For students, both children and adults, I like to put great emphasis on ear training and improvisation. Although I emphasize ear training and improvisation, I do not neglect sight reading and learning repertoire. I make sure to balance these two as well as make sure the student is practicing songs they enjoy as well! Read More

For students interested in learning jazz, I emphasize ear training and rhythmic feel, while introducing more advanced theory and technical studies. Read More

My teaching takes the form of private lessons on flute, clarinet, and saxophone, and courses at NYU.

I set realistic goals for my students, but emphasize the importance of the process more so than the end result. Read More
