ABOUT
Degrees / Training / Special Info:

BM, Cornish College of the Arts, (double major) Composition and Piano Performance

Overview:

I am a professional musician and composer who plays a variety of instruments in a huge variety of styles. I enjoy and have experience composing and performing a huge range of styles, from jazz to classical, from rock to latin, and from electronic and ambient to avant-garde chamber music and experimental music. Naturally, I enjoy teaching all of it as well. 

EXPERIENCE

My teaching experience began at age 16, where I was already teaching multiple instruments (trombone and piano). Although college stifled my ability to teach, I have since graduated and wish to return to it. 

METHODS USED

For beginning brass players I generally start out with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements series of books. After going through that, with some other material on the side, such as performance pieces, etc, they would progress to the Arban book (at around high school age for the student who began in sixth grade, as I did).  For piano, I much prefer starting out with basic fundamentals, but not to any specific method, in contrast to brass. I haven't found a method I particularly like, or think is effective, so I usually teach my own method, which is very responsive to what the student needs, while still getting in the basics. 

LESSON STYLE

I am a very flexible and reactive teacher. I try my best to tailor to each student's needs at a very specific level. If that requires not doing any sort of predetermined method, so be it.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.

Ok

Are you sure that's your only availability? The more availability you easier it will be to arrange a teacher for you.
