I grew up in Gillette Wyoming playing Euphonium and Trombone, also achieving 4 years in the all state band. From there, I went to the University of North Texas, and my world grew so much larger. As the largest Euphonium studio in the world, I was blown out of the water at the ability level of the players around me. I achieved both a Bachelors and a Masters degree in Euphonium performance. Not only did I regualrly perform with the Dallas Brass band, Dallas Asian Winds, and UNT Wind Symphony, I also grew a love for teaching. I am excited to be in New York, and am ready to help you grow!
I have been regularly teaching Euphonium, Tuba, and Trombone since 2020. I was primary Euphonium staff at 3 High Schools and 5 middle schools. I've taught ages 10-70, and my students regualrly find success at both solo and ensemble competitions, as well as regional and all state bands. I teach a wide range of materials, from method books and solos, to pop songs and marching tunes. I have experience teaching both in person and online, but have no issues driving to where a student is located. With a Masters degree in Euphonium, I am the perfect person to help you grow!
I start all my beginners with a strong set of fundamental practices, from breathing techniques and games to lip slurs and articulations. I find that the best way to motivate a student to practice and learn is to play music that they know. I teach beginning and intermediate students out of the Walter Beeler method, which provides a good progression of theory along with recognizable music. I like to finish lessons working on pop music or video game songs. Some of my students even request memes. It is important to stay up to date with how students consume music. Advanced students will usually get solos to work through week to week, along with vocalises to practice musicality.
My number one priority is for students to enjoy the music we play. Sometimes it can be hard work, but I want to make sure that the student leaves the lesson feeling excited about what they worked on, and ready to go home and practice. It is important to pay attention to how a student is reacting to the material being taught. I will often try and change up routine, or throw in something exciting or familiar. My goal is to make sure each lesson is both educational, and fun. There are tons of ways to do this, but some of my favorite are practicing sight reading with a duet, or learning extended (Or weird) performing techniques.
