I'm a retired Army musician who loves working with students and I’m eager to share that great adventure that is music. I spent the first five years of my Army career with two wonderful service bands before I won an audition with the U.S. Army Old Guard Fife & Drum Corps as a bugler. During my service I continued to teach at my home studio, as well as freelancing as a trumpeter within the greater Washington DC/Baltimore area. Read More

I have been teaching in the NOVA area for a little over three years now. I started when I returned from out of state and have not looked back since. I have maintained a studio of about 10-15 students almost consistently after about a year of starting. My students have ranged widely in age, from elementary students to retired adults who have have wanted to learn an instrument. I am focused on both enjoying playing but also pushing students to their limits and making them much better. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet, Ukulele
When dealing with the trumpet, no matter the students age or experience, I always prioritize relaxation and efficiency. The trumpet can be a physically demanding instrument and it is important to practice and perform in a way that will allow the student to achieve the maximum gains with every lesson, while also minimizing any risk of strain or overexertion. For beginning students I like to start with tone production and flexibility in order to establish a firm understanding of the rudimentary function of the trumpet and brass embouchure. Read More
Instruments: Voice, Trumpet, Trombone, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, Euphonium, Piccolo, Mallet Percussion
For my own beginner students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet
The first opportunity I had to teach someone trumpet was during my junior year of high school. There was a freshman saxophone player who decided to switch to trumpet, so my band director had me teach her. Ever since then, I have been studying different pedagogical techniques for both trumpet and music in general. My belief is that, in order for a student to have the most success, they must set a goal for themselves. Read More
