I find immense joy in seeing a student discover something new about their instrument.

I am a huge believer in teaching and learning with a growth mindset. Read More

I take great pride in being able to teach on an individual basis, meaning I teach according to what the student needs and wants to be taught. Read More

For trumpet students I initially provide my own material, based on the exercises which I have found to be beneficial in my own playing. Early on, I'll ask most students to play a recording of one of their favorite songs, which we'll use to improvise to as well as for ear-training purposes. As soon as the student has learned enough notes, we'll begin playing songs. I firmly believe that developing a good sense of a singing style is the foundation for good playing. Read More

I have been teaching private lessons since then, and performing professionally for the same amount of time. Read More
