Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet
Simply put, my goal is to make sure that a quality music education is accessible to all students, regardless of their background, demographic, or socioeconomic status. Without a doubt, music is one of the most rigorous subjects you could study, but it is also one of the most rewarding and enriching experiences a student will ever encounter in their lifetime. My role as a music educator is to guide students to better themselves - both as musicians and as people - in order to allow music to enrich their lives. Read More

I am dedicated, persistent, and reliable. I am willing to learn and keep learning for the advancement of myself and my students. A well-rounded appreciation for music as well as critical listening and ear-training skills will be taught. I also maintain a pretty fast paced lesson, enabling the student to have plenty of practice material, technique studies, and goals to meet. I will record the student's progress electronically so that the student may better understand and learn from their lessons. I will inspire my student’s, positively influencing and encouraging them along our journey of musical discovery. Read More

I am a multiple woodwind performer and an educator with a strong European background in music theory, aural skills, and music history. I hold BM and MM in saxophone performance and recently graduated with my second MM in multiple woodwind performance and pedagogy. I am a very passionate teacher with years of experienced. I also stay active as a performer which I believe is a very important aspect of a good pedagogue. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I had my first teaching experience working with elementary students as a private instructor during my senior year of high school. I continued to work with beginning and intermediate students throughout college teaching everything from beginning instruction to jazz improvisation. I am currently a band, strings and vocal music teacher in the Phoenix area where I rehease several groups and give lessons daily. my current students experience everything from classical to pop music and are encouraged to be as creative as possible.

I like to have a balance in my lessons between fun and challenge. I do this by setting realistic goals each week for my students, dependent on their level of perfomance and the pace that they are progressing. Not everyone will progress at the same pace, and I feel that it is more important for a student to master a particular lesson than to move quickly through the lesson book. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium Mallet Percussion Music Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I've been teaching privately for 15 years and working with music stores and schools in their band programs/music classes for 8 years. I've worked with Brian Wilson at Summit Academy, Jeff Quamo's students at Mesa High and with Mary Price in her general music classroom at Summit Academy. I'm currently in multiple ensembles as well as getting back into choral music which is where I get my experience in musical phrasing and emotion. Read More
Instruments: Clarinet
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on the clarinet is to make a good sound and to then maintain it, no matter the dynamic, style, range, and difficulty of the music that you are performing.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Any child is ready to begin lessons. A child who is off to a great start on an instrument might benefit from lessons to nurture this progress and to cultivate a life-long appreciation of music. A child who is really struggling in band class or doesn't know how to put the instrument together is equally able to benefit from lessons. Because lessons are 1 on 1, I focus on whatever best helps your child and encorages a positive relationship with the clarinet. The only requirement is that your child is able to focus throughout the lesson and interested in learning, so that your money is going to good use.
When will I start to see results?
Most often you can see a difference right away due to the ability for the instructor to work on areas a student struggles with or has questions about. This isn't to say that if you dont see or feel progress that something is wrong. Progress comes at different paces for each student and that is okay. I personally have studied with teachers whose ideas clicked with me instantaneously as well as some whose methods took a month or two to really sink in. Both were just as valuable to my development.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I initially chose the clarinet because my uncle, who I look up to, had played clarinet through high school and I wanted to be like Squidward from Spongebob. My inital plan was to then switch to the French Horn after a year or two on the clarinet, as I also really liked the sound of that instrument, but I ended up sticking with the clarinet and fell in love with it shortly after.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing effectively is about making a plan for your time and being persistent. Make sure to silence your phone and other devices so that your practice time is focused on making music. 15 minutes of good, focused practice is better than 120 minutes filled with distractions and lack of direction. If you are like me, you may benefit from taking breaks every 30 minutes or so to allow any built up distractions to be dealt with and to give you time to get refocused while avoiding burnout.
