Professional but fun. First we review the last couple of lessons, and then we do new- building upon what we have done earlier. Each student is unique, and I teach to them individually. I call it my Individual Music Program! I really get a kick out of seeing my students learn and progress along the musical staff, as the month go on., Often times I will get a brother and sister for lessons teaching them to play music together and become comfortable performing for family members and the public.

I have been teaching Trombone and Bass to students of all ages for over 15 years and still love giving students the tools and technique to progress and achieve their goals as musicians. Seeing the moment it "clicks" for a student and watching them improve as players and the change that makes in their own image and self confidence is one of the most satisfying aspects of teaching music. My professional career has taken me around the world and allowed me to do and see things I never would have dreamed. Read More

I love the prestige of a successful lesson, to see the revelation of "cool" in the student and myself. It seems music was made for me, but also for anyone else who wants to learn. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to my high school days. I began giving guitar lessons to some younger kids in my hometown. As my own musical ability grew, I began teaching lessons on upright and electric bass as well. In addition to one-on-one lessons I teach at a summer music camp. I lead theory and improvisation classes, as well as coach the camp's jazz ensemble. It's always the highlight of my summers! Read More
