For younger students who haven't developed their own taste in music yet I introduce them to songs of many different styles so that they can start to determine where they want to go musically in the future.

By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More

I'm a very easygoing and straightforward person, but as a musician I take what I do very seriously.

I was clarinet section leader for one year and also played with the Bravura Youth Symphony Orchestra outside of school for three years. I became clarinet section leader and board member for that group as well. Read More
