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

Nothing is more rewarding than being a part of instilling the love of music in a student. That is why I believe that it is important not only to work on a high level of achievement, but to have fun while doing it. Music performance comes at different levels and different speeds. We move at the rate that the student needs without stress. I am well versed in many different learning styles and can adapt each lesson for the unique student I am working with. Read More

I start all beginning brass players in the Tradition of Excellence method (Kjos Music) as well as individually designed drills and warm-ups. Intermediate students progress to the Rubank Intermediate Method as well as the beginning of the Arbans Method and grade 1 -3 solos. Depending on the individual, advanced students move on to grades 4-6 solos and method books that are specific to their instrument. All students, starting with "advanced beginners" are encouraged to play on studio recitals in a positive, supportive setting. Read More
