I have been teaching woodwind music lessons since I was a music education student at Simpson College starting in 2010. I graduated in 2015 with a bachelor's in music education and I am currently a full time band teacher. This is my 6th year teaching band and I am currently the 5-12 band director for North Linn Community Schools. I regularly instruct large group rehearsals and lessons for my job. I love starting beginner musicians and seeing the progress they make in such a short amount of time. Read More

My teaching experience goes back to when I was little and worked with my friends who were not as fortunate as I and taught them how to pay piano. When I was little I had no confidence and music was the way I chose to express myself. I always look for those Ah Ha moments when students finally learn music. Through lessons I chose to meet them where they are at and help the get to where they want to be. Read More
