I ultimately hope after being exposed to a wide variety of methods and ideas, students will begin to create their own exercises to solve their own musical and technical challenges. I like to assign listenings of various musicians and gage what musical interests a student has. For example, if I notice a student has a particular affinity for cornet solos, I will begin to assign solos in that vein. Alternatively, if I notice a student struggling with an articulation necessary for French solo repertoire, I may encourage a student to listen and learn solos in that style. Read More

I have played in jazz bands, pit orchestras for musicals, symphony orchestras, wind ensembles, brass quintets, and other various ensembles. I have been featured as a solo trumpeter for bands and orchestras. What I have also learned to love and appreciate are other types of opportunities in music such as being a singer, solo singer in an opera, music director, choir director, artistic director for musicals, composer, private trumpet teacher, and anything else that proves interesting.

Practice doesn't make perfect; PERFECT practice makes perfect! The best way to develop a skill is to work consistently and carefully, which is why I encourage all of my students not just to practice until they get it right, but to practice until they can't get it wrong. That being said, students must work at their own pace for this method to be effective. Together, the student and I will set realistic goals at each lesson, allowing the student to feel a personal responsibility in achieving progress. Read More

I love music! I started playing when I was just 5 years old, but I didn't start my own trumpet studio until I was in high school. I grew up in Livermore, California and participated in as many musical ensembles as I could. By the time I graduated Livermore High School, I had performed in several musicals, plays, choirs, and was a featured soloist in both the band and choir programs. Read More
