Since middle school, I have always loved helping friends with passages from solo and ensemble and band pieces, no matter the instrument. Whether it was rhythms, notes or intonation, even if I didn't know how to play the instrument yet, I would use a fingering chart and help them however I could. During high school, I would help beginner students that have never made a sound on an instrument learn the basics of what the instrument parts do, how to blow/buzz on the mouthpiece, and how to read music and play the instrument along with the music.

For all students I strongly encourage an appropriate level to begin with. I am very familiar and prefer to teach with the James Bastien series.

Other than this specific material I like to match personalities along with solos and other fun activities! Read More
