I have always been eager to invest my knowledge of music into anyone with a keen interest. I began teaching in my under grad at UNF. I went back to the middle school I attended, LaVilla School of the Arts, and asked to host a master class. After being granted permission I taught a class of about 10 students for an hour, and then after the class I passed out my business cards so they could contact me. Read More

My teaching experience begins in graduate school in San Diego. I spent most of high school and college developing my own skills. I have taught ages ranging from 10-25. I think it is important for teachers in an artistic field to have experience teaching outside their focus in order to learn more about how they teach. In graduate school, I taught a total of 6 undergraduate courses in Acting and Public Speaking. Read More

Music lessons can be very boring if there is not the right balance of things taught. I always make sure that each lesson incorporates a mixture of technical work specific to the clarinet, scales, note and rhythm reading, basic clarinet repertoire, well known pieces, unknown pieces and sight reading. Once my student has built up enough skills I then encourage them to join community/school bands and/or orchestras. I take pride in leading students into the wonderful world of music. Read More

My teaching emphasizes development of the most important fundamentals of woodwind technique. Using a wide variety of repertoire and exercises, I focus on developing a solid foundation for tone production/intonation, articulation, and digital dexterity. At the same time, I encourage students to explore repertoire and style, both for listening and for performing, to help them find the music they really love. Methods books I use to help develop technique include: Rubank for all woodwinds Deville for saxophone Klose for clarinet Moise for flute Charlie Parker Omnibook for jazz studies Repertoire for performance can include anything the student requests, as well as basic material in a variety of western and eastern styles.
