Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I have taught saxophone, flute, and clarinet to students of all ages for over the past 8 years and have found it best to tailor the lessons to the individual needs of the student while emphasizing the basics of tone production, technique and proper attitude. Recently, I was the saxophone professor at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, AZ. I also like to help the student develop time management skills to allow him or her to create a healthy habit of practicing. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I have been playing music for as long as I can remember and teaching it since high school. In 2012, I graduated from Temple University in Philadelphia, PA with a Bachelors degree in Music Education with a dual focus in Jazz Studies. During that time, I had the chance to perform with artist like Branford Marsalis, Benny Golson, Nicolas Peyton and the renowned Village Vanguard Jazz Orchestra. After graduating, I moved to Arizona to begin working as a band and general music teacher in the Phoenix area. Read More

I believe that my students should have high expectations and have fun while completing goals. I make sure lessons are fun and progressive. I hold my students to high expectations so when they meet their goal they actually kill two birds with one stone (ex: figuring out a difficult passage in school music while progressing in technique exercises). I give students accompanying assignments to be supplemental to what they have in technique or to help with school music. 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 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: Saxophone Flute Clarinet
Students will learn lessons of cooperation, patience, perseverance, creativity, time management, and hard work, all of which are virtues that make for a great member of society. Yet, while these are all valuable and are certainly applicable in several different aspects of life, music is worth studying simply for the sake of music. Music is great because it is music. It is something that is enjoyable in and of itself, and something that connects many different people from several different backgrounds. 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.
