Instruments: Saxophone
I knew I would enjoy teaching others when I was a member of my high school band's leadership team. As I helped others, I found that I truly enjoyed the brilliant moments of success. Aside from teaching, I still enjoy performing on my instruments (sax, guitar, and piano) and am always looking to take on new students! Read More
Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium French Horn Tuba Oboe
I have been a music educator in the public schools for over 40 years having taught in Austin, Texas and currently in Fort Worth, Texas. Many of my students have gone to play their instruments in college bands throughout the state. Several former students are currently teaching music at the secondary and college level. I do not approach my teaching to focus on a student's future as a musician. All make individual choices on musical endeavors. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I teach music, not just instruments. I try to develop a broad appreciation for music that will stay with my students wherever they go in life. I take an individualized approach based on learning styles and strengths. I believe in positive reinforcement, especially with younger students! I also take into account preferences for music styles and attempt to use repertoire that not only broadens their experience, but keeps students focused and interested. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Flute
For beginners, I typically start with fundamentals and technique combined with the, Essential Elements 2000. Once the student gets in track, I start introducing more advanced book such Rubank, J.H Luft, H.Klose and Feerling. For adults and more advanced students, most likely I develop a custom guide and protocol based on what their focus of interest is. I would provide the necessary information more related to Jazz music style and technique in order to develop a proper language. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone
My teaching experiences have come from my time spent playing in a variety of ensembles in the different colleges that I attended. I was often asked to lead groups in rehearsal and this was where my teaching experiences first began. It started with my colleges Big Band and then with a Saxophone Quartet. Being able to lead a group of musicians and helping them get better everyday was the most fulfilling feeling I got during my time in school and pushed me to try my hand at teaching younger students.

Now i am working on my first doctoral degree in University of North Texas, being a student of Dr. Eric Nestler. Read More

As a product of "the system", I generally teach "the system". By that I mean that in the education system here in Texas has been teaching this same way for years and years. After a year or two learning the fundamentals, scales and phrasing, then one gets to study the Ferling etudes for region band and a few basic solos for solo and ensemble. Depending on what the student wants to learn, I can teach anything they want. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My grandfather taught me how to play trumpet when I was eight years old. And then I didn’t play again until high school. Since my middle school didn’t have band, I was highly discouraged from playing my trumpet - the only times I played were the super easy solos from Disney movies for my sister. Once I started high school, I realized I didn’t learn much at all from when I was initially taught how to play. During high school I started to actually learn how to play well and work on exercises; but even then I wasn’t aware of any lessons teachers in my area so I didn’t really care about trumpet that much. A new band director came to my school my senior year and had jazz band, which I really enjoyed but I still gave up on trumpet after high school because I was too afraid to perform. Once I got into college, I was pretty much forced to perform, which made me realize my fear was so easy to overcome! It was then that I realized I was so lucky to have my grandfather give me a trumpet that started a spark in my life; even though it was a little delayed.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My proudest moment was my senior recital. I organized the entire performance with trumpet literature, some unconvential trumpet literature (Rikai by Adam Cuthbert), vocal jazz, and classical opera. Everything I did in college all came together, and it felt like the culmination of all the hard work I did. Playing in Carnegie Hall was a wonderful experience, just being in the hall was incredible as much it was beautiful; it was an amazing opportunity and a life-changer. I also had the amazing opportunity to tour with the tarleton jazz band in Italy on trumpet and vocals! Another proud moment was playing with the trumpet ensemble at the national trumpet competition. Going there with my friends with whom I worked so hard with was fantastic and it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. My university gave me a lot of amazing opportunities and I am so grateful.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
One of my students advanced to area, and then state in her solo literature! I taught her from day one, when she couldn’t buzz in a mouthpiece. Watching her grow is one of the best and proudest feelings that I’ve ever felt. She had a lot of obstacles and didn’t practice very much in the beginning, but with some hard work and motivation, we made trumpet a priority for her. She was my very first student; and my guinea pig. I grew just as much as she did, me as a teacher, and her as a trumpet player. I love watching my students grow and fall in love with music, and I cant wait to teach more students.
