I've been teaching jazz to students since 2010 and have had the opportunity to create workshops focusing on jazz history, improvisation and sound painting. I like to work with new students to build a foundation for trumpet playing and developing a solid tone and embouchure. I like to use a combination of technique studies as well as improvisation skills which I feel builds an appreciation for the art of jazz music. Read More

My experience in teaching reaches back to my senior year (2017-2018) of high school, where I used my free time to volunteer at a middle school in my home town. When I reached college that summer, I began teaching friends and several of their family members, as well as middle school and high school students across Central Texas, out of my make-shift studio, from 2018 until 2020, when the lock-down took place.

I encourage students to do their absolute best but to not push themselves too hard. When you're learning an instrument, it's not always going to be easy. It's important that students can still have fun when they're learning. That's why I give music to students that I know can be accomplished. When a student encounters a difficult series of notes or rhythms, I will break it down and help to make it more understandable. Read More
