I have been a music teacher since my college days working with kids in a university program, as well as being a TA and teaching adults. I have had students in my own studio off and on when I haven't been performing or being a music director and elementary school teacher. I try to meet students where they are whether it's a beginner or even someone who considers themselves tone deaf and to encourage them to honestly try, give it a real go. Read More

Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet

I have taught saxophone, flute, and clarinet to students of all ages for over the past 8 years and have found it best to tailor the lessons to the individual needs of the student while emphasizing the basics of tone production, technique and proper attitude. Recently, I was the saxophone professor at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, AZ. I also like to help the student develop time management skills to allow him or her to create a healthy habit of practicing. Read More

Even if the student only wants to play for their own enjoyment I still find a way to make the material challenging for them to improve their skills, technique, musicianship, and thus make it worth their while.

I believe that my students should have high expectations and have fun while completing goals. I make sure lessons are fun and progressive.

I give students accompanying assignments to be supplemental to what they have in technique or to help with school music. Read More

My teaching style is very straight forward, I am not a strict teacher. I always try to enlighten my students to find their own voice in music by encouraging and inspiring. I want my students to understand they do not have to sound or play like anybody but themselves, which make their music unique and beautiful. I would expect my students to follow my instructions, and come to lessons prepared. Read More
