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.

I love being able to send students on their way for the day knowing that they put their best foot forward. Even if they did not come to a lesson prepared, being able to see growth in the small amount of time I'm with them is enough for me. I understand that every student progresses at their own pace, so I work with them and their parents to make sure that realistic goals are set and written down to hold the student, parent, and myself to this growth plan.

I am a passionate teacher and performer that loves paying back the knowledge that I have had over the years. Professionally I have played in orchestras and every genre of music group trumpet, piano, guitar. Over 15 years I was a co Director of a music school that had thousands of students throughout those fifteen years that have gone on to professional and amateur music careers that have led them to play with professional groups and many other world renowned opportunities in travel and music development I am happy to pass that knowledge to the student who is looking for either professional or amateur venues of playing.

When I think about a student learning wintry to put myself in there shoes. They want to feel like they have something to show for the time that they were the class session. . if we have an hour session and at the end of the session they can go out and show off what they learned then they will. It be as motivated to come back.... So my method is to teach them while at the same time giving a practical aspect where they have something that can show and practice to develop the skill learned in the proviso session. 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: Trumpet
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
On trumpet, the hardest thing to master is blowing through a phrase. What I mean by this is keeping a steady air flow and not changing your air flow up and down due to the notes you are playing in what range. Flexibility studies and Stamp as well as Hood warmups in particular help with this. The next thing that is most difficult is playing quietly with a good tone. A great way to practice for this is by playing Clarke 1,2,3,4,5 at a very low volume. Pair this with flow studies, and mastering Small and Arbans etudes will certainly help sustain a steady air flow.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Of coarse! A trumpet player’s best friend are their method books. The most well-known trumpet method books include Arbans and Clarke studies. These are great for fingering exercises, etudes, and a really great way to work up towards the trumpet player you want to be. Irons is great for flexibility, Small for etudes, Caruso for kinestetics, Schlossberg for etudes which are wonderful for beginners; and you can’t go wrong with Chicowitz for long tones - which of coarse improve your tone. These books belong in every trumpet players’ collection.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I begin with breathing exercises and move to mouthpiece buzzing. I use the Boyd Hood mouthpiece drills corresponding on piano then with my mouthpiece; resting the same amount as playing. I move onto Chicowitz long tones and then Stamp warmups. I make sure to not overplay and rest just as much as I play. I move onto technical studies - including Irons flexibilities, Clarke technical studies and etudes, and etudes from either Schlossberg, small, or Arbans - depending on what I’m working on that week. After than I normally take about a 30 minute break then I work on my literature. Last, I warm down by playing low long tones included in the Stamp warmups.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Bacholer of Arts in Music - concentration trumpet. I chose this degree to teach private lessons as well as perform gigs and I will eventually obtain my masters degree in either Musicology, Theory, Performance, or Composition. I like to keep my options open so that is why I have chosen some wiggle room for what I’m going to graduate school for. For now in this transition between undergrad and grad school, I want to teach lessons full time and continue practicing and playing gigs. I plan on attending UNT or UTA for graduate school.

My daughter is 5 years old. She wants to play piano. I have played piano since age 6, however I feel she would benefit from having an outside teacher.
