Instruments: Guitar Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium Mallet Percussion Music Acoustic Guitar
I'm a passionate and curious musician. I'm self-taught in the styles of classical and jazz from when I picked up the clarinet I found at a Salvation Army at the age of 10. I taught myself until I started college and studied with Kelly Lake, Stephanie Gardner and currently with Jeff Quamo. While working toward receiving my Masters in Clarinet performance at NAU, I taught music theory and aural perception at the undergraduate level. In addition to teaching I've had two pieces written and recorded for me along with a couple tracks on a comedian's recent albums. Read More

I custom-tailor my lesson plans for each individual student based on a variety of factors such as prior playing experience (if applicable), student's desired goals and outcomes, student availability, etc. A typical first lesson with me will be spent going over what goals you want to achieve and how I can best serve you in reaching those goals by working with you to develop an effective plan of practice. In addition, I will share the knowledge and expertise I have gathered from my teachers and my own musical career to ensure that you have all of the tools and resources you need to start seeing the results you want.

My goal in teaching is to help the student develop confidence by developing skill as a musician. Once the student realizes how to gain confidence through practice, he or she will create a healthy habit of successful learning that can transfer to any field of education. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I graduated from Temple University in 2011 with my Bachelor's degree in Music Education. I was a saxophone major, but I have also studied piano since the age of three. I enjoy performing in musical pits, which is where I picked up the flute and the clarinet. I am currently a choral teacher at the high school level, but I have previously taught in a K-8 school, as well as several years in a daycare setting with very young students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I do not usually follow any method book as every student is different, has different background, goals and aspirations. I try to mix exercises/methods that I use in my practice with materials of accomplished pedagogues. I have my set of warm-ups that I use on saxophone, clarinet, and flute; I often find myself using flute method while playing the saxophone which only pushes my and my students abilities and makes them better musicians.

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.
