I have been teaching for 8 years private trombone lessons, but in the past year I have learned the trumpet as a part of an internship I was a part of and learned to teach trumpet to beginning students as well.

I have been teaching ever since I attained my Eagle Scout at 15 and reached adulthood with the Boy Scouts of America. My music teaching experience revolves around the private lessons I have given during college and beyond part time, as well as teaching sectionals and small groups for local churches when needed. I enjoy emphasizing the mental aspects of playing the Trumpet as well as combining a good embouchure, diligent breathing techniques and a serious dedication to hearing the sound inside ones mind before playing.

I received my first major experience teaching at the collegiate level while I was a teaching assistant at Penn State University. From 2016-2018 I taught 15 college students ranging from undeclared freshmen to a 3rd year Physics PhD student. Moving to Southern California, I began teaching at LAMUSART, an arts school serving the community of East Los Angeles, providing quality and affordable lessons and opportunities to students in the area. I encourage students to seek out and create their own performance opportunities. Read More

I truly believe that all learning, while serious in nature, should be fun and exciting in methodology.
