For all ages I like to begin with a skills test. Where they show me where they currently stand with their instrument. From there I refer to books by Trevor Wye to give students a strong fundamental basis in tone, technique, articulation, intonation/vibrato, and breathing/scales. From there the lessons would be tailored to where the student wants to go with their learning. Composition books would be kept to write down what students need to practice and to record their progress. Read More

I am a fun, outgoing and passionate instructor who sets goals with the student and works with them to achieve them.  I have a very diverse background in performance and in teaching as well.  I most enjoy performing jazz, classical, and musical theater.  I have taught students as young as four years old, up through adult learners on various instruments and at various experience levels.
