I take the student at his/her own pace. I try to be sensitive to the needs of the student not just his/her musical needs but his/her academic needs as my ability to continue working with the student depends upon his/her academic success. I will suggest a basic routine at home: Housework, Practice, Study, Leisure, Bedtime. Both for Practice and Study I recommend organizing subject matter in order of least favorite to favorite which gets the least favorite out of the way and saves the best for last. Read More

Instruments: Saxophone

I am into keeping the student into what they are doing with music. I will make learning an instrument as fun as I can and push them as much as I need to. I will not overwork my students because that is not fun. I will have to judge how I take everything with the student because each student learns differently. I need to teach you at the pace that works for you or your child all people learn differently and it is my job to figure out how to get you to where you want to be and at the pace that is good for you, Read More

With 30 years of woodwind teaching experience, I have taught all levels from elementary students to college and beyond! I encourage regular practice schedules of a half an hour five times a week. I have developed 15 practical practice techniques that are fun and advance the student at a steady pace. Also, I encourage my students to perform in small recitals biannually. Many of my students have gone on to win many awards such as Region/ All-State placements, festival first chairs and Solo and Ensemble State winners. Read More

My teaching experience began when I was in college. I taught trombone and euphonium private lessons for several years in the school district that I attended when I was a student. Additionally, I also have done All State Masterclasses for the TMEA trombone etudes. Encouraging regular practice, building the life-long skill of discipline, and hard work are key skills that I enjoy getting to emphasize to my students, as it has a tendency to build student progression and ultimately gain a passion for learning the instrument.
