Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet
This alone can often be a deterrent to many students and their families who may not be able or willing to invest in all of this, and the student hasn't even begun playing yet! I believe this shouldn't be the case. Music educators must make it a priority to provide students in need with the same opportunity to enjoy music as their peers, and must do everything in their power to make sure that they have all of the resources and materials available in order for them to succeed.

I am musician who loves to play all styles of music and enjoys performing as often as possible. My background is in jazz and improvisation but have also studied and performed classical, latin, RB, funk and many other styles. After receiving my Bachelor of Music in Music Theory from the University of North Texas in 2006, I joined Holland America Line as a musician and visited over 175 cities in 60 countries all the while performing music.

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 Voice Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I began teaching private lessons during my summers off from college, just a few students at a time. Since beginning my teaching career, my focus has shifted slightly to group piano classes, while still teaching privately after school. I have been a student of private instruction since the age of three, and my experiences in my private lessons have shaped the way I structure my own lessons for students. I firmly believe that my students need to not only study solo repertoire, but also that they spend some time every week focusing on technical exercises to solidify their musical foundation. 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

High school students will work out of the Blue Standards of Excellence book for their freshman and sophomore year; along with a more advanced packet of warm up and scale exercises that I received from the ASU clarinet studio and my current clarinet professor Jeff Quamo. Junior year and senior year students will be expected to know at least 80% of the circle of 5ths and they'll begin to start playing etudes out of the Rose Etude book along with studying farther into the warm-up and practice packet.

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.
