Instruments: Trumpet
16 years of playing the trumpet is the majority of my experience. Middle school, high school, and college were conventional means of education. However, playing outside of the classroom, watching and playing along side musicians that make a living off preforming day in and day out, that's where the richest experience comes from. I've met, played with, and watched so many talented individuals, some who have become great friends of mine. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet
As with all students, I like tooassess the level of experience before setting a particular method. Once I teach proper warm up habits, I start by working on scales and range development. Once a basic knowledge of scales and warm up habits are established, I search the student to see what her/his interests are in music styles. Once that is accomplished...we can move on the bigger and better things. Read More
Instruments: Piano, Voice, Trumpet, Euphonium, Music, Keyboard
With beginning students, I tend to focus on the fundamentals for the instrument, and music. An adequate grasp of the fundamentals, along with consistent practice and rehearsal times, lead to a student expediting their abilities. At this point, I will start distributing solo repertoire/literature and duets. I always encourage my students to perform for one another and to their friends and family. Not every student learns the same way. Read More
Instruments: Guitar, Trumpet, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet
I am an experienced and passionate musician who teaches for the love of music, not for the love of competition. I hold degrees in music education and saxophone from the University of Wisconsin at Whitewater and humanities from California State at Dominguez Hills, as well as a number of year's study in saxophone and jazz improvisation and theory at the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music in Milwaukee. I have been published through Plank Road Publishing and Music K-8 Magazine and have performed at venues large and small, as well as theatres, festivals and clubs from the Midwest to Florida and ultimately to New Mexico.

Instruments: Trumpet, Trombone, Saxophone, Clarinet, Euphonium, French Horn, Tuba
I like to first access the student and their proficiency level. Once I discover your weak points I focus on them and drill them to perfection. Once we have those down. Of course it takes much practice on your part at home alone, then we can move onto actual music and integrating all the skills you learned naturally into harmonious music.--There is no set way to my teaching style because every student is different and must be addressed with their own distinct methods and styles of learning. -I do not teach in the way schools teach their subjects such as history or math. -I learn the student before I can teach the student based off how they live, interact, and learn.
