Instruments: Guitar, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet

My first steps into teaching were as a camp counselor at a local music summer camp in Shaker Heights from 2008-2012. During that time I had a few students who were just beginning to play saxophone and clarinet. Those experiences coupled with phenomenal teachers throughout high school inspired me to pursue a bachelor's degree in Music Education at Ithaca College. During my collegiate years I continued honing my abilities and knowledge of all the instruments I play while also studying music theory, conducting, and composition along with researching pedagogical approaches.

Instruments: Saxophone, Clarinet

So far, I have only taught one beginner clarinet player when I was in college. I have taken many courses on teaching and feel confident that I can teach players of any level on clarinet and saxophone. My goal is for students to love the instrument(s) they chose. I am well-versed in classical and jazz music when it comes to clarinet and saxophone. I have also played in many pit orchestras and normal orchestras, so I do have experience in other areas as well.
