I love music, I love people, I love teaching music! I love sharing my passion for music and what I have learned over 25 years of playing and teaching private lessons. In 2002 I attained my Masters degree in saxophone performance from the University of Washington in Seattle. In 2004 I joined the Tiptons Sax Quartet and Drums and have been touring and performing internationally since. I have taught privately since 1996, I have taught in public and private schools as a woodwind coach and instructor in after school programs. Read More
Instruments: Clarinet
I have taught every semester I have been in college thanks to being a part of the Musicianship and Advancing Pedagogy--MAP--Program in the College of Musical Arts. I taught for the Middle School and High School Band Academy Programs. There, I taught sectional rehearsal for anywhere between 2-14 students for an hour. I was also an assistant at Anthony Wayne's Marching Band, and most previously taught at Van Buren for my methods placement. Read More

For beginning students I believe it's important for them to begin playing the first day. I get the students to make their first sound and teach the technique and theory as they learn their instrument. For beginning voice students I use the same method, but I like to use a song that the student knows. For students with experience I like to have them play or sing something they know and I evaluate that and I will work with them on that song and build their technique. Read More
Instruments: Clarinet
I work with all of my students on the fundamentals of clarinet playing - proper embouchure, good posture, strong air support, etc., and I’ve compiled a strong bank of exercises and warm-ups (some that I’ve written myself) that cover all the major areas of playing an instrument (tone, technique, articulation, rhythm, etc.). When a student has a good grasp of the basics, there is nothing they can’t play! Read More
Instruments: Guitar, Voice, Clarinet, Ukulele, Recorder, Electric Guitar, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar
I believe that with enough passion and dedication anyone can be a musician. Hard work and my love for music have had me teaching private lessons, classes, and ensembles since 2003. My primary focus is in clarinet and composition. But my study and expertise spans also to voice, ukulele, and guitar. I enjoy playing music from several genres including rock, pop, musical theater, Klezmer, band, country, folk and classical. I am state certified music educator and have been conducting a children's choir in my community since 2013. Read More
