There are lots of great teaching tools and methods available, and once I have an understanding of a student's current ability level and what they want to work on, I can make recommendations.

For kids I find that having a large quantity of music to learn at each level gives more variety and sense of achievement, so I usually recommend beginning students have multiple books to aid in learning.

This yields a well-rounded student who is proud of their achievements and eager to move forward. For adults I recommend a lesson/theory combination book at least to help with reading music.

I play several instruments and love to play the saxophone. I played saxophone for a year at Oregon State University in the Jazz Combo 1988-89.

I find music an excellent way to express my feelings and have been participating in local music jams throughout Oregon. Read More

My name is Evan, I am a huge British comedy fan, and I am a constant, evolving advocate of music. Classical music is my specialty, but I believe music crosses much more than disciplines, and I encourage that mindset in my teaching. I recently received my Master's degree from McGill University in Vocal Performance; while there, I was fortunate enough to work professionally through the Opera de Montreal and through the Opera America conference held in Montreal this past year.
