There are 3 things I have learned in my years of teaching. They are 'Praise, Tact, and Kindness'. I believe everyone benefits from positive affirmations and reinforcements.

Throughout all my years of teaching, students achieve higher results when the teacher builds them up instead of tearing them down. Read More

For younger students, I like to start off with the fundamentals/basics to set a good foundation to what we will be learning in the future. Lip slurs, long tones, embouchure amp; tuning are all key assets for beginners. Now for my advanced players we will definitely start in the music bible (The Arban Book) and work from start to finish. This will definitely teach players about double/triple tonguing, octave leaps/jumps my personal favorite dynamics. Read More

I believe in the philosophy of and empty cup.

It always gets me when a student that is stuck on a part of their music finally understands and performs the passage perfectly. Read More
