I am a professional jazz musician and composer in the Tampa Bay Area, playing gigs whenever I can, subbing in for USF, writing music for marching bands and other jazz groups, and more! I also teach lessons over at Northside Christian School in St. Petersburg, Florida. I teach there twice a week, and I have overall 12 students that I teach private individual lessons, mostly trombone, but also euphonium, tuba, and also trumpet as well. Read More

I love kids and music and decided to combine the two. Piano lessons from fourth grade through high school furthered my love for instruments. I played flute and piccolo through high school and then graduated with my Bachelors of Instrumental Music Education from Troy in 2005. I then worked for several years with Camp Victory in various capacities, including music. Now I teach private lessons through Encore! Fine Arts Studio as well as Musika and elsewhere. Read More

I work with Rubank or any method books provided by their band instructor. There will be supplemental materials, especially for more advanced students, that are instrument specific such as etudes and technical exercises. We will continue focusing on band literature, contemporary, classical, or solo literature depending on the goals of the students and their interests. While there are some general methods, it is best to meet the student where their needs are and tailor the specific methods to those needs. Read More

My methods are based primarily on the needs and the interests of the student.  I am very flexible and can adapt my teaching to fit these needs and interests.  Students come from many different backgrounds and teaching to the ways they are either most comfortable or to fit the needs of their public school music teacher (if applicable) is essential for success. I have gained a great deal of experience teaching online-format lessons and have been finding ways to make the most of the format. Read More
