My teaching experience extends back to my high school days when I would teach students enrolled in our band new instruments. I also taught for three years from 2009 to 2012 in private studio.

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.
