Instruments: Saxophone Clarinet

My teaching experience goes back to my undergraduate days, where I had plenty of field teaching opportunities as well as student teaching. My clarinet professor gave me opportunities to help out with teaching the Woodwind Methods classes at USM for more pedagogical experience.

For my beginning piano students, I emphasize the twelve major and minor scales with proper fingering, first one octave and then two octaves.
