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

Because in order for a teacher to be as effective as can be for the student, they must get to know the student as a player and see what they already know so that the student is properly challenged and not bored or frustrated.
