Overview:
I remember my first experience playing in the band program at my elementary school. It was exciting and fun and from that point on I was hooked. I have been playing in different bands ever since, from classical quartets to small jazz groups, funk, blues and big bands.
EXPERIENCE
I currently lead my own group and recently released my debut CD New York Stories. In March 2011, I was the guest artist at the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts Spring Jazz Festival in Houston, TX. I have had the opportunity to perform extensively across the United States and Europe and have performed at many of New York's premier live music venues such as The Blue Note, Birdland, and The Knitting Factory.

LESSON STYLE
My teaching goal is to create a positive learning environment that encourages students to achieve their goals through discipline, creativity and successful modeling. As a teacher, I feel it is essential to be able to help my students to attain their goals in music and realize that each student’s goal may differ slightly. In order for the students to be motivated in their practice, smaller goals must be established. These goals can range from learning scales to preparation for an upcoming performance. I guide my students through increasingly demanding goals with positive motivation so that the student will enjoy the benefit of attaining these goals.
