I'm a passionate teacher who understands and cares for the success of my students. I treat each students differently as everyone learns in a different manner.

Music is my first passion and being able to share the experience of learning and instrument is an incredible privilege. This spring I will graduate from the University of Iowa with a Bachelors of Music with a specialty in Music Therapy and Trumpet performance. During my time at the University of Iowa I played jazz shows with combos, big bands, wind ensembles, symphony groups and more. I also played with rock, funk and pop groups outside of school and in my free time. Read More

Some other resources I find myself reaching for again and again are the theory and ear-training games from "Teach Piano Today" and the familiar folk songs from GmajorMusictheory.org. Read More

While my educational background allows me to offer my students a high level of instruction in instrumental technique, my first priority with every student is to foster their love and understanding of music through playing their instrument.
