Instruments: Trombone, Euphonium

From the beginning of my musical career I have combined performing and teaching as two sides of the same coin. As trombonist in America's first full time brass chamber ensemble (Annapolis Brass Quintet), I toured and recorded internationally and taught private lessons and chamber ensembles around the world. Early on, it became apparent that my love of teaching rivaled that of performing, and I have a special affinity for teaching younger students, because the learning curve is so much steeper and faster!

I have a dynamic, positive, and passionate teaching style. Each student is able to move at their own pace and focus on their specific needs. Students learn to set their own goals and find what practice strategies work for them. I am very quick to point out successes, even in the very small things. I also create space for students to be themselves and create a little bit. Creativity is one of the highest levels of understanding and it's also fun! Read More

I encourage students to have a say in their own learning by picking music they like that will still be educational. Read More
