I am passionate about expressing my creative artistry through my music. As an instructor, I work with students to cultivate their artistic goals while creating a positive learning environment. I moved to Eugene from Boston, Massachusetts. It is there that I graduated from Boston Conservatory with a Masters of Music degree in Trumpet Performance. I studied under the teachings of Thomas Siders, Associate Principle of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. I have performed throughout the Boston area and began teaching through the conservatory.

My teaching style revolves heavily around what is happening with the mind and body while a student is learning. When teaching in a manner involving a “do, hear, see” process, for example, one can make the note, hear the note and then see how that note is noted.

My main teaching experience comes from working with multiple marching bands during their summer training camps. I worked as a percussion instructor and I taught marching techniques, playing techniques, drills, and rehearsed parts within the section. While in college I maintained a few beginning private students where my primary focus was establishing fundamental playing technique. I love motivating students with music that they enjoy. When someone enjoys what they're playing, they tend to be more engaged and practice more. Read More
