Instruments: Voice Flute Recorder Piccolo
My teaching began in the late 1990's as professional musician in the United States Marine Corps teaching new Marine Musicians how to double & triple tongue and play minor scales as well as Greek Modes.I enjoyed the challenge of teaching someone a skill or technique. My reward is watching the lightbulb come on and them master the new skill. I have played professionally for over 15 years and taught flautists during this time. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Flute
With my primary insturment being flute, I began teaching private lessons in 2008 while I was still in high school. I taught the younger flute students in the Worthington School Distrct. When I started college, I continued to teach flute lessons and I then began teach saxophone lessons as well. I have been a flute technician for high school marching bands including Thomas Worthington, Slyvania Southview High School and Napoleon High School. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I've been in the teaching field for the past couple years through small groups and ensembles, as well as one on one private lessons. I've helped both band and choir directors with their ensembles and selected students, mostly marching band camps and OMEA Solo and Ensemble participants. Below I'll list a couple of experiences I had from Marion Harding's middle and high school summer camps: A couple weeks before school begins, the Harding Music Department requires students interested in participating in the middle school band to attend a weeklong music camp where they learn how to start making a sound on their selected instrument.

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Flute Keyboard
I do not have a specific teaching style. Being a teacher is a learning experience for the teacher just as much as it is for the student. Every student learns a different way and can require a unique way of teaching. No one student will get the same teaching method. Overall, I do approach each lesson with patients, the wanting for the student to succeed and making the lesson fun but also productive. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Flute Clarinet Drums Bassoon Keyboard
I have taught band, choir, and theater in the public schools for four years, and have been teaching Special Education for the last five years. My background as a Special Education teacher has added a unique aspect to my teaching style, and I work incredibly well with students of all ability levels. If your child has some unique learning challenges, I am more than happy to partner with your family to develop an individual plan for learning music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Flute Music
I teach through positive reinforcement and encouragement with a set structure that allows for discipline and certain benchmarks that can determine success and mastery of certain skills. I truly believe that when students are nurtured and given a comfortable space they will excel as creating music and art is vulnerable and requires the student to let go. This cannot happen unless the teacher facilitates an environment and space for organic innovation by the student. Read More

When will I start to see results?
Every day! Results are not necessarily tied to me, or any instructor, for that matter. Rather, it is my job to provide material, instruction, and benchmarks to assess, and it is the student that progresses in their own unique way. Music is a journey, with no destination, and results are highly subjective. I am deeply passionate about understanding how "results" are a personal aspect of learning, and while they can certainly provide motivation to continue the journey, they're not always something tangible - sometimes, simply sounding a note a bit clearer, or having a better understanding of breathing, and how it affects all aspects of playing is a huge result, yet the outward projection of the sax (to the audience) changes little. Results are produced every time the student picks up their saxophone.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Have a goal in mind. This doesn't have to be a formal goal, such as playing Charlie Parker's "Donna Lee" at 300BPM - while that would be noteworthy, the goal of practicing is simply doing something. An example could be playing mid-A, holding it for as long as possible, while maintaining solid intonation from soft (piano) to loud (fortissimo). Keep it simple, but know the goal. Sometime just playing for 15 minutes is a goal, as time doesn't allow for much more - great! Now, go do it! Again, the goal is simply as stated, nothing that someone else deems important - it's all about you!
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The fact that I/you will never master our instrument - there is always something to learn, something to improve, and something to incorporate new into our musical portfolio. For many students, this is a difficult barrier to overcome, as they are accustomed to a general formula that suggests "x" amount of "y" will equal "xy." With music, it's not that simple - nor should it be! Music should be seen as a high-personal, enjoyable medium for expression, and what is accomplished today only continues to build upon the musical arsenal, not a step toward a finite end.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Along with awards from my school and various awards from Berklee College of Music, I am most proud of my ability to share the saxophone with others seeking to learn. I understand that the ability to effectively teach is a gift, and I feel as if I've been awarded a lifetime honor of having the privilege to do just that, all the while enjoying it and laughing along the way. Years of commitment to the saxophone and music pays off in many ways, chief of which is the ability to share my experiences and teach people of all ages and abilities.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose the saxophone because, to me, nothing sounded like it, and I wanted to create music with that sound. It's also the reason I incorporate demonstration into my teaching methods, as I want to inspire others in the same manner - if they hear something they love, they'll be more motivated to achieve their goals. The saxophone is also an incredible versatile instrument - from 12-bar blues to funk rock, there is a place for the sax, and, to me, that's an excellent reason to know how to play it.
