I am an upbeat energetic teacher who loves music and loves teaching. I have played saxophone since I was 8 years old, and I am now in my late 50's. I play professionally for many local Denver bands including jazz, blues, pop, contemporary, and have my own music business to play events at weddings, parties etc. I have traveled The Noreweign Cruise ships twice on jazz cruises and had the opportunity to play with the famous bassist Rufus Reed and saxophonist Lou Donaldson.

I am a lifetime musician, dedicated to the authentic exploration of the creative self. I sing, write/compose, produce, play saxophone, piano, guitar, bass guitar, and drums. Music has led me to play all around the U.S., as well as Morocco and France. As a teacher, I focus on what the student wants to achieve. I implement sound technique(s) through an avenue that best suits the student. Not everyone wants to be a concert pianist, or even a performing musician, so our lessons would be tailored to your exact wants and needs. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Saxophone, Flute, Bass Guitar

I started teaching two years ago at a private lesson studio in Denver called My Music Skool. My main focus was on piano and saxophone. Now I teach privately as a freelance musician. Two points I emphasize when teaching are practicing at least once a day no matter how long you play and learning what inspires you. There will always be some sort of theory I sneak in whether it's learning scales or building technical skills that will build confidence and ability, but if these devices aren't being applied to the type of music that inspires the student, then learning music becomes discouraging instead of fun.

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Violin, Saxophone, Clarinet

I have a great breadth and depth of experience with instrumental music education. Clarinet has been my primary performance instrument, but I have found over the years that the techniques that I use to teach clarinet are easily and successfully transferable to the other instruments that I teach. Besides the clarinet, I also teach saxophone, guitar, violin and piano throughout the Colorado Springs area. Of course the differences have to do with embouchere, fingerings (which are similar to the clarinet), and tone production. Read More
