Instruments:
I have played and taught a wide range of styles throughout my life. I graduated from the University of Washington in 2010, majoring in Guitar performance. I have had the opportunity to play in rock bands, jazz ensembles and as a solo performer. I am currently getting my music ed credential at SJSU. I still play frequently in town with my jazz ensemble.
Instruments:
I tailor each lesson to the unique self and stage of musical development of the student and actively create custom lesson plans and materials to best suit their progress and musical curiousities. Improvisation and rhythm games, music theory essentials, and instrumental basics are core components of my teaching practice.
Instruments:
I have studied music for over 25 years. I graduated from California State University, East Bay in 2010, and have completed 1 year of my M.M. in Trombone Performance from the University of North Texas. I am currently based in the SF Bay Area and plan to continue my studies here. I have extensive experience playing in many ensembles in many different styles, such as: orchestra, brass quintet, jazz band, rock band, horn sections, chamber music, as well as numerous others. I have participated in Masterclasses with reknowned conductors Esa-Pekka Salonen and Gustavo Dudamel. I have studied Music History and Music Education in depth as well, and I have a deep understanding of musical styles and form.
Instruments:
I have been giving private lessons since I graduated high school. I received my master's in trumpet performance from the University of Wyoming, where I taught applied trumpet lessons, directed jazz ensembles, and lectured jazz theory and history courses. I enjoy working with students of all ages and ability levels. I believe that the concepts we cover in music lessons extend to other aspects of a student's life, and I love to see the positive impact I have on people. I was someone who was certainly not a natural when it came to playing the trumpet, and the struggles I've gone through on the instrument have given me the knowledge to accurately address these issues in student's playing.
Instruments:
My teaching experience goes back to late high school, as I began teaching beginner upright bass to young students part time. As my passion and dedication to music developed throughout college, I expanded to teaching more advanced students, in a wider range of styles and instruments. I also tutored theory, composition, and ear training in more academic settings. To me the fundamental job of the teacher is to foster a student's passion for music, as I believe the most effective way to learn how to play and create is to marry the practical issues of learning to the joy that that learning brings.
