My greatest desire is encourage my students, and impart a love of music in them. It's important to me to teach students not to have an attitude of perfectionism, but to embrace each phase of their growth; to get out and learn by doing.

I began teaching private lessons in college as a side job, but due to touring with orchestras I was unable to truly develop my own studio. I also volunteer taught students from low-income families through the Azusa Pacific Conservatory for two years.

I have been working in National Parks for the past 3 years and have always brought my instruments with me. Read More
