I'm a passionate and curious musician. I'm self-taught in the styles of classical and jazz from when I picked up the clarinet I found at a Salvation Army at the age of 10. I taught myself until I started college and studied with Kelly Lake, Stephanie Gardner, Jeff Quamo and Cris Inguanti at NAU. While working toward receiving my Masters in Clarinet performance at NAU, I taught music theory and aural perception at the undergraduate level. In addition to teaching I've had two pieces written and recorded for me along with a couple tracks on a comedian's recent albums.

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Trumpet, Trombone, Saxophone, Oboe, Music

I tailor my teaching to each student's needs and interests. I emphasize overall musicianship in addition to learning to the fundamentals of the particular instrument, splitting most lessons 50/50 between fundamentals on the instrument and musicianship skills such as music theory, sight-reading, sight-singing, playing by ear, and composition or improvisation. For students in a school band or orchestra program, I will work with them on their band music and bring in additional material as enrichment. Read More

With my colleagues I almost never give any verbal feedback or instruction; they figure it out based on what comes out my trumpet bell 99.9% of the time. I really dislike having to say anything; Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Trumpet, Bass Guitar

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Rubanks Method for their instrument. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce instrument specific work from various time tested method books, solo repertoire appropriate for any auditions they may be interested. For adults, I use the same basic method while using their musical interest to engage them in their lessons and practice and guide them to where they need to be on their musical journey. Read More
