I have been teaching and mentoring students for 7 years. I hold a B.A. from Hampton University, a M.M. from Central Michigan University, and a North Carolina teaching license in instrumental music education. I am currently a band director in Leland North Carolina. I teach brass, woodwind and percussion methods. I enjoy working with students and performing great music.
My teaching career began in college. I taught trombone lessons and was an instructor for the Hampton University Band Camp. In 2009 I became a graduate assistant at Central Michigan University. I also taught at an elementary school while I was in graduate school. After college I moved to North Carolina and became a band director on the middle school and high school level. My strongest skill is composition and arranging. My works have been played on the middle school, high school, collegiate, and professional level. This skill set includes jazz, popular music, classical, gospel, small ensembles, and large ensemblesMy teaching career began in college.

I believe that every student has the ability to learn music regardless of talent or background. During the first lesson I use specific techniques to understand student learning styles and levels of musicianship. From there, my lessons are specifically geared to meet the student at their current level. Your child will have lessons that will show growth, confidence, and fun.

Each lesson challenges the student to achieve or surpass their goal. Students are free to ask questions, explore, and take risks while learning their instrument. Every lesson provides the use of Technology, audio, video, and the latest music software. To add further reassurance, I choose to play instruments along with the students during every lesson. This style allows students to learn while enjoying themselves.
