I'm a 2018 graduate of Temple University's Boyer College of Music, where I earned my Bachelor of Music degree in Jazz Studies: Saxophone Performance. I play the Saxophone, Clarinet, and Piano, and I'm glad to be teaching students all of these instruments. At Temple, I studied under saxophonists Dick Oatts and Ben Schachter. I lead my own Jazz Quartet, and I've performed with groups including the Philadelphia Funk Authority, Temple Avenue Quintet, Tony Gairo's Crosscurrent Big Band, and the Work In Progress Jazz Orchestra.

I have been teaching woodwind music lessons since I was a music education student at Simpson College starting in 2010. I graduated in 2015 with a bachelor's in music education and I am currently a full time band teacher. This is my 6th year teaching band and I am currently the 5-12 band director for North Linn Community Schools. I regularly instruct large group rehearsals and lessons for my job. I love starting beginner musicians and seeing the progress they make in such a short amount of time. Read More

Taught and performed for for 30 years... But seeing and hearing is believing, I've posted a video of me playing ajazz demonstration of a Hubert Laws composition.. This was part of my therapy after open heart surgery and a mini stroke..

I typically divide my lessons into quarters so that the first part is just scale work. The second part is scale patterns and technique. The third portion is prepared materials, and the final portion is listening. I bring an Ipod with close to 750,000 songs on it for kids to choose pieces featuring their own instruments for inspirational purposes. I find that listening can be just as informative as pressing down keys:) Read More

I went on to study flute at Albion College where I held a full solo recital, competed and won my college's Concerto Competition, and was a regular soloist with the symphony orchestra on campus. Since college, I have been freelancing, teaching lessons off and on, and sharing my talent on the streets of Downtown Holland as a street performer. I am very passionate about music and enjoy every opportunity given to me to perform. Read More
