in some way! My favorite non-musical job I worked was taking care of the pets in a pet store, and I especially love taking care of birds. I've owned all sorts of pets, and help take care of even more, and I love all of the quirks that come with each species and how differently they interact with everything around them.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite to play is classical, because that is what I'm trained to do best. I feel very at home and comfortable sitting in an orchestra, and it is an excellent outlet for my instrument to function in. Because of my time spent playing in classical orchestras, I've developed a deep love for the music played by them, and feel like I'm contributing to a long history.
I also love playing jazz, and specifically improvising, for the exact opposite reasons. There's a methodology to improvising, but so much of it is personal and only exists in the moment, and I think that's really beautiful and fun.
