How I teach is directly linked to how I play, with passion and energy. I prefer to show, verse explain. It has been my experience, both teaching and learning, that it is easier to get results from the student by showing them the tone you want them to produce or the articulation you desire ect. This is why I only teach Trumpet, if I can't show you how, then I am not being true to the student. Read More

With beginning students, I tend to focus on the fundamentals for the instrument, and music. An adequate grasp of the fundamentals, along with consistent practice and rehearsal times, lead to a student expediting their abilities. At this point, I will start distributing solo repertoire/literature and duets. I always encourage my students to perform for one another and to their friends and family. Not every student learns the same way. Read More

For beginners, I personally recommend the Essential Elements Book. If you are barely starting on an instrument, make sure you get book 1.

For intermediate students such as older middle school students, Essential Elements Books 2 and 3 would be my personal recommendation. Read More
